Nearly 40 years before Desert Swarm was a chic phrase in Tucson. The 1952 squad put up some numbers against the Utes that Tedy Bruschi and company would be proud of.
The Cats held the Utes to 239 total yards and caused Utah to fumble the ball nine times. Arizona recovered six of those fumbles and added an interception to their defensive domination.
On the offensive side of the ball, Arizona sophomore fullback Don Beasley scampered his way to 160 yards on the ground giving him 7.2 yards per carry on the afternoon.
His touchdown in the second quarter gave the Cats a 20-0 lead.
Arizona would finish the season 6-4.
