The Bear Down TraditionArizona’s most memorable athletic tradition is the slogan “Bear Down,” given to Wildcat teams by John “Button” Salmon, student body president and varsity athlete, shortly before he died in 1926 following an auto accident. Button Salmon’s last message to his teammates, spoken to J.F. “Pop” McKale, coach and athletic director, was, “Tell them... tell the team to bear down.” The rally cry predates “Win One for the Gipper” by two years.

“Tell them... tell the team to bear down.” — John Byrd “Button” Salmon, 1926 3

Some Game Themes: We head down the home stretch of the regular season with a clash of two top-20 Pac-12 South squads jockeying for positioning in the bowl pecking order … For the visitors, a slight chance remains to win the South Division, but along with needing to win their own games, the Wildcats must rely on additional outcomes … Push those con-cerns aside because Saturday’s showdown in Salt Lake City should be a good one … These two teams have played a ton of nail-biters and found ways to win more times than not … Arizona has twice won on the final play of the game in conference play, while six of Utah’s seven league tilts have been decided by six points or less … Utah’s formula for victory all season has been simple: protect the football, play stout defense and play excellent special teams. It’s the latter which will concern UA coaches the most. The Utes feature a premier punter (Tom Hackett), a proven kicker (Andy Phillips) and one of the nation’s most electri-fying returners (Kaelin Clay) … It’s harder to put a finger on Arizona’s method for success, but it can be summed up as “60 Minutes of Arizona” … The offenses are led by two con-trasting quarterbacks. Veteran Travis Wilson doesn’t throw for a ton of yards, but he doesn’t force plays. Arizona freshman Anu Solomon has thrown for twice as many yards and is willing to take shots to his bevy of receiving targets. Neither prefers to run the ball, but both can hurt you with their legs when lanes open up … Protecting each quarterback will be paramount to stay ahead of the chains as both teams have the ability to create pressure, though no one in the country has more sacks than Utah … Utes running back Devontae Booker is 1,000-yard rusher, and the Cats counter with a freshman Nick Wilson closing in on the benchmark … Defensively, two of the league’s outstanding playmakers will square off. Arizona sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright has turned in a breakout season, while Utah senior Nate Orchard is putting the finishing touchdowns on an impressive career … Utah has suffered some key injuries, and so too has Arizona. But each finds a way to perse-vere … The Wildcats enjoyed success on the road earlier this season and they would like to return to those winning ways in a hostile environment, which has seen the Utes drop two games this season … It will be cold – at least by Arizona standards – but expect the Wildcats to embrace the conditions. They seem to enjoy getting comfortable in uncomfortable sit-uations … It’s been a wild season of Pac-12 football, and these two teams have been front and center of that wackiness. So sit back and enjoy this one.

Last Week: Once again, it can all be summed up as “60 Minutes of Arizona”. The Wildcats were toast and the Huskies just needed to take a knee. Instead, Tra’Mayne Bondurant forced Deontae Cooper to fumble, and Derrick Turituri recovered the ball at the Washington 45-yardline with 1:23 remaining in the fourth. Seven plays and 15 yards later, Casey Skow-ron drilled a 47-yard field goal as time expired, propelling Arizona to a 27-26 victory over Washington … Skowron was the hero in more ways than one. He flipped momentum with an 18-yard touchdown scamper on a fake field goal (clean, direct snap from Jose Romero) when the Wildcats were trailing 17-7 in the late stages of the first half. A minute later, after a costly Husky turnover, Nick Wilson punched in an 8-yard touchdown run to give the home side a 21-17 lead at the break … But it was all Washington in the second half. After a field goal early in the third quarter, the Huskies took the lead on Dwight Washington’s second touchdown of the game and led 26-21 entering the fourth … Skowron, who accounted for 15 points in the game, kicked a 35-yard field goal early in the fourth to bring the Cats within two, which proved to be a critical margin … But things were bleak. A potential go-ahead scoring drive late in the fourth was thwarted when a miscommunication between Anu Solomon and Trey Griffey led to an interception in the endzone – the third turnover of the second half for the Wildcats’ offense … But the defense, despite surrendering 504 yards of offense and 25 first downs in the contest, answered the bell by forcing its third turnover of the game and setting up the game-winning kick in the final moments … Inter-estingly, it was the poor execution by Washington’s kicking game that made the winning kick possible. Cameron Van Winkle hit the upright on a field goal try in the first quarter, and an errant snap on an extra point saw another point lost on Washington’s (the running back) third-quarter touchdown … Washington sparked the Huskies with 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns, but interestingly the ball was not in his hands when trying to run out the clock late, even if a taking a knee could have been another option … Arizona’s Nick Wilson gained 104 yards rushing with two scores of his own to highlight Arizona’s offense attack which mustered only 375 yards of offense … It was the seventh-straight victory for the home team in the series.

Cats in the Polls: Arizona is ranked No. 15 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 Poll, the seventh-straight week the Wildcats have been ranked. After upsetting then-No. 2 Oregon in Eugene, Ore., on Oct. 2, Arizona vaulted from unranked to No. 10 the following week, marking the largest jump in the poll’s history since it expanded to 25 teams back in 1989. Since, Arizona has bounced around depending upon weekly results. The Wildcats are No. 13 in this week’s Amway USA Today Coaches’ Poll. Arizona has also been ranked in each of the first three College Football Playoff Committee Rankings, released each Tuesday. Here’s a look at UA’s rank by week in the AP Poll:

4 2014 Arizona Football • Game 11 at Utah

Last Year: Arizona started strong, faltered a bit in the third quarter, rallied back and even-tually held off a pesky Utah squad for a 35-24 victory at Arizona Stadium on Oct. 19, 2013. Junior running back Ka’Deem Carey set the tone with bookend highlights while setting a school record with 40 carries in a workhorse effort. Carey took his first touch of the game 30 yards and punctuated a 236-yard day with a 44-yard burst to paydirt for the final score with 90 seconds left that all but put the Utes away. Quarterback B.J. Denker complemented Carey with 51 markers and a pair of rushing touchdowns of his own, while he added 168 yards and a score without an interception in the passing game. The Arizona defense was up for a stern test and it didn’t back down against a Utah unit that averaged 470 yards of offense per game. The Wildcats held them to their lowest total of the season to date (329 yards), and by and large made the big plays when needed. Linebacker Marquis Flowers registered a 14-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter that helped hand the Wildcats a 20-7 halftime lead. The Utes appeared to gather some momentum when they scored 14 quick points in the third quarter to claim a one-point lead. Johnny Jackson muffed a punt at UA’s own 17-yard to aid a short-field score, then Utah backup quarterback Adam Schulz hit Sean Fitzgerald on a 55-yard flea-flicker on the first play of the next drive. The Utes looked to keep their foot on the gas pedal on their next possession, but on third-and-two from the UA 45-yardline, Sione Tuihalamaka stuffed Kelvin York for a four-yard loss to force a punt and send Uncle ‘Mo back to the Wildcats’ sideline for the fourth quarter. In the final frame, Denker found Nate Phillips on a switch route deep down the sideline for a 36-yard conversion on third-and-three. A few plays later, Denker connect-ed with Phillips again on third down, this time for a seven-yard touchdown to regain the lead and spark a 15-3 run for the Wildcats to end the game. The win delighted the Family Weekend crowd of 50,871 and marked Arizona’s 575th all-time victory.

Skowron Named Player of the Week: Casey Skowron drilled a 47-yard field goal as time expired, handing the Wildcats a thrilling come-from-behind victory, 27-26, over Washing-ton last Saturday at Arizona Stadium. It was an emphatic end to a sensational game for the junior who accounted for 15 of Arizona’s 27 points on the afternoon and, on Monday, was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week. Skowron converted three extra points, hit two field goals and scored his first-ever touchdown on a momentum-changing play in the second quarter. The Wildcats had surrendered 17 unanswered points and were trailing 17-7 when Skowron took a direct snap from long-snapper Jose Romero to race 18 yards into the corner of the end zone, turning a fake field goal into a touchdown. Skowron connected on a 35-yard field goal early in the fourth to bring the Wildcats within two points and set up the dramatic finish for the game-winning 47-yarder as time expired. His 98 total points scored this season lead all Pac-12 players.

Scooby Snacks: Here are some nuggets of note on Arizona sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright, who was not included on the list of semifinalists for the Butkus Award, but is a semifinalist for the Lombardi and Bednarik awards:

• In seven games against Pac-12 foes, Wright has totaled 84 tackles, 18.0 for loss, 10.0 sacks, five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

• He is the only FBS player to rank in the top 25 individually for each of these four categories (based on per game): tackles (117), tackles for loss (21.0), sacks (12.0) and forced fumbles (5).

• Wright leads the nation with 2.1 tackles for loss per game this season. He is third in sacks (1.20 per game) and fifth in tackles (11.7).

