Final: Washington State defeats Arizona football 45-42

Arizona football asked for a Homecoming miracle.

Washington State quarterback Luke Falk wasn’t in on the memo.

The sophomore gunslinger threw for 514 and five touchdowns as the Cougars upset Arizona 45-42 and all but ended the Wildcats’ Pac-12 South title hopes.

Falk kept the UA secondary on its toes all day by completing 47 of 62 attempts, including a game-clinching, fourth-quarter touchdown that increased the Cougars’ lead to 45-35.
