Wildcats fail to overcome early deficit against USC

Amy Bailey | The Daily Wildcat Wide receiver Devaughn Cooper (7) tries to catch the ball in the end zone during the Arizona-USC game at the Arizona Stadium on Saturday September 29, 2018 in Tucson, Az.

Fireworks filled the sky as the Arizona Wildcats raced out of the tunnel ahead of Saturday night’s Pac-12 South showdown against the Southern California Trojans.

Unfortunately, for football head coach Kevin Sumlin’s squad, pregame would be the only time worth celebrating this weekend.

Arizona (2-3) fell to USC (3-2) 24-20 in what could be coined as one of the Wildcats’ weirdest performances of recent memory.
