Sep 29, 2024, 05:25 AM

In a significant upset, the Arizona Wildcats defeated the No. 10 Utah Utes 23-10 at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Arizona started strong with a 47-yard field goal and a 3-yard touchdown pass by Fifita, leading 10-3 at halftime. Despite Utah out-gaining Arizona with 219 yards to 169, their inability to capitalize in the red zone hindered their performance. Arizona extended their lead with a 53-yard field goal and a 35-yard touchdown, ultimately sealing the victory with a Gunner Maldonado interception. Caleb Lohner's 20-yard reception was not enough to save Utah. This season-altering victory marks a notable achievement for Arizona, giving them the best winning percentage in Big 12 history.
