Here are notes and takeaways from Arizona's 11th practice of the spring: 

* Arizona did a "Mortal Kombat" period, which is a one-on-one special teams drill for punt coverage. After the snap, one player blocks a rusher at the line of scrimmage, then after a whistle, both players sprint upfield and the rusher turns into a blocker. The Mortal Kombat theme song was played on a loop during the drill. 

* Arizona's defensive players have spent every practice working on different tackling drills with pads. Even though the Wildcats have only been in shells (helmets and shoulder pads), the Wildcats are finding creative — and safer — ways to work on tackling while keeping players healthy. 

* In a 7-on-7 red zone drill, Arizona safety Gavin Hunter had a pass breakup in coverage of wide receiver Giovanni Richardson, who later "Mossed" UConn transfer safety Lee Molette in the right corner of the end zone. Molette nearly had an interception, but Richardson jumped over Molette and ripped the ball away. The pass was thrown by quarterback Noah Fifita, who also threw a touchdown over the middle to wide receiver Tre Spivey. 

* Arizona redshirt junior cornerback Johno Price ripped away a pass in the end zone for an interception. In the same period, Colorado State transfer wide receiver Jordan Ross had a toe-tap touchdown in the back of the end zone. 

* Second-year running back Wesley Yarbrough caught a swing-screen pass for a 15-yard touchdown. 

* Kicker Michael Salgado-Medina missed his first field goal of spring, albeit it was a 61-yarder. Salgado-Medina made a 54-yard field goal and a 40-yarder.
