Sunday Hangover: Reaction, video, more after Wildcats defeat Utah Utes

November 23, 2014

Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez grins after Casey Skowron’s game-winning kick during Arizona’s 27-26 win against Washington on Nov. 15 at Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats won their ninth game of the season on Saturday, preserving the team’s Pac-12 title game hopes.

Amid near freezing and a rash of nicks and bruises, the Arizona football team defeated Utah 42-10 in impressive fashion.

The Wildcats forced four Utah turnovers, scoring 21 points off those giveaways, and got huge contributions from the rushing attack.

Leading that attack was Nick Wilson, who rushed for 218 yards and three touchdowns. In the process, Wilson became the first UA freshman and just the 11^th Wildcat to ever break the 1,000 yard rushing barrier in a season.

The win moved Arizona up to nine wins on the season, keeping the Wildcats alive in the Pac-12 title game race.
