- The Arizona football team is bowl-eligible for the time since 1998.
It’s Arizona’s first winning record this late in the year since Nov. 10, 2000.
The Wildcats haven’t pulled off a three-game winning streak since beating San Diego State, Idaho and Nevada-Las Vegas to open the 2001 season. In fact, they haven’t even surpassed that win total since 2002, when they won four.
The last time Arizona won three straight in conference play? That would be in 2000, when the Wildcats beat Stanford, USC and Washington State.
The win marked Arizona’s biggest margin of victory on the road since beating Oregon State 33-0 in Corvallis, Ore., Sept. 25, 1993. That squad ended up beating No. 10 Miami 29-0 in the Fiesta Bowl.
Running back Chris Henry has scored seven touchdowns in his last three games after scoring three touchdowns in his first 32.
Henry also rushed for a career-high 191 yards and scored a career-high three touchdowns, two rushing.
The win put Arizona (4-4 Pacific 10 Conference) in a tie for fourth in the conference and with a chance for a third-place tie if the Wildcats beat ASU and Oregon beats OSU.
The Wildcats are now 3-1 on the road in the Pac-10 this season, after compiling a 1-6 conference road record the past two seasons.
The Wildcats are averaging 29.3 point their past three games after putting up just 12.1 in their first eight.
Arizona won for its first time at Oregon’s Autzen Stadium since 1986, when the Wildcats won 41-17.
The Arizona win ended a seven-game losing streak to the Ducks that started in 1999.
