Arizona had just beaten Iowa. Cal had just been introduced to the dark side of a woodshed by Nevada. So of course Cal lead Arizona 9-3 with under two minutes to go in the fourth quarter of a game in Tucson, then missed a salt-it-away field goal.↵
Arizona Edges Cal In Craziest Game Ever Of This Week
And of course Nick Foles hit Juron Criner for a 51-yard pass to Cal's 12-yard line, then found Criner again in the end zone to put Arizona back up 10-9. And, well, of course Cal's last-ditch drive was thwarted by a pick, which was, of course, idiotically returned by Joseph Perkins, who, of course, covered the ball with both hands to avert a fumble, but, OF COURSE, fumbled anyway. Arizona recovered the fumble, finally ending the volatility of the last few minutes of play in Tucson, and the Wildcats kept their undefeated record.
↵This is the last year of the Pac-10, of course. But it’s heartening to see the flagship conference of defense allergies and occasional acquaintance with logic isn’t going to finish its existence in this configuration without taking a few final trips to Crazytown.
