Arizona rallies against Colorado 34-31 with walk off field goal

Jonah Coleman rushed for 179 yards as the Wildcats (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12, No. 21 CFP) won their four straight game.

Arizona trailed 24-17 at the break, and didn't take its first lead until Loop's field goal. The Wildcats are 13-74 when trailing at halftime in the Pac-12 era.

Shedeur Sanders ran for a score and threw for two more as the Buffaloes (4-6, 1-6) lost for the sixth time in seven games since a 3-0 start. Sanders also finished with 262 yards passing to go over the 10,000-yard mark for his career.

Colorado kicker Alejandro Mata missed a 44-yard field goal to the right with 4:57 remaining.

Coleman then went to work and helped the Wildcats put together an 11-play, 67-yard drive, setting up Loop's winner. Loop also connected on a career-best 52-yard field goal with 1:32 remaining before halftime...

Fifita had to get into a rhythm but started hitting his receivers in the second half.

Colorado's receivers had their way over the middle of the field. D-line did a great job of pressuring Shadeur but we couldn't consistently take him down.

The forward progress call against T-Max was pretty bad. A few awful PI calls also affected the game, yet the refs missed some targeting calls against Arizona, so it all balanced out.

The staff continues to win. If we take down Utah, there's a nice bowl bid in our future!  Bear down

Looks like Noah finally had that freshman game everyone was talking about. Meanwhile he had a 60% completion rate, 214 yards and 2 TDs.

Yup, we're pretty lucky to have him. Fifita's day would be considered "good" for any other conference QB.

Glad that his "down" game was against CU. With USC losing again last night, Arizona is in the driver's seat. Win the final two games and we're in the PAC-12 championship!

Amazing to even read that.  This team played with a lot of heart and grit. BEAR DOWN !

I thought we'd have a letdown game and I think we did. We were good enough to squeak out a 3 pt win anyway. I think we beat Utah, but at ASU still concerns me for some reason. Similar in a way the CU game did. Asu has been trick-playing their way to wins and their defense is actually pretty stout. If we lose to Utah, I am less worried about ASU because we will be focused and angry.
Hopefully the scenario is Oregon loses and we beat Utah and are playing for a trip to the Pac 12 CS game. Could you imagine Arizona finally winning this damn conference in its last year of existence.

[KansasCityCats]

What a way to go out. Bittersweet.

Yup, both of our final opponents scare me but it's nice to know that the team is talented enough to win on nights when we don't play to our potential.

I have a feeling aswho will let their emotions get in the way too much and AZ will either roll over them or beat them 24-14 or something like that. 24-7 going into the 4th Q would be great. I'll take a W against normal whether it's by 1 point or a 50. But if I had to choose I hope Jedd runs up the score.

Now close your eyes for a sec and imagine if JDL was playing....oh dear
