The chances of the Arizona Wildcats making a bowl game this season had been dwindling by the week since mid-October. On Saturday night, they officially vanished.
Arizona managed only 196 yards in its home finale, seven fewer than Utah’s Zack Moss managed himself on the ground, in falling 35-7 to the seventh-ranked Utes on Saturday night before an abysmal crowd at Arizona Stadium.
The loss dropped the Wildcats, who have lost six straight games, to 4-7 overall and 2-6 in Pac-12 play, and clinched a second-straight season without a bowl bid. The last time Arizona went back-to-back seasons without a postseason appearance was 2006-07.
