No. 1 : Keeping Pace in the Pac

Nov. 22, 2014

Utah (No. 20) 10
Arizona (No. 15) 42

In a battle of two Top 20 teams, the Cats kept their slim Pac-12 South title hopes alive by using their aggressive run game in a rain-soaked Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Anu Solomon threw for 158 yards in the first half before leaving the game with an injury.

With Solomon out, the Cats ran roughshod over the Utes on the ground, gaining 298 yards.

Nick Wilson put the game out of reach when he ran virtually untouched for a 75-yard score.

Wilson would finish the game with 218 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

Arizona’s defense forced four turnovers, one of which allowed defensive linemen Dan Pettinato to score a 31-yard touchdown after picking up a Utes fumble.

A week later the Cats would defeat its rivals from the North, giving them a Pac-12 South title.
