No. 10 USC pulls away late to hold off Arizona, spoiling Homecoming

This could end up being the last time USC ever plays in Tucson. If so, Arizona made the Trojans work hard for that final victory.

The Wildcats hung with 10th-ranked USC for much of the night but just didn’t have the horses to pull off an upset, falling 45-37 on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium.

An announced Homecoming crowd of 44,006 saw Arizona (3-5, 1-4 Pac-12) drop its 10th straight to USC, but it had a chance to tie the game late in the third quarter and was an onside kick away from having an opportunity to force overtime.
