Wildcats end the season with a 45-37 win over Lafayette
The sun has set on a forgettable season but also some memorable careers. The Cats' seniors pulled Arizona to a win over a pesky Lafayette team that was seeking their 9th win. The game started out well for Arizona as the defense made some plays early but Bryson Beirne threw an early pick and the Cats were forced to put in their Senior QB Nick Foles. What ensued was an offensive slugfest that saw fake-punts, end-arounds, and onside kicks for Lafayette, but also Antolin TDs, Criner's 31st and 32nd career TDs, and Foles passing the 10,000 yard mark for passing on his career. UL Lafayette was the better coached team, but Foles and the Seniors ushered the Cats past the Ragin' Cajuns to put on a great farewell show and a nice taste of Wildcats Football for next year's head coach, Rich Rodriguez.

Arizona stuns ASU in Tempe, 31-27
Even though Arizona is a disappointing 3-8, nothing is more disappointing than losing the Territorial Cup to your arch-rivals. The Sun devils let up the Territorial Cup to the Wildcats as they also let up a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter. The Sun devils fell behind early but regained the lead at 27-17. The most penalized team in the PAC 12 had many personal foul penalties even though they played at Sun devil Stadium. Nick Foles passed a TD to GinoCrump to pull within three at 10 minutes in the 4th quarter. In their next possession, Foles got knocked out and Senior QB Bryson Beirne stepped in at QB. He only threw one pass, but the pass proved to be the most important pass of his life as Juron criner caught it for a 23 yard TD. Osweiler then threw an INT to Jourdan Grandon, but the Sun devils got the ball back. osweiler drove down the field to the Cats Red Zone, but Shaquille Richardson broke up the last pass to Gerell Robinson as the time expired.2011 Territorial Cup Champs

Cats beat up the Bruins 48-12, snap losing streak
Victory is a sweet feeling... Especially when you haven't beaten an FBS opponent in 355 years. That is what the Arizona Wildcats experienced Thursday night on ESPN against the Ucla Bruins, the team's first victory since their win against Ucla last year in the Rose Bowl. The victory marked the first under interim head coach Tim Kish. By halftime, the Cats had stormed out to a commanding 42-7 with help from 3 TDs from Foles to Criner, but a fan dressed as a referee ran onto the field and started streaking. During the confusion, the Cats and Bruins got into a sideline clearing brawl which resulted in 10 player suspensions. The game was very odd in the sense that the Cats dominated on both sides of the ball which hasn't been often this season. Arizona can't afford any more slip ups this season if they want to play in a bowl.
