What's up (Myles) Jack? Bruins' linebacker turned running back beats Wildcats

Arizona Wildcats Football


What's up, Jack!

It's Myles Jack, a true freshman linebacker turned running back, who runs around and through the Arizona defense for 120 yards on six carries to give UCLA the spark it needed to escape Arizona Stadium tonight with a 31-26 win over the Wildcats.

Arizona tried its best to upset the 19th-ranked Bruins, but it wasn't to be as the Wildcats fall out of the race for the Pac-12 South and fall to a respectable 6-3 overall and a 3-3 record in the conference.

The Wildcats did a lot of things right tonight but Arizona coach Rich Rodriquez thinks differently as he pointed out after the game the mistakes his troops made, such as: blocking, tackling, catching…and the inability to score points once they're in the red zone.

Coach Rod summed in up by saying, "It was embarrassing!"

Still, at least from an Arizona fan perspective, the game kept me on the edge of my seat. Down 14-3 early, the Wildcats battled back and had plenty of opportunities to send UCLA home with a loss.

Bottom line: The Wildcats didn't get it done.

As far as Ka'Deem Carey is concerned, he did his thing again, rushing for 149 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown. Unfortunately, Mr. Jack stole the show and the game, rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown on just six carries and then stayed on the field as a linebacker.

Next up: Washington State.