• Set his career single-game high with 3.0 sacks UCLA.• Wright’s 19 tackles at UCLA on Nov. 1 were the most for a UA player since LB Marcus Bell had 20

at ASU on Nov. 27, 1999. Earlier this year, Wright totaled 18 tackles against California on Sept. 20.• His 4.5 tackles for loss at UCLA match the most since Spencer Larsen had 4.5 at USC on Oct. 13,

2007.• Wright has at least 1.0 tackle for loss in all 10 games this season. He has a sack in eight of the 10

contests.• Wright, from Windsor, Calif., has 49 tackles, 11.5 for loss and 6.0 sacks in three games against

teams from his home state (California, USC and UCLA).• Wright’s 12.0 sacks currently are tied for fourth-most on the school’s all-time single-season list.• Wright’s 21.0 tackles for loss are fourth-most in Arizona single-season history.

60 Minutes of Arizona: With a thrilling last-second victory last weekend, Arizona again showed what “60 Minutes of Arizona” means. The Wildcats have a penchant for erasing deficits and pulling out close games under Rich Rodriguez. In fact, of Rodriguez’s 24 wins with the Wildcats, his squad has trailed at some point in 16 of those contests illustrating that the Wildcats are never going to stop fighting. The four most notable include double-digit deficits in wins against Oklahoma State (down 14-0, won 59-38 in 2012), USC (down 28-13, won 39-36 in 2012), Nevada (down 21-0, won 49-48 in 2012) and against California (down 28-6, won 49-45 on Sept. 20 this year). One of the constants in those games has been explo-sive fourth quarters. Since 2000, the Wildcats have scored 21 or more fourth-quarter points on seven total occasions and three of those occurrences have been in the aforementioned California (36 points), Nevada (21) and Oklahoma State (22) wins under Rodriguez. It truly is 60 minutes of Arizona.

Two Dozen: Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez has led the Wildcats to a record of 24-12 in his first 36 games at the school. That puts him a win shy of No. 25, and he would become the 10th coach in school history to reach the quarter-century benchmark when he does. Rodriguez has a chance to pick up win No. 25 in his third season, something rarely done in these parts. In fact, the only coach to win 25 games in his first three seasons was Jim Young, who led Arizona to a 26-7 mark over the 1973-75 campaigns. To Young’s credit, his squads played only 11 games in each of his three seasons, while current schedules include a 12-game regular season and Rodriguez has coached in two bowls. Young is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

Great Eight: With its eighth win in tow, Arizona has opened a season 8-2 to mark the best start to a season since a 9-1 record in the eventual 12-1 season of 1998. Starting (or finish-ing) a season 8-2 is something done only nine previous times in program history, including only three other times in the Pac-10/12 era. Along with 1998, the Wildcats opened 8-2 or better in the following seasons: 1993 (8-2), 1981 (8-2), 1975 (9-1), 1974 (8-2), 1973 (8-2), 1968 (8-2), 1961 (8-1-1 final record) and 1936 (8-2 final record). This year’s eight regular season wins are the most since 2009, when the Wildcats finished 8-4 before losing in the Holiday Bowl to Nebraska.

Cardiac Cats: Remember to breathe. It’s easy to forget watching some of Arizona’s games this season. The Wildcats have won five games by a touchdown or less this season, in-cluding at UTSA (26-23), home against Nevada (35-28), home against California (49-45), at Oregon (34-21) and home against Washington (27-26). Even Arizona’s two losses have been close – a combined 12 points – including a 28-26 loss to USC on Oct. 11 when the Wildcats missed a potential game-winning field goal in the final minute.

Get a Kick Out of This: Do you remember the last time Arizona hit a game-winning field when it was trailing? You have to go all the way back to Nov. 26, 1983, when Max Zendejas hit a 45-yarder to defeat Arizona State, 17-15, in Tempe, Ariz. That’s right, a kick like Casey Skowron’s 47-yarder to hand Arizona a 27-26 victory over Washington has not happened in more than three decades. The Wildcats have since won plenty of games on last-minute field goals, but all were to break ties – not overcome a deficit. Max’s nephew, Alex Zendejas, was the last UA kicker to win a game on a field goal. Alex hit a 32-yarder to defeat Arizona State, 20-17, on Nov. 28, 2009, in Tempe, Ariz.. Arizona’s last home victory on a last-minute field goal was made by Nick Folk, who drilled a 48-yarder to defeat BYU, 16-13, on Sept. 2, 2006.

Turning Points: Arizona’s defense has forced seven turnovers in the last two games, and it now has forced a turnover in seven-consecutive games. It’s been a trend under defen-sive coordinator Jeff Casteel, who arrived with Rich Rodriguez for the 2012 season. In the three seasons under Casteel, the Wildcats have forced a turnover in 33 of 36 games. More impressive, Arizona has forced multiple turnovers in 19 of those 36 contests, which has produced a 16-3 record.

A ‘Nu Era: Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon (pronounced: AH-new) is putting together an impressive rookie season. Here are some highlights…

• Leads all FBS freshmen in passing yards per game (305.8) and total offense per game (336.5).• Among all FBS quarterbacks, Solomon ranks No. 7 in total offense and No. 9 in passing yards per

game.• His 25 passing TD are second nationally among freshmen and No. 11 among all passers.• Has thrown five touchdown passes in a game twice this season (California and at WSU) to set a

UA freshman single-game record. He has thrown at least four touchdown passes in four games.• Became the first freshman in UA history to start a season opener.• Owns the UA freshman records for passing yards (3,052), passing touchdowns (25), pass at-

tempts (441) and pass completions (256).• Has thrown a touchdown pass in nine of 10 games this season.• Completes 55.8 percent of passes for 1,557 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions in the

first half of games. Numbers improve to 60.6 percent completions for 1,551 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interception s after halftime.

• Averages 28.0 yards per pass on 25 touchdowns this season.• Ranks No. 10 on UA’s all-time career passing touchdown chart. Currently fourth for single-season

passing touchdowns and three shy of tying record (28, held by Nick Foles and Willie Tuitama)

High Five: Arizona’s 5-2 record in conference play ensures the Wildcats finish with a win-ning Pac-12 record, something the school hasn’t done since 2009 when it finished 6-3. Additionally, Arizona’s 5-2 record in its first seven conference games is its best mark since it finished 7-1 in Pac-10 play during a 12-1 campaign in 1998. The Wildcats are seeking their sixth conference victory, something they have done only four times since joining the league in 1978.

Bend But Don’t Break: A look at the Pac-12 stats will show Arizona’s total defense ranks in the bottom half of the league (445.2 yards per game), but that doesn’t tell the whole story. The Wildcats defense, while it has yielded some yards, has been stingy allowing points, especially as of late. Over the last three games, opponents have scored only 21 points per game – an improvement of five points on the season average of 26.1. Going back further, the Cats have yielded more than 28 points just once over the last six games, and that came in a 59-37 win at Washington State in which Arizona was leading 52-17 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Skowron’s Redemption: Placekicker Casey Skowron made the most of his redemption op-portunity, kicking a 47-yard field goal as time expired to beat Washington, 27-26, last Satur-day at Arizona Stadium. The aftermath of Skowron’s failed game-winning attempt against USC last month is well-chronicled, and now are his heroics in an improbable victory. Skow-ron accounted for 15 of Arizona’s 27 points, converting three extra points, two field goals and even scored his first career touchdown on an 18-yard fake field goal. His field goals came at crucial times, first on a 35-yarder early in the fourth quarter to bring the Cats within two points and later with the game-winner as time expired. The final boot was Arizona’s first successful game-winning field in the final moments since Alex Zendejas converted a 32-yarder to defeat Arizona State, 20-17, on Nov. 28, 2009. Interestingly, Alex’s uncle, Max Zendejas, was the last UA kicker to drill a game-winner when the Wildcats were trailing at the time (meaning it didn’t break a tie, such as Alex’s against ASU). Max Zendejas hit a 45-yarder to upend the Sun Devils, 17-15, on Nov. 26, 1983. So yes, it had been some time since a UA kicker did what Skowron did against the Huskies.

Flag Day: Arizona football games are quite busy for the men in stripes who throw the yel-low flags. Between the Wildcats and their opponents, 162 penalties have been called this season. That 16.2 penalties per game clip is seventh-highest among all FBS schools when combining opponent penalties. Arizona’s opponents have been especially foul-prone, to-taling 99 penalties in just 10 games. That tally is already the third-highest for any season since the Wildcats joined the Pac-10/12 Conference for the 1978 season (school record for opponent penalties is 123 in 13 games during 2012 season). UA opponents are working on a noteworthy streak: they have been penalized 10 more times in seven-consecutive games. Further, opponents have accumulated 100-plus penalty yards in three-straight contests and four of the last five overall.

Wilson Willed His Way: Arizona’s offensive production wasn’t much to write about last week against Washington, but true freshman running back Nick Wilson deserves some praise. Wilson somehow turned his second-straight 100-yard rushing game (fifth of the season) with 104 markers on 30 carries, which tied his career high for attempts. He had little room to run, but plugged his way to 3.5 yards per carry – a clip that was notably better after mustering 1.6 yards per tote on seven tries in the first quarter. Wilson provided some spark to the offense, too, with a pair of rushing touchdowns. His eight-yard burst before halftime gave the Wildcats a much-needed 21-17 lead at halftime.

