ABOUT LAST GAME: Noah Fifita threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns, and Arizona knocked off No. 20 UCLA 27-10 on Saturday night to give the Wildcats victories over ranked opponents in three consecutive games for the first time in program history. Coming off wins over then-No. 19 Washington State and No. 16 Oregon State, the Wildcats (6-3, 4-2 Pac-12) picked apart one of the nation's top defenses to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2017 - two years after going 1-11 in coach Jedd Fisch's first season. Arizona ran for 129 yards against the FBS' best run defense and Fifita was sharp in his fifth straight start. He connected with Tetairoa McMillan on a 12-yard touchdown pass - originally ruled incomplete - early in the fourth quarter and hit 25 of 32 passes. The Bruins (6-3, 3-3 Pac-12), one of the nation's most aggressive pass-rushing teams, had a hard time putting pressure on Fifita and couldn't get out of their own way on offense. UCLA missed two field goals - a recurring problem this season - and turned the ball over on downs after recovering a blocked punt at Arizona's 31 in the fourth quarter. The Bruins got off to a sluggish start last week against Colorado, turning it over four times in the first half before rallying for a 28-16 win. UCLA was slow out of the gate again in the desert. The Bruins had a holding call negate a first down deep in Arizona's end on its opening drive and Blake Glessner missed a 41-yard field goal. A fumble and a sack on another drive forced the Bruins to settle for a field goal and Arizona blocked Glessner's kick - UCLA's fifth straight miss over three games. The Bruins finally found an offensive rhythm late in the half, quickly moving 75 yards for Ethan Garbers' 17-yard touchdown pass to Carsen Ryan with three seconds left. Fifita picked apart the Bruins in the first half with quick-hitting passes to set up a pair of scores. He threw two 9-yard TD passes, to Montana Lemonius-Craig and Jacob Cowing, to put the Wildcats up 14-7 at halftime. The Wildcats played one of the most difficult stretches of any team in the country, facing five straight ranked opponents. Arizona went 3-2 in that stretch, its two losses coming by a combined nine points. The Wildcats could be ranked in next week's poll for the first time since reaching No. 23 in 2017.

ARIZONA FACES COLORADO IN BOULDER: Arizona (6-3, 4-2) moves into the Top-25 in both the AP poll and Coaches Poll after taking down three consecutive top-20 opponents. Now the Wildcats face the Buffaloes for the 26th time in series history. Ted Robinson (PxP) and Yogi Roth (analyst) have the call on Pac-12 Networks. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. MST. The Wildcats defeated the Buffaloes 43-20 last season in Tucson to snap a two-game losing streak against Colorado. Arizona is 5-7 all-time in Boulder and have been outscored 357-284 against Colorado on the road. Although the Wildcats have dropped two of three, they have won three of the last five matchups and seven of the last ten games in the series. The Wildcats longest streak in the series was four games from 2012-15, including the largest margin of victory in the series for Arizona (56-31 in 2012), 25 in Tucson. 

IN THE RANKINGS: For the first time since 2017, the Wildcats have been ranked in the AP Top 25, rising to No. 23 in the poll. The Wildcats are also ranked No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.  The Wildcats have taken down three AP Top-20 opponents over the past three weeks and have jumped to No. 23 in the AP Top-25 and No. 24 in the Coaches Poll following a 27-10 win over then No. 19 UCLA (CFP). It's the first time in program history that Arizona defeated three AP Top-20 ranked opponents in consecutive weeks. Arizona began its run with the largest margin of victory, 38 points, during a 44-6 road win over then No. 19 Washington State. The Wildcats returned home and remained hot taking down then No. 11 Oregon State 27-24 and defeating No. 18 UCLA 27-10 last night at Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats are ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2017 when they were ranked as high as 17th.

FIFITA FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: Arizona Football quarterback Noah Fifita has been named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for the fourth time following his 300-yard, three passing-touchdown performance against No. 19 UCLA during Week 10. Fifita has earned this honor in four consecutive weeks, tying the conference record four times in one season since the creation of the honor in 2019. The only time Fifita did not take home the Freshman of the Week Honor over the last five weeks was following the BYE week for the Wildcats on Oct. 21. He completed 25-of-32 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns against one of the nation's best defenses in a Week 10 victory. His 300 passing yards were the most allowed by UCLA's defense this season. Also, the three touchdown passes tied for the most allowed by the Bruins this season. The 429 yards by the Wildcats were the most allowed by UCLA this season. Fifita completed over 78 percent of his passes for the third consecutive game, with a high-water mark of 79.1 percent against Washington State on Oct. 14. The redshirt freshman from Huntington Beach earned his fifth consecutive start against a ranked opponent and has posted a 3-2 record. His performance helped the Wildcats clinch bowl eligibility for the first time since 2017, after earning their sixth win of the season.

