Ahead of his first home finale two years ago, Jedd Fisch referred to Utah as “the model” for how he wants Arizona’s program to look. This didn’t sit well with some fans, who apparently didn’t think a team that hasn’t had a losing record since 2013 to be a high enough benchmark.
The Utes would win 38-29 in Tucson a few days later, going on to claim the first of back-to-back Pac-12 titles and consecutive trips to the Rose Bowl, while the UA finished up a 1-11 campaign.
Now, Arizona (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12) and Utah (7-3, 4-3) have the same overall record.