Closing in on 1,000 Yards: True freshman Nick Wilson, who missed the majority of several games earlier in the year due to injury, is nearing the 1,000-yard mark. Wilson has 867 yards on 160 attempts to go with nine rushing touchdowns this season. He is 133 yards away from the 1,000-yard barrier, something never reached by an Arizona freshman. In fact, rushing for 1,000 yards is a significant achievement at Arizona regardless of class rank. Only 10 Wildcats have ever rushed for 1,000 yards in a season, including Ka’Deem Carey who did so in each of the last two seasons. If Wilson were to get to 1,000 yards this year, it would be only the second time in program history the school has a 1,000-yard rush-er in three-consecutive seasons. Bob McCall (1972) and Jim Upchurch (1973-74) represent the 1,000-yard rushers on the 1972-74 squads to achieve the feat.

Solomon Goes Over 3,000 Yards: Redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon has passed for 3,052 yards this season, becoming the only freshman in program history to surpass 3,000 yards. In fact, it is only the seventh 3,000-yard passing season in school history, all of which have come since 2002. The last UA quarterback to pass for 3,000 yards Matt Scott, who tossed for 3,620 yards in his senior season under Rich Rodriguez in 2012. Wildcat quar-terbacks have thrown for 3,000 yards in four of the last five seasons.

Into the Record Books: Anu Solomon has set plenty of Arizona freshman records, but he’s already working his way into the record books for single-season marks and even a very significant career category shown below:

Category Stat Season Career Passing Yards 3,052 7th - Passing TD 25 4th 10th Pass attempts 441 4th -- Pass completions 256 7th --

Tra’Mayne Turns Them Over: Arizona safety/linebacker Tra’Mayne Bondurant has a knack for making plays and creating turnovers. That was on full display two weeks ago when he returned a fumble recovery 22 yards for a touchdown to wake up a slugging Wildcat squad in a victory over Colorado. The last week against Washington, Bondurant recovered a fumble to set up a score before halftime and forced a fumble to set up a game-winning field goal in the final 90 seconds of the contest. Bondurant has made those types of plays all throughout his career. The senior has eight career interceptions (returned three for TD), six forced fumbles (five have been recovered by UA) and two fumble recoveries. That adds up to 15 turnovers that Bondurant has been directly involved in, and he’s scored four career defensive touchdowns. All of that plus he has 228 total tackles, including 24.5 for loss, to go with 29 passes defended in 46 games.

QBs in a Hurry: Rich Rodriguez has revolutionized the way quarterbacks play at Arizona in just three seasons. With starters Matt Scott (2012), B.J. Denker (2013) and Anu Solomon (2014), plus some play from backups, Wildcat quarterbacks have a net gain of 1,952 rush-ing yards in the last three seasons. Compare that to the previous seasons – yes, from 1997 through 2011 – when Arizona quarterbacks had a net gain of 126 rushing yards combined. One hundred and twenty-six. On Nov. 8 against Colorado, Anu Solomon set a career high with 105 rushing yards. He joined Matt Scott and B.J. Denker (twice) as 100-yard rushing quarterbacks over the last three seasons. Previously, the last UA quarterback to rush for 100 yards in a game was Ortege Jenkins, who tallied 104 yards against UCLA way back on Oct. 28, 2000.

First Things First: One measure of offensive success is a team’s ability to move the chains consistently. The Wildcats are pretty good at that. Arizona is No. 2 among all FBS teams with 273 first downs this season, a swift 27.3 per game.. The 273 total first downs breaks down to 91 rushing, 141 passing and 41 by penalty. The Cats have gained 20 or more first downs in nine of 10 games this season, including 25 or more in seven contests (season high is 36 against California on Sept. 20).

Opening Strong: Arizona has opened haves in strong fashion this season, owning a 40-point scoring advantage in the first quarter a 31-point margin in the third quarter. The Wildcats have scored 85 points and surrendered only 45 in the first quarter this season, while coming out of halftime and outscoring foes 96-65. Arizona has been a good closing team, too, outscoring opponents 100-59 (+41) in the fourth quarter.

Turning Points: Arizona’s first six games of the season produced 17 total points off turn-overs – all in favor of the Wildcats. Last month at Washington State, Arizona cashed in two turnovers gained for 14 points, while it surrendered its first three points off turnovers of the season. After no turnover scoring the next week at UCLA, the Wildcats entered last the Nov. 8 Colorado with a 31-3 scoring edge in points off turnovers. Arizona forced the Buffa-loes into four turnovers and cashed each in for a touchdown – a decided 28-0 edge in the game. That improved UA’s season tally to 59-3 in points off turnovers. Last week against Washington, the Wildcats gave up nine points off turnovers, but still outscored the Huskies with 10 points off turnovers. For the season, Arizona outscores opponents 69-12 in points off turnovers.

In the Trenches: For all of Arizona’s youth on offense, the Wildcats do have some experi-ence along the offense led by fifth-year senior tackles Mickey Baucus and Fabbians Ebbele. The two bookends have combined for 98 starts, led by Baucus’ 49 which is a team-high at any position. Senior center Steven Gurrola (24 starts) and junior guard Cayman Bundage (22) add 46 more starts to the front-line experience. Lene Maiava (6) and Jacob Alsadek (7) have split time at the other guard spots this season, rounding out the offensive front that, in total, has 154 career starts to its credit. The experience has been necessary as injuries to Alasdek and Bundage have forced the Wildcats to shift personnel at times. Additionally, Baucus missed most of the UCLA game with an injury, but he returned to full strength against Colorado to keep his consecutive games started streak alive at 48.

Behind Enemy Lines: Led by Scooby Wright (national leader with 2.1 tackles for loss per game), Arizona’s defense is frequently finding itself in opposing backfields. On Nov. 1, UA’s 11.0 tackles for loss at UCLA were the most for the program since recording 13.0 at Wash-ington State on Oct. 15, 2010. For the year, the Cats have 68 tackles for loss, an average of 6.8 per game that is No. 31 nationally. In addition to Wright, others like Jared Tevis (8.0), Derrick Turituri (5.0), William Parks (6.5), Cody Ippolito (4.0) and Reggie Gilbert (4.5) have joined the party this season. For comparison’s sake, UA’s 68 tackles for loss in 10 games this season are more than the team had during all of the 12-game season in 2011 (55 TFL) before coordinator Jeff Casteel arrived with Rich Rodriguez. Here’s a look at the trends:

Year TFL Per Game 2011 55 4.58 2012 67 5.15 2013 77 5.92 2014 68 6.80

Dialing Up Pressure: Led by the relentless Scooby Wright (12.0 sacks), Arizona has been turning up the heat on opposing quarterbacks this season. The Wildcats have registered a sack in all 10 games this season, the longest such stretch since tallying a sack in the first nine contests of the 2009 season, which going back to the 2008 campaign, was part of a 21-game stretch of games with a sack. This year’s trend continues steady improvement for the unit in three seasons under coordinator Jeff Casteel, who hasn’t had the benefit of an elite pass rusher on the defensive front. Instead he’s had to be creative and rely on the hard edge mentality of his players. This year the force has come from Scooby Wright (12.0 sacks), Reggie Gilbert (3.0 sacks), Jared Tevis (3.0) and Derrick Turituri (3.0 sacks), who account for 21 of the team’s 27 sacks to date. It averages out to 2.70 sacks per game, which is ahead of the 2.54 clip turned in by the 2010 unit that was led all-conference defensive ends Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore as a recent standard of success. Here’s a look at the trends since:

Year Sacks Per Game 2011 10 0.83 2012 16 1.23 2013 24 1.85 2014 27 2.70

Negating the Negatives: For all the big plays produced by the Arizona offense, don’t over-look some of the smaller plays. Led by an experienced offensive line, which has had to juggle some personnel to combat injuries, the Wildcats have surrendered few negative plays this season. In fact, Arizona has been tackled for a loss only 4.60 times per game this year, which is fewest in the Pac-12 and a top-20 figure nationally. Running backs account for only 22 negative rushing yards on some 284 rushing attempts. Otherwise, quarterback Anu Solomon, who has gained 447 rushing yards, has also lost 140 – mostly on sacks.

Ground Control: Arizona doesn’t have a stifling run defense, but you could say it is doing a solid job of controlling rushing attacks. Through 10 games, the Wildcats are giving up 158.8 rushing yards per game, a figure that ranks in the middle of the Pac-12. But a stat that stands out is that opponents are gaining only 3.9 yards per rush play, just under the 4.0 mark that is a notable benchmark. Arizona has not had a season figure under 4.0 since 2010, so maintaining that pace will be something to watch going forward. As it relates to current affairs, the Cats have held two of their last four opponents under 100 rushing yards – something it was unable to do in 18-consecutive games prior to a win at Washington State on Oct. 25. Then on Nov. 8, Arizona limited the Buffaloes to 2.6 yards per carry, the lowest figure allowed by the Cats since a win over UCLA in 2011.