TOP PERFORMANCES AGAINST TOP-20 TEAMS: 

• The Wildcats are the first Pac-12 program to win three consecutive ranked games since Stanford in 2015 with a 27-10 win over then No. 19 UCLA. 
• Arizona now boasts three wins against AP Top 25 teams in consecutive games, the first time the feat has been accomplished in program history. The Wildcats defeated No. 19 Washington State, 44-6, and took down No. 11 Oregon State, 27-24, to begin the streak. 
• Arizona committed zero penalties in the first half against No. 11 Oregon State, the first time they posted a penalty free half of football since the first half against Oregon in 2022. The Wildcats four penalties are their fewest since being tagged with just three at UCLA in 2022, while their 20 penalty yards are their fewest since recording 11 against Oregon in 2022.
• Arizona's seven pass breakups against No. 11 Oregon State are the most posted by a Wildcat defense since swatting seven passes against UCLA in week four of the 2019 season.
• The Wildcats 94-yard touchdown drive against No. 11 Oregon State to take the lead in the second quarter was their longest drive of the season (previous: 92 yards, twice, last, at USC). Arizona now has four scoring drives of 90+ yards this season; they had one last season (92 yards, at California).
• The Wildcats now boast four victories over teams ranked in the AP Top 25 under head coach Jedd Fisch after going three seasons without one.
• WR Malachi Riley's 40-yard reception in the second quarter against No. 11 Oregon State was the longest of his career, more than quadrupling his previous long catch of six yards.

• Fifita made his second career start at No. 9 USC. Both of his first two career starts have come against AP top 10 ranked teams. Per ESPN research, Fifita is the 10th quarterback in the past 20 seasons to make his first two career starts against AP top 10 opponents. 
• Fifita's five passing touchdowns and 303 yards were both career-high marks. It was Arizona's first five-plus passing touchdown performance since Jayden de Laura threw for six against Colorado in 2022. Fifita's five touchdown passes are the most ever thrown by an Arizona quarterback against a ranked opponent.
• Fifita is the first Arizona QB on record to throw for multiple touchdowns in each of his first two starts (3 vs. No. 7 Washington and 5 at No. 9 USC). It's the third time in the Pac-12 era that an Arizona quarterback has thrown for 300-plus yards against a ranked USC team.

• WR Tetairoa McMillan recorded his third career game with 100-plus receiving yards (138 yards on 6 receptions) against No. 9 USC (10/7). 

BOWL ELIGIBLE: With the 27-10 victory over UCLA, Arizona is now bowl eligible for the first time since 2017. The Wildcats improve to 19-27-2 all-time against the Bruins and have won three consecutive games for the first time since 2019. Arizona has a 9-11-1 record all-time in bowl games dating back to 1921. Arizona's last bowl was the Foster Farms Bowl against Purdue (L, 38-35) on Dec. 27, 2017, in Santa Clara, Calif. The Foster Farms Bowl capped a 7-6 season that included four straight wins from Oct. 7-28. QB Khalil Tate threw for 302 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 58 yards. Tony Ellison caught four passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns, Shawn Poindexter finished with five receptions for 71 yards and one touchdown, and Shun Brown caught four passes for 62 yards and one touchdown.

WE'RE COOKING: Two of the last three victories over a ranked opponent have come at home with a 44-6 win over No. 19 Washington State at Gesa Field on Oct. 14, 2023, 27-24 win over No. 10 Oregon State and a 27-10 win over No. 19 UCLA at Arizona Stadium. Arizona picked up their fourth victory over a ranked team during the head coach Jedd Fisch era. Arizona has now posted back-to-back years with road wins over teams ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 1997 and 1998. It's their first time accomplishing the feat as an unranked team since 1981 (W, 13-10 over #1 USC on road) and 1982 (W, 16-13 over #9 Notre Dame on road). It's the first time in program history that the Wildcats have defeated three consecutive ranked opponents. Over the past nine games, Arizona is 6-3 with three consecutive wins going into the showdown in Boulder against Colorado. The Wildcats are outscoring opponents 277 to 178 this season. QB Noah Fifita has completed the second-most passes against ranked opponents in the nation this season (136), trailing Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders (142). Both Sanders and Fifita have faced five ranked opponents during the 2023 season. Fifita's record against ranked opponents is 3-2 while Sanders is 1-4 against Top-25 opposition. Fifita has passed for the second-most yards against ranked opponents (1,452) and he has thrown the most touchdowns against ranked opponents (14).

