Arizona’s first win under Jedd Fisch came on Homecoming. Three years later, the Wildcats’ first chance to clinch bowl eligibility will also come before an alumni-heavy crowd Saturday night against No. 20 UCLA.
This marks the fifth consecutive ranked opponent that Arizona (5-3, 3-2 Pac-12) has faced. It lost the first two by seven and two points, respectively, the second in triple overtime, then blew out then-No. 19 Washington State on the road and last week took down then-No. 11 Oregon State at Arizona Stadium.
The win over OSU marked the first time the Wildcats had won back-to-back games over ranked opponents since 2014, the first time since 2006 they did it when unranked themselves.