Bowl Bound: By picking up their seventh win of the season on Nov. 8, the Wildcats secured a winning season and are bowl eligible for the third-straight season under Rich Rodriguez. Arizona has appeared in five bowl games over the last six seasons, and going to a sixth in seven seasons would be the first time the school has ever done so during such a time frame. Rodriguez led the Cats to a 49-48 victory over Nevada in the 2012 Gildan New Mexi-co Bowl and a 42-19 win over Boston College in last year’s AdvoCare V100 Bowl.

Austin Ascending the Charts: Senior wide receiver Austin Hill is moving up the list on several Arizona receiving charts. In his career, Hill has 137 receptions for 2,155 yards and 17 touchdowns. The 137 catches supplants Jon Horton (1983-86) at No. 7 (136 receptions) and trails David Douglas (151 receptions, 2008-11) for No. 6. From the yardage standpoint, Hill currently sits at No. 7 for Wildcat receivers ahead of Dice (1,957) with a ways to go to catch Jon Horton (2,415 from 1983-86) for sixth place. In terms of receiving touchdowns, Hill moved ahead Horton and Rob Gronkowski (2007-08) to tie Richard Dice’s mark of 17 for seventh place. Hill has a pass reception in 27-consecutive games he has played (missed the 2013 season due to injury).

Scooby Strips: Linebacker Scooby Wright, a Sports Illustrated midseason All-American, forced three fumbles at Washington State on Oct. 25, a mark that could well be a school record but is unknown. What is known is that Wright now has five forced fumbles this sea-son, which effectively ties the school single-season record. The stat has been tracked in UA record books dating to 1973 and since then only Ricky Hunley (1983) and Chris Singleton (1988) have forced five fumbles in a season. Wright’s three strips at WSU is tied with three other FBS players this season for most in a game, a tally that is one shy of the FBS single game record held by Nordly Capi (New Mexico vs. Colorado State in 2011). Wright is tied with five other players for the most forced fumbles this season in FBS.

Tevis a Tucson Talent: One overlooked star of the Arizona defense is senior safety Jared Te-vis. A former walk-on from Canyon del Oro High School in Tucson, Tevis is known as one of the hardest hitters in the country despite his smaller stature (5-foot-11, 202 pounds). In 10 games this season, Tevis is second on the squad with 94 tackles, an 9.4 stops per game clip that puts him third in the Pac-12. In his career, Tevis has started 32 games and racked up 265 tackles, along with nine forced fumbles and three interceptions. He’s been named a semifi-nalist for the 2014 William V. Campbell Trophy, College Football’s Premiere Scholar-Athlete Award. A former walk-on and Tucson native, Tevis earned his undergraduate degree in fi-nance in May 2014 with a cumulative GPA of 3.28. He started graduate classes in business at Arizona’s esteemed Eller College of Management this fall. He’s a two-time Pac-12 All-Ac-ademic First-Team honoree with the potential to earn a third award during the 2014 season, and is a member of the Lott IMPACT Trophy and Bednarik Award Watch Lists this season.

Tevis Shines: Senior safety Jared Tevis has turned in a phenomenal four-game stretch of play. The Tucson, Ariz., native recorded a game-high 13 tackles, including a career-high 3.5 tackles for loss against Washington State (Oct. 25), then followed it up with 10 more tack-les against UCLA (Nov. 1). Two weeks against Colorado, he tallied six tackles, including a sack, to go with a forced fumble, then tallied 14 tackles (1.5 TFL), a sack and a forced fum-ble against Washington. His last three games have added up to 43 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. That production is getting lost – for good reason – behind Scooby Wright’s sensational season, but don’t overlook Tevis’ contributions. In 10games, Tevis is second on the squad with 94 tackles, including 8.0 for loss.

Spread the Wealth: Quarterback Anu Solomon has a wealth of options in the passing game and to his credit he uses as many as he can. at Washington State on Oct. 25, Solomon completed a pass to 10 receivers, including a touchdown to five separate targets. On the season, he has completed a pass to 13 players, including once to himself, with 10 Wildcats hauling in a receiving touchdown. Cayleb Jones (58-788, 8 TD) and Austin Hill (35-480, 4 TD) are the go-to guys, but 10 players have at least 10 catches this season. Along with Jones and Hill, sophomores Samajie Grant (32-466, 3 TD), Nate Phillips (25-272, 2 TD), DaVonte’ Neal (23-196, 2 TD) and Trey Griffey (22-275, 1 TD) have 20 grabs, as does junior David Rich-ards (21-174, TD). Arizona is one of three schools nationally with seven players who have 20 or more catches this season.

The Bullish Eighties: Arizona has produced four all-purpose plays of 80-plus yards this sea-son (two passing, one rushing, one punt return). It’s an eye-popping number considering the Cats had three combined 80-yard plays over the last three seasons and have not had four such plays in a single campaign since 2009. This year’s big plays have come on Aus-tin Hill’s 92-yard receiving touchdown, Cayleb Jones’ 85-yard receiving touchdown, Nick Wilson’s 85-yard rushing touchdown and DaVonte’ Neal’s 81-yard punt return touchdown.

Staff Continuity: In Year 3, Rich Rodriguez welcomed back his entire assistant coaching staff from last season. The staff continuity is a tangible sign that Rodriguez is building a solid foundation for the Arizona football program. In fact, Arizona has not had a season of full staff retention since 1999 when Dick Tomey and Co. returned following one of the most successful seasons in school history – a 12-1 record capped with a Holiday Bowl victory over Nebraska in 1998. Since, John Mackovic saw turnover in each of his three seasons at the helm from 2001-03, and Mike Stoops replaced at least one assistant coach in all eight of his seasons in Tucson.

UpNext:Arizona will close the regular season by hosting Arizona State for the annual Territorial Cup – recognized by the NCAA as the nation’s oldest rivalry trophy game – at Ar-izona Stadium on Friday, Nov. 28. Kickoff has been set for 1:30 p.m. (MST) with a national television broadcast on FOX.

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Ka’Deem Carey rushed for 232 yards in a school record 39 carries, capping off his night with a 44-yard touch-down run with 1:30 to play to seal Arizona’s 35-24 victory over Utah Saturday.

B.J. Denker ran for two touchdowns and passed for another for the Wildcats (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) in their first conference victory of the season.

Utah (4-3, 1-3), coming off its stunning upset of then-No. 5 Stanford, lost quarterback Travis Wilson with an injury to his right hand late in the first half.

Backup Adam Schulz threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Sean Fitzgerald to put Utah up 21-20 early in the third quarter after Arizona led 20-7 at the half.

Carey, the nation’s leading rusher last season, amassed the second-most yardage in his career, exceeded only by his Pac-12 record 366 against Colorado last season.

Moments before his late TD run, Carey had fumbled for the first time this season, giving Utah, down just 28-24, the ball at the Arizo-na 39. But the Utes stalled at the 23 and Andy Phillips’ 40-yard field goal was wide left. Phillips, 11 for 11 on field goals this season entering the game, also missed a 42-yarder. He made one from 44 yards.

After the miss, Carey took the ball repeatedly as the Wildcats moved downfield, then burst through for the long run that clinched the victory.

Down 20-7 at halftime, Utah scored 14 points in a span of 91 seconds to take the lead.

Arizona’s Johnny Jackson muffed a punt and the Utes’ Chase Dominguez recovered at the Wildcats’ 17. Schulz threw 16 yards to Dres Anderson, then Kelvin York scored on a one-yard run to cut the lead to 20-14.

After the kickoff, the Wildcats drove the ball to midfield, then went for it on fourth-and-two from the Utah 46, and Carey was stopped a yard shy of the first down. On the next play, Schulz threw deep to a wide open Fitzgerald for a 55-yard touchdown and the PAT put the Utes up 21-20 with 9:08 left in the third quarter. It was Utah’s first and only lead of the game.

Arizona went back ahead early in the fourth quarter. Nate Phillips made a tough catch of Denker’s 36-yard pass to the 9-yard line. On third-and-goal from the 7, Denker rolled to his left and drilled a pass to Phillips in the end zone. Denker ran for the two-point conversion and the Wildcats were back on top, 28-21, with 13:32 remaining.

Phillips’ 44-yard field goal cut it to 28-24 with 7:11 left.

Carey started his night much the way he ended it.

On Arizona’s first play of the night, the junior running back burst through for a 30-yard gain. Seven plays later, Denker scored on a 10-yard run and the Wildcats were up 7-0.

The Utes took the subsequent kickoff and tied it with an eight-play, 71-yard drive. Luckey Radley had runs of 17 and 37 yards and, on third and goal, Wilson threw two yards to Nate Orchard for the touchdown to tie it at 7-7.

Arizona responded with a 17-play drive but on fourth-and-one at the Utah 2-yard line, Denker was sacked by Trevor Reilly.

That only temporarily derailed the Wildcats.

With Utah pinned at its 10 in a third-and-nine situation, Wilson’s pass over the middle was picked off by Marquis Flowers, who ran untouched 14 yards to the end zone and Arizona led 14-7 less than a minute into the second quarter.

