It was a wild one in Provo as the Wildcats tested the Cougs until the final seconds. CB Mory Bamba sealed the win with a second down pick, However, it was the play before that helped decide the game. Win Zona only trailing by one and driving to get into game winning FG range Wildcat QB Noah Fifita dropped a dime but DB Jakob Robinson knocked the ball loose. The receiver catches it and it's game winning FG attempt from chip shot range.
Coach TSTEP "it was a play that won the game - we were under 30 seconds and had some horrible defensive play calls but oddly both worked out." The Cougs were led by RB LJ Martin who was the team's only offense as QB Gerry Bohanon went 5 of 13 for 96 yards and one TD but had three costly picks. The Zona D bottled up the passing game all night long.
The Wildcats continue to maintain a zero in the conference win column after falling in a heartbreaker to BYU. It was a wild game of momentum swings for the fans and they definitely got their money's worth in this one.
Arizona late in the fourth quarter looked like they might pull it off not once but twice but BYU was not to be stopped. In what was arguably the play of the game, BYU called a deep pass play when the Arizona defense had completely sold out for the run. The BYU wide receiver hauled in what turned out to be the game winning touchdown by outmuscling an Arizona defender and falling in to the endzone for the 40+ yard touchdown.
Arizona got the ball back one final time down 28-27 and just needed to drive in to field goal range. Their kicker was 4-5 on the day already so it seemed like a sure bet that they would get the win if he could get in range. It wasn't meant to be however as Arizona blew a gift from BYU on a coverage error as the Wildcats dropped what should have been an easily caught ball in field goal range. Two plays later the game was over as Arizona QB Nick Fifita misread the BYU coverage and threw a deep pick in the shadow of the endzone. BYU took the ball and the win shutting down the Wildcats dreams of finally picking up their first Big 12 win ever.
On to next week to continue to the fight.
Great game man! Enjoyed every minute of it!
