During its recent football history, Arizona has gotten a bad reputation for finding ways to lose games late, which seemed like sure W’s.

During Arizona’s magical 2014 Pac-12 South Championship year, the football gods paid the Cats back twice for their previous shortcomings.

The first came during the monumental comeback win against Cal when Anu Solomon found Austin Hill in the end zone as time expired.

The other was against the Huskies.

The contest was all but over, but a late game fumble gave the Cats new life on the Husky 45 with 1:23 left.

Earlier in the season, Casey Skowron missed a potential game-winning field goal against USC.

Against the Huskies Skowron was ready.

His 47-yard field goal as time expired gave the Cats a victory in a must-win game.

Two weeks later the Cats defeated their rivals from the North for the title.