Carey’s running and Denker’s passing led Arizona on a 13-play, 72-yard touchdown drive later in the quarter. Denker scored from the 1-yard line, the PAT attempt was blocked and the Wildcats were up 20-7.

Wilson left late in the first half and was on the sidelines in the second half with the thumb on his throwing hand taped.

Schulz had thrown only five passes this season before Saturday night.

Milestone Wins

Rich Rodriguez enters his third season as head coach of the Arizona football program. He was introduced as Arizona’s 30th head coach on Nov. 22, 2011.

Rodriguez carries a career record of 144-96-2 in 21 seasons, marked by Division I records of 60-26 at West Virginia, 15-22 at Michigan and 24-12 with the Wildcats. He is the first coach in Arizona history to lead the program to bowl games in his first two seasons at the helm.

In Rodriguez’s second season, the Wildcats post-ed an 8-5 record with a bowl victory over the Bos-ton College Eagles in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La. Arizona also knocked off a top-10 ranked team for the second-straight season with a 42-16 win over No. 5 Oregon on Nov. 23.

Running back Ka’Deem Carey earned consensus All-America honors for the second-straight sea-son, was named the 2013 Pac-12 offensive Player of the Year and a Doak Walker Award finalist. He ended his three seasons in Tucson as Arizona’s all-time career rushing leader (4,239 yards) and all-time all-purpose yardage leader (5,483).

Senior B.J. Denker threw for 2,516 yards, com-pleting 233 of 381 attempts with just seven inter-ceptions, and connected on 16 scores to eight dif-ferent receivers. Showing his versatility, Denker also rushed for 949 yards on 181 attempts with 13 scores.

The 2012 season proved successful for Arizona in Rodriguez’s spread-offense, no-huddle system. The Cats beat No. 10 USC, 39-36, on Oct. 27 en route to an 8-5 season and a win over Nevada in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Carey led the na-tion in total rushing yards (1,929) and yards per game (148.38) while rewriting the Arizona record book. For his efforts, Carey was named first-team All-Pac-12 and a consensus All-American, UA’s first on the offensive side of the ball.

Rodriguez inherited a fifth-year senior in quarter-back Matt Scott who was perfectly suited to run the Wildcat offense. With Scott as signal caller, Arizona was 7-5 as he orchestrated come-from-behind wins against No. 10 USC and Nevada in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Earning sec-ond-team All-Pac-12 honors, Scott led the confer-ence in yards per game with 301.7 and ranked No. 2 in the league in total yardage.

Austin Hill totaled 81 catches for 1,364 yards and 11 touchdowns to lead the Wildcat receivers in 2012. He was named a Biletnikoff Award semifi-nalist, second-team All-Pac-12 and fourth-team All-America by Phil Steele.

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Anu Solomon threw for 425 yards and four touchdowns in his first career start, and Arizona broke a 45-year-old school record with 787 total yards in a season-opening 58-13 rout over Nevada-Las Vegas Friday night.

Solomon shook off some early-game jitters with a series of big plays to break the school freshman record for pass-ing yards, highlighted by a 92-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hill on the first play of the second half.

Terris Jones-Grigsby laid the groundwork, running for 124 yards and a touchdown in Arizona’s first game in three years without two-time All-American Ka’Deem Carey. Freshman Nick Wilson added an 85-yard touchdown run to help the Wildcats break the school record of 691 total yards, set against New Mexico in 1969.

UNLV failed to capitalize on a few early offensive opportunities and had no chance once Arizona got rolling for its second straight lopsided loss to the Wildcats.

Blake Decker threw for 252 yards and a touchdown in his debut for the Rebels, who lost to Arizona by the same score last season in Las Vegas.

Solomon spent his freshman season learning Arizona’s system while redshirting behind B.J. Denker, then emerged from a four-way battle to start this season’s opener.

Coach Rich Rodriguez said Solomon wouldn’t have to worry about looking over his shoulder if he makes a mis-take, but added the other quarterbacks would likely play this season, if not Friday.

Solomon, who’s from Las Vegas, had a bit of trouble with his touch early, overthrowing a couple of long passes, including one to Samajie Grant that would have been a touchdown.

He finally dialed one late in the first quarter, dropping in a pass behind coverage for a 39-yard touchdown to Nate Phillips.

Solomon kept the big plays rolling after that, squeezing a ball in front of coverage to Grant, who turned it into a 63-yard touchdown pass. Solomon added a 13-yard scoring pass to Davonte’ Neal that put Arizona up 24-6 at halftime.

Solomon opened the second half with the 92-yard catch-and-run TD to Hill and Jones-Grigsby was rewarded for his hard work with a 2-yard touchdown run that made it 38-13.

Solomon finished 25 of 44 and completed passes to 10 different players. Hill (110) and Grant (101) each went over 100 yards receiving.

Like Solomon, Decker won a close quarterback battle, edging out junior Nick Sherry after transferring from Scott-sdale Community College.

Decker was able to gouge out a few big chunks in the first half, including a 52-yard pass to Devonte Boyd and a 49-yard run. The Rebels couldn’t capitalize on the good field position, settling for a pair of field goals and a 43-yarder that Jonathan Leiva missed at the horn.

Decker hit Anthony Williams on a 2-yard score early in the third quarter, but it was too late; Arizona was well on its way to another blowout.

» Quarterback Anu Solomon became the first freshman (true or redshirt) to ever start a season opener for the Wildcats. He was also the first freshman to start at quarterback for a UA team since Willie Tuitama did so in the final four games of the 2005 season. Additionally, an upperclassman had started 51-consecutive games at quarterback before tonight.

» Arizona improved to 9-0 under Rodriguez in non-conference games.

» The Wildcats are 10-0 under Rodriguez when winning the turnover battle.

» UA improved to 16-1 all-time when playing at home on Labor Day Weekend.

Arizona Notebook

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Nick Wilson is off to a fast start for the Arizona Wildcats.

The freshman ran for 174 yards on 30 carries, and his go-ahead touchdown changed the momentum in Arizona’s 26-23 victory over Texas-San Antonio on Thursday night.

Wilson gave Arizona a 20-16 lead with a 2-yard run with 26 seconds left in the first half.

Cayleb Jones had an 85-yard scoring reception for Arizona on the first play from scrimmage, and redshirt fresh-man Anu Solomon was 17 of 32 for 231 yards after throwing for 425 yards and four touchdowns against UNLV.

UTSA coach Larry Coker, who started the school’s program in 2011 after his national-title stint at Miami, thought Arizona’s touchdown at the end of the half changed the game.

Casey Skowron made four field goals, converting from 44 and 28 yards in the third quarter to make it 26-16.

The Roadrunners, coming off a 20-point victory in their opener at Houston, pulled within three on David Glasco II’s 3-yard run midway through the fourth quarter.

Arizona intercepted two of Tucker Carter’s passes in the final 1 1/2 minutes to seal the game, though the final pick off was nullified by a penalty.

The Wildcats had 452 yards of offense after setting a school record with 787 yards against UNLV

It looked as if it would be another blowout shortly after the opening kickoff. On the next play, Solomon flared a conservative sideline pass at Jones close to Arizona’s 30. Jones eluded a tackle and scored on the 85-yarder 18 seconds into the game.

Jones was back in his home state after sitting out last season following his transfer from Texas. In Austin, he re-ceived a two-year probated sentence for misdemeanor assault for punching a Longhorns tennis player in 2013.

Jones caught four passes for 143 yards. He caught two passes in 10 games for Texas.

Arizona scored on the next possession as well after holding UTSA to three plays and a punt. The Wildcats got inside the 20 before Solomon was sacked by defensive tackle Ferrington Macon, which brought out Skowron for a 38-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead less than 5 minutes into the game.

UTSA responded by going 85 yards for a touchdowns, using 11 plays and 5 minutes off the clock just before the end of the first quarter. Carter, who ran twice during the drive for 28 yards, got the Roadrunners on the board with a 10-yard scoring completion to tight end David Morgan II.

Carter finished with 228 yards and a TD on 22-of-33 passing.

After giving up Skowron’s 23-yard field goal, the Roadrunners took a 14-13 lead on Kam Jones’ 18-yard run.

It went to 16-13 with 4:43 before halftime when the spread-offense deep snap was high to Solomon, who scooped up the loose ball in his own end zone and was chased out of the end zone for a safety.

» Solomon is the first quarterback in school history to account for multiple passing plays of 85-plus yards.

» Cayleb Jones secured a 100-yard receiving game in the first quarter. He became the third Wildcat (Austin Hill and Samajie Grant last week) to collect a 100-yard receiving game this season. Jones finished the game with 143 yards on four receptions, all of which game in the opening half.

» Freshman running Nick Wilson earned his first career start and topped 100 rushing yards for the second consecutive game. He finished with 30 carried for 174 yards and a touchdown. The yardage is fourth-most in single-game history for a Wildcat freshman, while the 30 totes matched Nic Grigsby for the most rush attempts for a freshman (2007 vs. Washington State).

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Anu Solomon threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns, Nick Wilson ran for 171 yards and Arizona held off Nevada 35-28 Saturday night.

