Arizona's young defense gives 'Cats more than they bargained for

The Arizona Wildcats are one of the youngest teams in the country with over sixty true and redshirt freshmen dotting the roster. A team must learn how to win, and unfortunately, the way most accomplish that is by losing. On Friday, the Wildcats learned a valuable lesson about letting a victory slip away. The Utah Utes gave the young ‘Cats an opportunity to steal an important conference win. However, turnovers and inefficient play doomed Arizona. The 30-24 defeat left a sour taste in the mouth of head coach Rich Rodriguez and the rest of the Wildcat program, as evidenced by the tense post-game press conference.
