However, theoffense again failed on their two-point conversion attempt. The defense finished the game with seven quarterback sacks from six different Wildcats. Two-yearscniorstarterjantz Afuvailed the defensive squad with 10 tackles, seven assisted and three unassisted. Senior linebacker Deric Gurley also had a strong performance with seven tackles, five assisted and two unassisted. Freshman linebacker Naki Pilivi made his presence known as he had one interception, one quarterback sack and five tackles. "Our goal this spring on defense was to keep their intensity and enthusiasm up to the level they had at the end of last season," Arslanian said. "I thought they played with even more emotion than they showed last season. It's hard to point out any one individual effort, they all played hard." The game wrapped up three weeks of spring practice sessions and Arslanian is still unsure of who will be leading the Wildcat offense in the fall. 'They each had their moments, but not enough of them," Arslanian said. "It's hard to get any kind of consistency or rhythm when you shuffle quarterbacks in and out, but I'm not making any excuses, our defense had a lot to do with holding them down." Martin led the field of four quarterbacks battling for the starting job left vacant by Jamie Martin. The sophomore quarterback completed 11 of 17 passes for 149 yards and had the offense's only two touchdowns. Junior quarterback Rob Westervelt completed 10 of 28 passes for 114 yards. He also had one interception. Sophomore Tyler DeHart went four for seven, for 38 yards with one interception and freshman Brad Otton was five out of nine for 24 yards. "We had some good drives," Westervelt said. "It will just take some time get our problems ironed out and gain timing." Se niorTrevor Shaw led 12different players that caught passes in the game. Shaw had six receptions for 74 yards. Senior tight end Wade Lindley had four receptions for 75 yards. The Wildcat rushing attack was led by sophomore running back Eric Roof who totaled 63 yards on nine carries. Senior running back Eddie Lua gained 35 yards on nine carries. Arslanian said that he was pleased to see such a large turnout at the game. He said it is a good sign of things to come. The Wildcats will play seven home games this year. --- -, , . . ..z , , . . -"i"r""' . " ,,t i ,"" '"v ''' '.--. ' w v v" '. 'f - I ' 5 T' r V V -" , Kit. j $ : , , V ;" r v ...
