Nick Wilson never doubted himself. Many others did.
The Arizona Wildcats running back was injury-prone. He was brittle. He’d never regain the form he showed as a freshman.
Well, the “old” Nick Wilson re-emerged Saturday night at Arizona Stadium. Overshadowed by quarterback Khalil Tate — but benefiting tremendously from his presence — Wilson rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns in Arizona’s 47-30 victory over UCLA.
It was a long time coming.
Wilson hadn’t reached the century mark since Week 2 of last season. That was the second of back-to-back, 100-yard outings. Wilson appeared to be, well, back.
