Tyler Loop has been one of the most accurate kickers in college football during his career, but he hadn’t had a game-winning field goal attempt until this season. He missed the first try earlier this season at USC but nailed a 24-yarder as time expired Saturday to give Arizona a walkoff win at Colorado.
That kick, along with a career-long 52-yarder in the first half, helped Loop earn Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week.

Loop, a redshirt junior, is the first UA kicker to win the award since Lucas Havrisik in 2019 and the first special teams player from the Wildcats since punter Kyle Ostendorp in 2021.