Arizona (3-0) came into the game with the nation’s fifth-best offense and had another big night against the Wolfpack, rolling up 507 yards.

Wilson ran for a pair of touchdowns and gave Arizona a 100-yard rusher for the 20th straight game, tied for longest in the FBS since 1996. Solomon finished 22-of-26 passing and threw two second-half touchdown passes to Cayleb Jones, who had nine catches for 116 yards.

Cody Fajardo kept Nevada (2-1) in it, throwing for 321 yards and three touchdowns, but the Wolfpack turned the ball over on downs their last drive.

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said after the 2012 New Mexico Bowl that he hoped to never face Fajardo again. The Wolf-pack quarterback lit up the Wildcats in that game, throwing for 256 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 140 and another score.

Fajardo, on the other hand, was looking forward to facing Arizona again. Despite having what may have been the best game of his career in the bowl game, Nevada lost the game 49-48 after the Wildcats scored two touchdowns in the final minute.

Fajardo had some success against Arizona early as the Wolfpack picked their way down the field.

Nevada held the ball for the game’s opening 9:33 and had another scoring drive that lasted 6:08.

The problem for the Wolfpack was how both ended: in field goals.

Thirty-two plays, 141 yards and more than 15 minutes resulting in just six points -- a dangerous game against an explosive offense like Arizona’s.

The Wildcats needed just 1:50 to score their first touchdown, a 2-yard run by Wilson. The freshman scored the next one, too, bursting off left tackle for a 28-yard score.

Solomon, who threw an ill-advised interception early in the second quarter, showed off his athletic ability just before halftime, rolling to the left and throwing off his back foot to hit Tyrell Johnson perfectly in stride for a 35-yard touchdown.

Fajardo finally got the Wolfpack into the endzone after that, orchestrating a quick 75-yard drive capped by his 7-yard touch-down pass to Jarred Gipson that cut Arizona’s halftime lead to 21-13.

The confidence of seeing six points go up on the board instead of three carried over into the third quarter, when Fajardo opened with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Hasaan Henderson.

Arizona had an answer. Two, in fact.

Solomon threw another touchdown on the run, this one going the other way, this one a 22-yarder to Jones. The Solo-mon-Jones connection worked again on the first play of the fourth quarter, a 24-yarder that put the Wildcats up 35-21.

Nevada and Fajardo still weren’t done.

He found Jarred Gipson on a 6-yard touchdown pass that cut Arizona’s lead to 35-28 and the Wolfpack got the ball back at their own 17-yard line with 3:04 left.

Fajardo took Nevada to near midfield, but his fourth-down attempt was just out of Jericho Richardson’s reach.

» Arizona won its 12th-straight non-confer-ence game dating to the 2011 season. That string is a new school record since UA first established any conference affiliation in 1931 (Border Conference).

» Head Coach Rich Rodriguez and the Wild-cats have opened the year 3-0 for the third-straight season. The last UA coach to lead the program to consecutive 3-0 starts in the first three years of a tenure was Jim Young (1973-75).

» For the fourth-straight game, Arizona pro-duced a 100-yard rusher (Nick Wilson, 29-171) and a 100-yard receiver (Cayleb Jones, 9-116).

» Solomon saw his streak of 83-consecutive passes without an interception come to an end. It was the first thrown interception of his career and first turnover of the season for Arizona.

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Anu Solomon hit Austin Hill on a 47-yard Hail Mary on the game’s final play and Arizona scored 36 points in the fourth quarter to pull off an improbable 49-45 win over California Saturday night.

Cal (2-1, 0-1 Pac-12) threatened to turn Arizona’s whiteout into a blowout, deflating the Wildcats and their white-shirt-wearing fans with two quick scores and a 22-point halftime lead.

Arizona (4-0, 1-0) charged back behind Solomon, who threw for 520 yards and had four of his five touch-down passes in the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats recovered an onside kick after Cal was called for a batting penalty and pulled within 2 after Solomon hit Cayleb Jones on a 15-yard scoring pass.

Arizona got the ball back with less than a minute left and pulled off the miracle when Hill, a senior who missed last season with a torn ACL, brought the ball down between five Cal defenders.

Solomon shook off a pair of first half interceptions to complete 47 of 73 passes, both school records. Jones caught 13 passes for 186 yards.

Arizona finished with 627 total yards and Cal had 573.

Behind Jared Goff, who threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns, Cal led 31-16 heading into the fourth quarter.

That’s when Arizona kicked its high-octane offense in gear, marching for one score after another.

Solomon hit Hill on a 9-yard touchdown pass, then Jones on a 16-yarder after Khalfani Muhammad scored on a 50-yard touchdown run. Muhammad scored again on a 6-yard run to put Cal seemingly in good posi-tion, up 45-30 with just over 5 minutes left.

But the Wildcats kept coming.

Arizona marched for a 6-yard touchdown run by Terris Jones-Grigsby then recovered a second try at an onside kick after Cal’s batting penalty. Jones, who had 13 catches for 186 yards, pulled down a 15-yard pass from Solomon with 2:44 left, but the Wildcats’ 2-point try failed.

With a chance to put the game away, Cal couldn’t finish it off. James Langford hooked a 47-yard field goal left, turning the ball over to Arizona at its own 29-yard line with 52 seconds left.

Solomon completed a couple of short passes before finding Hill on a 20-yard pass that moved the chains and briefly stopped the clock. Arizona raced to the line and Solomon spiked the ball to set up the final shot at the end zone.

Hill came down with it, sending the Wildcats streaming from their sideline and the Bears collapsing to the turf.

» Arizona overcame a 22-point halftime deficit (28-6) to win 49-45. It is the largest deficit overcome to win a game in school history, topping three previous occasions of 21-point deficits.

» Previously, the largest deficit overcome to win a Pac-10/12 conference game was 18 points. That happened to be against California on Sept. 27, 1980, when the Wildcats erased a 21-3 third-quarter deficit to win 31-24 in Berke-ley.

» Arizona’s 36 fourth-quarter points are the most in any quarter in program history.The previous mark was 35 points in the second quarter of an eventual 70-0 rout of Idaho in 2008.

» Quarterback Anu Solomon set a school sin-gle-game record with 520 passing yards. His totals for completions (47) and completions (73) also established new single-game highs for the program, while his five touchdown tosses tied three other quarterbacks for sec-ond-most in a game behindTomTunnicliffe’s record of six (vs. Pacific, 1982).

Arizona Notebook

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- The look on Marcus Mariota’s face was unmistakable: He was stunned.

Oregon’s star quarterback lingered on the field late Thursday night following his team’s 31-24 loss to Arizona, shaking hands with the Wildcats after they upset the heavily favored Ducks for the second consecutive season.

Later, he shouldered the blame for a loss that left No. 2 Oregon with a tough hill to climb if it wants an invite to college football’s first postseason playoff. And he credited the unranked Wildcats, who were 24-point underdogs.

Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost told reporters after the game that Mariota was not 100 percent after he was sacked seven times in the Ducks’ 38-31 victory at Washington State in their previous game Sept. 20.

True freshman Nick Wilson ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass from quarterback Anu Solomon to help the Wildcats (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) open the season with five straight victories for the first time since 1998.

Terris Jones-Grigsby plowed into the end zone from a yard out for the tiebreaking touchdown with 2:54 left, and Arizona held on after sacking Mariota and recovering his fumble..

With his team trailing 24-14 going into the final quarter, Oregon’s Matt Wogan made a 21-yard field goal. Mariota then hit Keanon Lowe with a 9-yard scoring pass to tie it with 8:21 left.

With Arizona driving downfield, the Ducks (4-1, 1-1) sacked Solomon on third-and-8, but Tony Washington was called for unsportsmanlike conduct to give the Wildcats a first down.

A pass interference call got Arizona closer for Jones-Grigsby’s go-ahead touchdown. And on Oregon’s ensuing series, Mariota was sacked by Scooby Wright, who stripped the ball from the Heisman Trophy hopeful and recovered it himself.

Arizona then gained a clinching first down on the ground and ran out the clock, silencing Autzen Stadium’s 100th straight sellout crowd.

Mariota, who hugged Rodriguez after the game, threw for 181 yards and a touchdown. The quarterback also caught a TD pass but was sacked three times and turned the ball over for the first time all season.

Last November, the No. 5 Ducks lost to Arizona 42-16 in Tucson, dashing any hopes Oregon had of winning a national championship. The blow-out victory was Arizona’s first over a top-five team since knocking off No. 2 Oregon in 2007.

This time around, Solomon, a redshirt freshman, threw for 287 yards and a touchdown for Arizona.

The Ducks appeared to still be struggling with their unstable offensive line, with Tyler Johnstone, Andre Yruretagoyena and Jake Fisher all out with injuries. True freshman Tyrell Crosby and former walk-on Matt Pierson started for the second game at tackle.

Oregon got creative to start the second quarter with Mariota handing off to freshman running back Royce Freeman, who lobbed the ball back to Mariota for a 28-yard touchdown. After a review for what appeared to possibly be a fumble at the goal line, the TD stood to put the Ducks up 7-3.

