Arizona held off Colorado 42-34 behind career performances from quarterback Khalil Tate and running back J.J. Taylor.
Tate posted a career-high 350 yards and completed 17 of 22 passes while
Taylor rushed for 192 on 40 carries.
Arizona recorded 566 yards of total offense compared to Colorado's 383 and UA's defense was able to force turnovers, a Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles forced fumble and a Troy Young interception in the fourth quarter.
The Wildcats advance to a 5-5 record, 4-3 in Pac-12 play and head into a bye week before hitting the road to face Washington State on Nov. 10.
