Leading up to Saturday, Arizona's top two wide receivers in fall training camp were Giovanni Richardson and Chris Hunter.
Even though Tre Spivey, who had a productive spring and offseason, is the other member of Arizona's starting trio at receiver, the fourth-year player from Chandler hasn't had as many "wow" plays like the aformentioned receivers.
In a red-zone 7-on-7 period Spivey high-pointed a pass from quarterback Noah Fifita over cornerback Swayde Griffin — Spivey "Mossed" Griffin — in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown. It was one of the top plays of training camp for the 6-4, 219-pound Spivey.
Other highlights from the 7-on-7 period inside the red zone include Fifita completing a touchdown over the middle to Illinois transfer tight end Cole Rusk. Wyoming transfer cornerback Tyrese Boss had a pass breakup covering wide receiver Mizell, who bounced back two plays later with a touchdown against Boss.

Backp quarterback Sawyer Anderson completed a touchdown pass to Mizell near the end of the 7-on-7 period.
There were other highlights from a 102-degree practice at Davis Sports Center and Dick Tomey Practice Fields. Here are other notes and observations from Saturday's practice:
* Kicker Michael Salgado-Medina was 2 for 3 on field goals in the final team period. Salgado-Medina had yet to miss a field goal in fall camp before Saturday. His miss was a 47-yarder after the field-goal unit rushed on the field to quickly kick the field goal. Salgado-Medina made a 51- and a 50-yarder to end practice.
* Mizell had a strong performance on Saturday, with multiple touchdown catches from backup quarterback Sawyer Anderson, including a 25-yard touchdown in the final team period. Mizell also had a catch and picked up yards for a first down despite smothering coverage by cornerback Jay'Vion Cole. Even though Mizell isn't in the starting group, he looks to be a mainstay in the rotation and have an elevated role this season.
* Marshall transfer running back Antwan Roberts, who has been effective in the passing game, had a 29-yard rush between the tackles that resulted in a touchdown. Roberts' versatility, patience and slitheriness are shades of former UA star running back Michael Wiley.
