Arizona Fight Back to Win 41-31

The Wildcats would be trailing 21-3 with 1:32 in the 2nd quarter remaining but they flipped the switch and got things going. Jr. QB Nick Foles threw two touchdowns (49 & 61 yds) to make it 21-17. Cal would get a late field goal to make it 24-17 at the half but the momentum had shifted sides.

Arizona would get a field goal to make it 24-20 but Cal would silence the home crowd with a 36-yard receiving touchdown by M. Calvin to make it 31-20 and it looked at though the Wildcats were on the brinks of losing their first game.

Foles would lead the troops down the field and then do it himself on a 14-yard touchdown run. Arizona would go for two and convert to make it 31-28 heading into the 4th quarter.

In the fourth Cal got sloppy with the football and committed three turnovers on a fumble and two interceptions by AZ CB Trevin Wade. Turnovers definitely cost Cal the game, as two of them came deep in Arizona territory.

Foles would complete his five touchdown day by tossing scores to Bug Wright & David Douglas, who both had two receiving touchdowns on the day.

Huge win for Arizona and they host Oregon St. next week looking to improve to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Pac-10.
