Before and after a driving rainstorm drenched Rice-Eccles Stadium, Arizona couldn’t hang onto the football. Four fumbles, plus a handful of other critical mistakes, led to a 45-20 loss to the Utes in front of an announced crowd of 51,919. Most had left by the fourth quarter, when the rain finally subsided.
The defeat was Arizona’s fourth in a row and dropped the Wildcats to 3-6, 1-5 in the Pac-12. Once 3-2, Arizona now needs to win its final three games to earn a bowl berth. – Michael Lev / Arizona Daily Star
