Arizona-Cal games are never boring, and Saturday’s addition to their series continued the trend of wild results. It didn’t come down to the final play like the last two years but it once again was one that Arizona Wildcats fans aren’t likely to forget anytime soon.
And not just because Arizona won 24-17 over Cal to improve to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in Pac-12 play. It’s how the Wildcats did so, gaining only 265 yards but forcing four turnovers and scoring off two of them.
If Arizona ends up making a bowl game—which is a lot more possible after winning than had it dropped to 2-4—this outcome will likely go down as the season’s turning point.
