What we learned from Arizona’s 31-30 loss

This one’s going to sting.

As had been the case almost every game this season, the Arizona Wildcats fell behind early only to suddenly come alive in the second half and have a chance to win. And unlike one-score losses to BYU and USC, Arizona actually did lead on two separate occasions.

For all of two minutes and 51 seconds, with UCLA quickly coming back with long touchdown drives after Arizona went up 20-17 late in the third quarter and 27-24 early in the fourth.

In the end, though, Arizona (3-5, 2-3 Pac-12) fell 31-30 at UCLA (2-5, 2-2) because its defense couldn’t make a stop when it needed it most.
