Arizona Wildcats secure narrow victory over TCU

The No. 22 University of Arizona football team defeated TCU 29-28 at Casino Del Sol Stadium. The victory, which brings the Wildcats to a 7-2 record, keeps their hopes for a Big 12 Conference Championship appearance alive.

The game was decided in the final minute when a pooch kick by punter Ian French allowed defensive back Zuri Watson to recover the ball, setting up a 37-yard game-winning field goal by Michael Salgado-Medina with 39 seconds remaining. Quarterback Noah Fifita led a second-half comeback, scoring 19 points after an earlier interception.

In addition to the special teams success, Giovanni Richardson recorded 11 catches for 171 yards, and Isaiah Mizell contributed a touchdown catch on the opening drive. CBS Sports has projected Arizona for a potential matchup against South Carolina in the Las Vegas Bowl.
