Arizona is officially out of contention for a bowl berth, after the Wildcats fell 31-20 to Washington State Saturday afternoon at Arizona Stadium.
UA quarterback Jayden de Laura, a former Cougar, threw for 357 yards and scored two touchdowns, albeit tossed a career-high four interceptions.
Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch discussed the Wildcats' (4-7) setback as they turn their attention to the Territorial Cup game against Arizona State on Friday in Tucson.
