Arizona Wildcats Defeat No. 10 Utah Utes in Upset VictoryKey TakeawaysNext GamesArizona Sports SceneStay Updated with 12Sports

On Saturday night in Salt Lake City, the Arizona Wildcats pulled off a stunning upset, defeating the No. 10 Utah Utes 23-10. Led by quarterback Noah Fifita, Arizona’s offense clicked into gear while their defense shut down the Utes on crucial fourth-down plays.

Fifita threw for 197 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with his receivers at key moments in the game. The Wildcats’ defense was the star of the night, with two interceptions, eight pass breakups, and seven tackles for loss.

Utah, playing without QB Cam Rising, struggled to find their rhythm offensively. Freshman Isaac Wilson showed promise but couldn’t convert in the red zone, throwing two costly interceptions.

Key plays from Fifita to Tetairoa McMillan and Keyan Burnett helped Arizona extend their lead and secure the victory. The Wildcats’ defense held strong, denying the Utes crucial scoring opportunities.

With this win, Arizona improves to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12 conference. Utah falls to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12.

Key Takeaways

Arizona: The Wildcats’ balanced offensive attack and stout defense proved to be the difference in the game. Arizona capitalized on Utah’s mistakes and made big plays when it mattered most.

Utah: The Utes’ sloppy tackling and red zone inefficiency cost them the game. Despite a strong first half, Utah couldn’t convert their yardage into points and struggled to contain Arizona’s offense.

Next Games

Arizona will host Texas Tech on Oct. 5, looking to build on their momentum from this victory. Utah has a bye week before facing Arizona State on Oct. 11.