SUPER SOPHOMORES: Sophomores are at the top of the team tallies in the following statistical categories this season: Rushing yards (1st; Jonah Coleman, 884), rushing touchdowns (1st; Coleman, 3), receiving yards (1st; Tetairoa McMillan, 753), receiving touchdowns (2nd; 7 – McMillan), tackles (1st; Jacob Manu, 80.0), interceptions (1st; Ephesians Prysock and Tacario Davis, 1), tackle for loss (2nd; Manu, 6.5-33), sacks (2nd; Manu, 3.5-28), quarterback hurries (1st; Manu, 7.5), and pass breakups (1st; Tacario Davis, 11 – 1st in Pac-12). The 2022 recruiting class which was ranked 22nd in the country and 3rd in the Pac-12 has made a big impact on the field during the 2023 season.

STEADY HAND: Redshirt Freshman QB Noah Fifita continues to guide the Wildcats with a steady hand, throwing for 14 touchdowns in four starts and completing 76.2 percent of his passes for 1,521 yards with just four interceptions. Fifita completed 25-of-32 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns posting his third highest QBR of the season (181.6). He now leads the Wildcats in completions (144), passing yards (1521), passing touchdowns (14), and passer rating (164.0). The Wildcats are 6-2 in games that Fifita appears in this season. Fifita is the first Arizona quarterback to make his first collegiate start against a team ranked in the AP top 10 since Richard Kovalcheck made his starting debut against No. 7 California in 2004 (L, 0-38). All five of Fifita's starts have come against Top-20 opponents (3-2), and Fifita has been named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week after three of those starts. He has posted the second-best completion percentage (144-189, 76.2%) in the Pac-12 during that time, trailing only Oregon QB Bo Nix (78.07%) in the conference. Fifita's 76.2 completion percentage is also second in the nation.

DESERT FURY: The Wildcats defense forced the Bruins into a three-and-out on their first drive of the game, marking their second opening drive three-and-out of the year and matching last year's total (at SDSU, at UCLA).  Arizona's seven pass breakups against No. 11 Oregon State are the most posted by a Wildcat defense since swatting seven passes against UCLA in week four of the 2019 season. Arizona's defense has allowed one passing touchdown to the following quarterbacks of Top 20 teams; USC QB Caleb Williams (1 TD), Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. (0 TD), and Washington State QB Cam Ward (0 TD), while producing two interceptions during that span of three games. The defense allowed 67 pass completions in those three games while holding reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams to a career-low 14 completions (min: 20 attempts). The Wildcats surrendered two passing touchdowns to Oregon State DJ Uiagalelei marking just the second time this season that the defense has allowed more than one touchdown pass in a single game (1st; 3 at Miss. State, 9/9). The Wildcats 38-point margin of victory over Washington State (10/14: 44-6) ties their largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in program history (also: No. 7 UCLA, 2005). It is the largest margin of victory in a road game against a ranked opponent in program history. The Arizona defense held the Washington State offense to season-low marks in points (6) and passing yards (199) (10/14). Arizona's four sacks against USC (10/7) are the most the Trojan offense line has surrendered all season and doubles their previous high. The Wildcats six tackles for loss are also a season-high mark by a USC opponent. The Wildcats limited USC QB Caleb Williams to just 205 yards on 14-of-25 passing. It was his lowest passing yards total since throwing for only 180 at Oregon State in week four of the 2022 season. Arizona's four sacks against USC are the most the Trojan offense line has surrendered all season and doubles their previous high. The Wildcats six tackles for loss are also a season-high mark by a USC opponent. Arizona's two sacks against Washington were the most surrendered by the Huskies this season. It marked the first time since Oct. 22, 2022, that Washington allowed more than one sack in a game. Arizona's defense held Washington to season-low marks in passing yards (363; next: 389 vs. Cal), total offense (474; next: 529 vs. Cal), points (31; next: 41 at Michigan State) and passing yards per attempt (9.08; next: 11.35 vs. Tulsa). Safety Dalton Johnson's team-leading 10 tackles were a career-high mark (previous: 7, twice, last, at Mississippi State 2023). Saturday (9/30) marked the first time that Washington hasn't logged a passing touchdown in 12 games (last: at Arizona State, 2022). Arizona's five sacks against Stanford (9/23) are the most recorded by the team since notching five against Colorado in 2018. The Wildcats are 7-0 during the Pac-12 era when notching at least five sacks. DE Taylor Upshaw recorded a career-high 2.0 sacks at Stanford. He is the first Arizona player with 2.0+ sacks in a game since Kyon Barrs logged 2.5 against California in 2021. The Wildcats defense logged 11 tackles for loss against the Cardinal, their most since posting 12 on the road at UCLA in 2018. Arizona limited UTEP to 1.9 yards per carry for a total of 49 rushing yards. UTEP's QB Gavin Hardison was held without a touchdown for the first time in 2023. Arizona held NAU to three points marking the fewest allowed by the Wildcats defense since holding California to three points during a 10-3 victory in 2021. It was also the fewest points allowed by the Wildcats in a season opener since shutting out NAU 35-0 to kick off the 2013 season. Arizona has held opponents scoreless in home openers 40 times and held opponents to three points seven times in home openers dating back to 1899. The Wildcats limited UTEP to just 49 yards on the ground, marking the 24th time that an Arizona opponent has gone for 50 or fewer yards since 1996. The Wildcats defense held the Cardinal to just 20 points, the fewest Arizona has allowed on the road to a Pac-12 opponent since 2018 (W, 35-14; at OSU).

