Look, the Arizona Wildcats were clearly outmatched in just about every facet of the game against the Houston Cougars on Saturday morning.
The only reason there was even a little glimmer of hope was because Arizona’s first team offense started taking it Houston’s second team defense.
But there was that slight glimmer.
Until the coaching staff snuffed it out.
With the score sitting at 38-18 and facing a 4th-and-9 at their own 45-yard-line with 5:05 left in the game, Kevin Sumlin opted to punt the ball rather than go for it.
