Poor second half dooms Arizona in loss to Washington

The second half had been mostly smiles and high fives for the Arizona Wildcats during the bulk of their four-game win streak. But that run is over after a disastrous final 30 minutes against the Washington Huskies on Saturday night, with the Huskies running away to a 51-27 victory before 47,933 fans at Arizona Stadium.

Washington outscored the Wildcats 38-10 in the second half, scoring on five of its first six possessions, going ahead for good early in the third quarter and never relinquishing the lead.

Four turnovers—which led to 20 Washington points—and an offensive line that couldn’t protect Khalil Tate were among the many stumbles on the night for Arizona, which fell to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Pac-12.
