The Arizona Wildcats survived against the California Golden Bears on Saturday, beating them 24-17 despite a poor offensive showing.
Cal outgained Arizona 476-265 and UA’s offense did not score in the second half. Thankfully, Arizona’s defense created four turnovers and scored two second-half touchdowns — and only allowed three second-half points — to lift the team to victory.
Quarterback Khalil Tate had a tough night, going 15-for-25 for 141 yards, a touchdown and an interception. However, he did put the Wildcats up 7-0 on their opening drive, finding Tony Ellison over the middle for a 31-yard touchdown.
