Utes slip by Wildcats

Arizona Wildcats Football


It's a tough time for the Arizona Wildcats.

Arizona loses to Utah 36-23 in Salt Lake City tonight to fall to 2-4 and 0-3 in the Pac-12 Conference.

Brandon Dawkins tossed a 75-yard TD pass to Shun Brown on the first play from scrimmage and scored on a 6-yard run in the second quarter before leaving the game, still hampered with a rib injury. The Wildcats added a field goal with 9:04 left in the fourth quarter and completed their scoring with 4:14 left in the game when Khalil Tate connected with Samajie Grant on a 63-yard TD pass.

And that was it for Arizona -- a team in search of a running back. The Wildcats are down to their fourth and fifth running backs -- Zach Green and Tyrell Johnson, who combined for just 45 yards.

Up next: USC at Arizona Stadium, next Saturday.
