Forget whatever you thought were the worst points in Arizona football history: this is rock bottom.
The Wildcats, which closed as a 27-point favorite against NAU, lost 21-19 to their FCS in-state foe on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium. The smallest home crowd in the UA’s Pac-10/12 history—33,481—witnessed an absolutely dreadful performance to extend the losing streak to 15 games, the longest active skid in FBS.
It was Arizona’s first loss to NAU since 1932 and its first two a team not currently playing at the FBS level since falling to West Texas A&M in 1961.
Using its third-string quarterback, Arizona (0-3) had a chance to force overtime but, like so many other times on Saturday, it came up short.
