Lack of stops dooms Arizona football in shootout loss at Washington

Gaining more than 500 yards and scoring in the 30s should be a recipe for success. Emphasis on should, since Arizona has now lost twice this season with those offensive numbers.

The UA was once again let down by its porous defense, this time unable to stop the pass, falling 49-39 at Washington on Saturday afternoon in Seattle.

The Wildcats (3-4, 1-3 Pac-12) gained 526 yards, their third 500-yard performance in the last four games, with Jayden de Laura throwing for 400 yards and four touchdowns, yet they never led and trailed by as much as 18 before making it a one-score game midway through the fourth quarter.
