Rick Bowmer / Associated PressArizona moves ahead to Week 10 as the Wildcats prepare to host Colorado on a short week after UA dismantled Oregon 44-15 on Saturday.
UA had three takeaways against the Ducks: a fumble, interception and a blocked punt, plus, the Wildcats held Oregon to 3 of 16 on third-down conversions. Running back J.J. Taylor also contributed 212 rushing yards and became the first UA running back since Nick Wilson in 2014 to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Now Arizona will focus on Colorado, a team searching for its first win in four weeks.
