BERKELEY, Calif. -- Quarterback Khalil Tate ran for 137 yards and a touchdown and passed for two more, including a 22-yarder to Bryce Wolma in the second overtime, and Arizona held on to beat California 45-44 on Saturday night.
Zach Green scored the Wildcats touchdown in the first overtime and had a 3-yard run to open the second extra period before Tate scrambled in the backfield to avoid a sack and found Wolma open near the goal line for the game-winner.
California answered with Vic Enwere's 1-yard touchdown run but came up short on a two-point conversion attempt when Arizona freshman linebacker Colin Schooler deflected a Ross Bowers pass intended for Jordan Duncan near the back of the end zone.
