Watch: 9 best things Arizona Wildcats said after beating Cal

Turnovers help Cats

It wasn't pretty, but Arizona will take it. 

After only producing 265 yards of total offense, Arizona still was able to pull out a 24-17 win over the Cal Golden Bears on Saturday night. 

How did the Wildcats do it?

Five turnovers, with two of them resulting into touchdowns, helped.

The most help came from Colin Schooler's interception in the third quarter, which was punched out by a Cal defender and then picked up by backup cornerback Azizi Hearn for a touchdown. Next was Scottie Young Jr.'s interception which he returned for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Arizona's defense late in the game was a major component to the victory. Schooler, Hearn, Young, Kevin Sumlin, Khalil Tate and Tony Ellison spoke to the media in the postgame press conference, here's what they had to say.