The Ducks weren’t the only ones making unusual plays. Solomon threw a 21-yard pass to himself -- helped by a carom off Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner. The Wildcats made it to the red zone, but Jones-Grigsby fumbled and the Ducks recovered on their own 10.

Arizona opened the second half with a six-play, 80-yard drive capped by Wilson’s 3-yard touchdown run to go up 10-7.

Oregon answered with its own scoring drive -- helped along by a taunting call on Arizona that gave the Ducks a crucial first down -- that ended when Mariota hit Devon Allen with a 6-yard pass to make it 14-10.

Wilson added a 2-yard scoring run to give the Wildcats back the lead. Before the third quarter was over, he added a 28-yard TD catch from Solomon to give Arizona a 24-14 advantage going into the final quarter.

The Ducks were hurt when starting defensive end Arik Armstead left the game midway through the second quarter with what appeared to be a left foot injury. Armstead was slow to get up on a third-down play and later retreated to the locker room with team trainers.

Mariota threw for 329 yards and five touchdowns against Washington State but couldn’t duplicate that performance.

Arizona also had a bye week after a dramatic, come-from-behind 49-45 victory over California, won when Solomon hit Austin Hill on a 47-yard Hail Mary on the game’s final play.

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Southern California faced the prospect of a second straight stinging defeat, watching as another opponent moved into position for a gut-wrenching score.

No Hail Mary this time, just a wide right -- and a big sigh of relief for the Trojans.

Javorius Allen ran for 205 yards and three touchdowns, and USC escaped with a 28-26 victory over No. 10 Arizona on Saturday night when Casey Skowron pushed a last-second 36-yard field goal wide right.

USC (4-2, 3-1 Pac-12) left the Coliseum defeated and deflated a week ago after losing to Arizona State on a Hail Mary.

The Trojans were headed toward another disheartening loss after Jared Baker scored on a 1-yard with 1:07 left and Caleb Jones recovered the onside kick following a failed 2-point conversion try.

With the crowd roaring for another improbable victory by Arizona, the Wildcats came up short when Skowron missed his third field goal of the night with 17 seconds left.

A seven-day emotional roller coaster over, the Trojans now find themselves atop the jumbled Pac-12 South.

Arizona (5-1, 2-1) struggled with red zone issues in the first half and didn’t have much of a run game with leading rusher Nick Wilson out and Terris Jones-Grigsby going down late in the first half. But, like they had so many times, the Wildcats came roaring back.

Baker scored all three of his touchdowns in the second half, and Anu Solomon had another big night, throwing for 395 yards and a touchdown on 43-of-72 passing.

The Wildcats put themselves in position to tie after Baker’s 1-yard run, but he was stuffed by Williams on the 2-point try.

They had a chance to win after Jones recovered the onside kick, but Skowron couldn’t come through. No last-second jubilation this time, only disappointment for what could have been.

It has been an emotional couple of weeks for Arizona as well. The Wildcats rallied to beat California on a Hail Mary on Sept. 20 and knocked off then-No. 2 Oregon on the road last week.

The win over the Ducks vaulted the Wildcats from out of The Associated Press poll to No. 10 this week, the largest jump since the poll went to 25 teams in 1989.

Arizona’s task was to avoid a letdown against the Trojans, who rode into the desert with a different set of emotions after Arizona State’s Hail Mary. Oddsmakers predicated a Wildcats hangover, installing them as 2 1/2-point underdogs despite their being undefeated and playing at home.

The Trojans played like favorites from the start, moving the ball successfully against an Arizona defense that contained the Ducks a week ago, particularly when they gave the ball to Allen.

The junior running back turned an inside handoff into a 34-yard touchdown run by bouncing it outside in the first quarter, then burst through a hole for a 48-yard score in the second.

Gaining yards was not a problem for Arizona. Scoring touchdowns was. The Wildcats crossed USC’s 20 four times in the first half and came away with six points.

Skowron made two field goals, missed one and had another blocked. Arizona also lost a fumble late in the half, when Williams crushed Jones-Grigsby at the 7-yard line to pop the ball loose.

USC led 14-6 at halftime in a game that was more defensive than anticipated. Once the second half started, so did the offensive fireworks.

Cody Kessler found Nelson Agholor on a 21-yard touchdown pass, and Allen scored his third touchdown on a 1-yard run, putting the Trojans up 28-13.

Arizona finally found the end zone in the third quarter, when Baker scored on a 6-yard run, four plays after the Wildcats recovered Justin Davis’ fumble at USC’s 22. Baker scored again early in the fourth quarter, turning a fourth-and-3 into a 41-yard touchdown reception out of the back-field that cut USC’s lead to 28-20.

Just like in the California game, Arizona failed on a 2-point conversion but recovered an onside kick to get into position for a last-second win. This time, the Wildcats came up short -- or, wide right.

Arizona Notebook

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) -- This time, No. 15 Arizona got started early.

The Wildcats, plagued recently by slow starts, scored 24 straight points in the first quarter and beat Washington State 59-37 on Sat-urday.

The freshman was 26 of 38 for 294 yards without an interception. Terris Jones-Grigsby added 107 yards rushing for Arizona (6-1, 3-1), which was coming off an off week after losing to Southern California.

Washington State (2-6, 1-4), also off last week, lost its third straight game.

Washington State’s Connor Halliday, the nation’s leading passer, completed 56 of 79 passes for 489 yards, with four touchdowns and two interceptions, and became the leading career passer in school history. Isiah Myers caught two touchdown passes for the Cougars.

Washington State gave up 60 points in a loss to California and 59 points to Arizona in its past two home games.

Arizona scored 24 straight points in the first quarter, including two touchdowns by DaVonte Neal, to win for the fourth consecutive time in Martin Stadium.

Washington State went three-and-out on its first possession and punted. Neal returned the punt 81 yards for a touchdown, continuing a season-long trend of special-team failures for the Cougars. Arizona drove 84 yards on its next possession, but had to settle for Casey Skowron’s 31-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead.

Neal caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Solomon to cap an 80-yard drive on Arizona’s next possession for a 17-0 lead with 3:55 left in the first quarter.

Washington State, desperate to generate some offense, turned the ball over on downs on its own 34 on the next possession. Nate Phillips caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Solomon for a 24-0 lead with 1:11 left in the first quarter. Solomon completed 15 of 19 passes for 169 yards in the first quarter.

Cayleb Jones caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Solomon, on fourth-and-goal, as Arizona took a 31-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

Washington State finally got on the scoreboard when Halliday hit Myers with a 37-yard touchdown pass with 6:36 left in the first half. The play also allowed Halliday to break Alex Brink’s school career passing yards record of 10,913. Halliday finished the game with 11,264.

Halliday fired an 18-yard scoring pass to Myers, completing a 90-yard drive, with 1:51 left in the first half. The conversion kick failed.

Arizona fumbled away the ensuing kickoff and Cyrus Coen recovered to give WSU the ball on Arizona’s 17. The Cougars couldn’t move the ball and settled for Quentin Breshears’ 40-yard field goal to cut Arizona’s lead to 31-16 at halftime.

Nick Wilson ran over from the 2 on the opening drive of the second half to lift Arizona to a 38-16 lead.

Austin Hill caught a 14-yard touchdown pass and Trey Griffey caught a 13-yarder from Solomon later in the third for a 52-16 lead.

Gerard Wicks scored on a short run and Vince Mayle and Tyler Baker caught touchdown passes in the fourth quarter for Washington State.

Arizona’s Cayleb Jones added a kickoff return for a touchdown late in the game

Washington State won in Tucson last season, a key victory as the Cougars went to a bowl game for the first time in a decade. This was Arizona’s first visit to Pullman since 2010.

The Cougars lead the nation in passing with 490 yards per game behind Halliday, who broke the NCAA single-game record by throw-ing for 734 yards against California two weeks ago. The Wildcats lead the Pac-12 and are fourth nationally with 557 yards of offense per game.

Arizona had played five straight games that were decided by a touchdown or less.

Arizona Notebook

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Nine games and two months deep in a thoroughly unsatisfying season, UCLA’s defense finally put it all together and shut down powerful Arizona.

Even Brett Hundley had to marvel at his teammates’ defensive dominance in a win that preserved the Bruins’ postseason dreams for another week.

Hundley passed for 189 yards and ran for 131 more, and UCLA (No. 22 CFP, No. 25 AP) pulled its season back from the brink with a 17-7 victory over Arizona (No. 12 CFP, No. 14 AP) on Saturday night.

UCLA (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12) held the Wildcats scoreless for the final 57 minutes and limited them to 255 yards -- nearly 287 below their season average. It wasn’t flashy, but it was incredibly effective.

Arizona (6-2, 3-2) hadn’t scored fewer than 26 points in any game this season, but the Bruins finally turned into the de-fensive powerhouse that Mora hoped they could be -- even if the Wildcats blamed themselves for the least productive offensive performance in coach Rich Rodriguez’s three seasons.

