No. 2: Utes National Championship Dreams Upended

Nov. 14, 2015

Utah (No. 10) 30
Arizona 37 (Double OT)

Utah came to Tucson with a chance to keep their College Football Playoff dreams alive.

With 9:25 left in the fourth and the game tied at 27, Arizona’s offense took a big blow.

Anu Solomon was having one of his best games of the season when he was knocked out of the game, on a controversial helmet to helmet hit.

Without Solomon, the Cats offense was one-dimensional, and the game was pushed into overtime.

In the second extra session backup quarterback, Jerrard Randall completed his only pass of the game.

That 25-yard pass was complete to Nate Phillips for a touchdown and a 37-30 lead.

The Cats defense would hold the Utes at bay in the second overtime, giving the Cats it’s fourth straight year in which they defeated a top 10 team.
