Jakob Robinson Makes Acrobatic Play For Interception, Leads To BYU TD

PROVO, Utah- Nop. 14 BYU’s defense has been incredibly opportunistic in an undefeated 5-0 start to the season, and Homecoming against the Arizona Wildcats has been no different. On the first Wildcats play from scrimmage in the second half, Jakob Robinson tipped a Noah Fifita pass to himself, giving the Cougars possession inside the Arizona 10-yard-line.