Paul Perkins rushed for a touchdown and Hundley threw a 70-yard TD pass to Jordan Payton during the decisive third quarter for the Bruins, who stayed in the Pac-12 South race with their first home victory in nearly two months.

Hundley tied Cade McNown’s UCLA career record with his 68th TD pass, while Perkins became the 13th rusher with a 1,000-yard season in school history.

Yet both offensive stars knew they owed the win to a defense that limited Anu Solomon, Arizona’s freshman quarterback, to an 18-for-48 effort for 175 yards and a touchdown pass to Cayleb Jones on the Wildcats’ opening drive.

Hundley noted that two UCLA penalties were the only thing keeping Arizona’s opening drive alive.

Hundley hurt the Wildcats repeatedly with his feet, including a brilliant 19-yard scramble up the middle for a key first down in the fourth quarter and also gave a chance to Arizona by fumbling with 4:32 to play, but Eric Kendricks blocked Arizona’s short field goal attempt, and Anthony Jefferson returned it to midfield.

After falling out of the national title race with consecutive home losses to Utah and Oregon last month, UCLA eked out back-to-back road victories before this impressive defensive effort against Arizona. The Bruins even overcame 11 penalties for 118 yards in the latest head-scratching display by the FBS’ most-penalized team in each of the past two seasons.

With the Bruins trading in their traditional blue jerseys for the debut of grey “L.A. Steel” alternate uniforms, the large Rose Bowl crowd watched an ugly first half in which both teams struggled with most of football’s basics.

The Wildcats’ struggles were due to their inefficient offense, and the Bruins’ woes were pretty much all about penalties: They committed 45 yards in penalties in the first 5½ minutes and finished the first half with nine flags for 98 yards.

Myles Jack committed two 15-yard penalties on the Wildcats’ opening drive, twice negating third-down stops by the UCLA defense. Solomon hit Jones with a 14-yard fade for the first half’s only touchdown.

UCLA had scored on its first 30 drives inside the red zone this season before Ka’imi Fairbairn missed an early field goal. He made a 24-yarder in the second quarter after UCLA failed to take it in from the Arizona 1.

Arizona starting safety Jourdon Grandon was ejected in the first half on a targeting penalty.

Perkins put the Bruins ahead with a short TD run in the third quarter to cap their first relatively smooth scoring drive of the night. On the first snap after another UCLA defensive stop, Hundley uncorked a 70-yard dart down the Bruins’ sideline to Payton for his record-tying score and a 17-7 lead.

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A victory over Colorado is nothing unusual for any Pac-12 team. It was still an important win for No. 21 Arizona.

Anu Solomon threw for four touchdowns and ran for a career-best 105 yards, and the Wildcats kept Colorado winless in the Pac-12 by beating the Buffaloes 38-20 on Saturday night.

Coming off a 17-7 loss at UCLA and playing at home for the first time in nearly a month, the Wildcats stayed in the mix in the South Division. Their remaining games are at home against Washington, at Utah and home against Arizona State.

Colorado’s Sefo Liufau threw for 252 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted twice and lost two fumbles. The sopho-more left after a vicious hit while throwing his second interception with 11:16 to play.

Arizona (7-2, 4-2, No. 21 AP) scored a touchdown after each of the four turnovers by the Buffaloes (2-8, 0-7).

Tra’Mayne Bondurant returned Liufau’s fumble 22 yards for the Wildcats’ first TD.

Arizona’s Nick Wilson, who has been slowed by an ankle injury, rushed for 86 of his 153 yards in the fourth quarter. He had 18 yards in each of the two previous games.

The Wildcats grabbed the lead for good when Solomon threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to David Richards that made it 21-17 with 11 seconds left in the first half.

But it was a tight game until Solomon connected with Samajie Grant for a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Grant’s first TD made it 31-20 with 9:50 to play. The 27-yard reception came after Devin Holiday intercepted Liufau, who was hit hard by Sani Fuimaono just as he let go of the ball.

Liufau stayed on the ground for several minutes before getting to his feet and walking off.

Sophomore Jordan Gehrke finished the game at quarterback for the Buffaloes.

Colorado struck on the first play from scrimmage. Shay Fields got behind Arizona cornerback Cam Denson for a 75-yard touchdown reception.

Arizona tied it at 7 when a blitzing Anthony Lopez knocked the ball from Liufau as he attempted to pass. Bondurant grabbed the fumble on one bounce and returned it for the score.

Moments later, Liufau fumbled again. Jared Tevis knocked the ball loose and recovered at the Buffalo 31. Five plays later, Solomon’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Tyrell Johnson put Arizona up 14-7.

Colorado used a trick play to tie it again.

Phillip Lindsay took the handoff and gave it to Spruce for what appeared to be a reverse. But Spruce threw 7 yards to Liufau in the end zone.

A Buffaloes drive stalled at the 1-yard line and Will Oliver’s 19-yard field goal put Colorado up 17-14 with 4:09 left in the second quarter.

Jourdon Grandon’s diving interception gave Arizona the ball at its 45 with just over two minutes left, and Solomon’s TD pass to Richards put the Wildcats in front.

It was the ninth straight game that Liufau has thrown an interception. Richards was the 10th Arizona player with a scoring catch this season.

Spruce, who entered the game leading the nation in catches per game at just over 10, nine receptions for 89 yards, along with his first career touchdown pass.

Arizona Notebook

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Casey Skowron gained redemption on a wild Saturday afternoon in Tucson.

Skowron kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired to lift Arizona (No. 14 CFP, No. 17 AP) to a 27-26 victory over Washington.

The junior had received Internet death threats after he missed a go-ahead 36-yarder in the final minute of a loss to Southern Cali-fornia.

Skowron, who also had an 18-yard touchdown run on a fake field goal, was wide right on his first attempt at the winning kick but said he heard the whistle when the Huskies called timeout right before the play. He converted his second try.

It was the fifth time this season that Arizona (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) had to make a late play to win.

That the Wildcats got the ball to even attempt the field goal was remarkable.

Washington (6-5, 2-5) was trying to run out the clock but decided to hand the ball to running back Deontae Cooper rather than take a knee.

Tra’Mayne Bondurant knocked the ball out of Cooper’s hands and Derrick Turituri recovered for Arizona at the Washington 45 with 1:23 to go. Bondurant also recovered a fumble.

If the Huskies took a knee for three downs, there would have been 10 seconds or less left when they had to punt.

After the recovery, the Wildcats moved to the 30 and left it up to Skowron.

Just before the winning field goal, Anu Solomon threw 34 yards to Caleb Jones, who made a tough catch in the back of the end zone for what initially was ruled an Arizona touchdown.

But a replay review showed Jones’ toe was on the line, wiping out the TD.

Arizona wouldn’t have been in position to win had Washington not botched the extra point on a bad snap following a third-quarter touchdown.

The Huskies gained 504 yards of offense, compared to 375 for the Wildcats. But Cooper’s turnover was Washington’s third lost fum-ble of the game. The Huskies also were penalized 13 times for 111 yards.

Quarterback Cyler Miles fumbled at the Arizona 14 in the first half and then lost another that led to a Wildcats touchdown in the crazy final two minutes of the first half.

Trailing 17-7, Arizona set up for a field goal try but Skowron took a direct snap and ran around the right side for the TD with 1:39 left.

On Washington’s next possession, Miles couldn’t handle a long snap, picked the ball up, and then fumbled and Bondurant recovered at the Huskies 19 with 33 seconds left in the half. Three plays later, Nick Wilson ran 8 yards up the middle for a touchdown that gave the Wildcats a 21-17 lead.

Dwayne Washington rushed 13 times for a career-high 148 yards for the Huskies. He burst through the line for a 66-yard touchdown run in the first half. And his 1-yard TD put Washington up 26-21 with 2:45 left in the third quarter. That run capped a 13-play, 74-yard drive. The errant snap made the conversion no good.

Solomon’s 63-yard pass to Trey Griffey set up Skowron’s 35-yard field goal that cut the lead to 26-24 with 13:08 remaining.

Washington had a 347-193 advantage in total yards in the first half but trailed at the break, thanks largely to nine penalties for 67 yards.

Cameron Van Winkle’s early 43-yard field goal attempt for the Huskies bounced off the right upright and was no good.

» Arizona captures its first eight-win regular season since finished 11-1 in 1998 (won the Holiday Bowl to finish season 12-1). The Wild-cats also secured their third-straight eight-win season after winning bowl games to pick up the eighth win in the 2012 and 2013 campaigns.

» The last time the Wildcats won eight games in three-consecutive seasons was from 1973-75 under College Football Hall of Fame coach Jim Young.

» Casey Skowron’s 47-yard field goal as time expired marked Arizona’s first game-winning field goal (inside last minute) since Alex Ze-ndejas kicked a 32-yarder to upend Arizona State, 20-17, on Nov. 28, 2009.

» Skowron’s boot appears to be the first game-winning field goal for Arizona when it was trailing in the final seconds since Max Zendejas nailed a 45-yarder to upend Arizona State on Nov. 26, 1983.
