LOS ANGELES — Entering Saturday night, nobody was quite sure which Arizona Wildcats team would show up.
Would it be the squad that executed on offense, came up clutch on defense and responded to every challenge at Colorado? Or the one that imploded early and wilted late against Washington?
Unfortunately for Arizona, it turned out to be the latter.
Again plagued by mistakes – many of its own doing – the UA lost to USC 41-14 in front of an announced crowd of 53,826 Saturday night at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
The defeat was the Wildcats’ second in a row on the heels of a four-game winning streak.