TOP OF THE LINE: Arizona OL Jordan Morgan is 5th in the Pac-12 in overall offensive rating (per PFF) with a 83.1 rating. His 76.6 run-blocking rating is 14th in the conference through nine games. Morgan's pass-blocker rating of 88.3 led the Wildcats and was third in the conference following the 27-10 win over UCLA. Morgan earned a grade of 88.0 during the UCLA win, marking the highest PFF rating for an offensive lineman in the Pac-12 during Week 10. He appeared in 71 snaps and did not allow a sack against one of the nation's top defenses. Morgan's 84.4 run-blocking rating during Week 10 was the best in the conference. His 87.4 pass-blocking rating was third in the conference during Week 10.

TIGHT END U: Tanner McLachlan continues to climb up the tight end record books at Arizona. McLachlan's 845 receiving yards are third-most in program history. His 34 receptions in 2022 are second-most in a single season for Arizona and most since Rob Gronkowski caught 47 during the 2008 season. McLachlan's 65 receptions while at Arizona are second all-time for a tight end in program history.

VS. RANKED OPPONENTS IN PAC-12: Arizona has played five straight games against AP Top-25 opponents going 3-2 during that span with losses to No. 7 Washington (31-24) and No. 9 USC (43-41), and wins against No. 19 Washington State (44-6), No. 11 Oregon State (27-24), and No. 19 UCLA (27-10). It marks the first time in program history that the Wildcats have beaten three straight ranked opponents in a single season. In 2014, the Wildcats won three of four matchups with top 25 opponents, defeating No. 2 Oregon (32-24) on Oct. 2, dropping a 17-7 contest to No. 25 UCLA on Nov.1, and then beating No. 20 Utah 42-10 on Nov. 22, and No. 13 Arizona State 42-35 on Nov. 28. 

DEFENSIVE STANDOUTS: Taylor Upshaw has posted a career high 7.5 sacks this season, leading the Wildcats and sitting third in the Pac-12 in sacks. He has posted six solo sacks and one assisted sack this season. Dalton Johnson leads the Pac-12 in fumbles forced with three, marking a career best. Upshaw's sacks are the most in a single season for the Wildcats since DE Kylan Wilborn recorded 7.5 during the 2017 season. Upshaw has at least one sack in three consecutive games, all victories. Tacario Davis leads the conference with 11 pass breakups and 12 passes defended. Treydan Stukes is 8th in the conference with seven pass breakups.

WILDCATS IN THE NFL: The Wildcats are once again well represented in the National Football League this year with eight former letterwinners across the league. One of Arizona's most prestigious alumnus, tight end Rob Gronkowski, retired following the 2021 season after winning the fourth Super Bowl of his career. Gronk was a five-time Pro Bowl selection, a four-time First Team All-Pro selection, and was selected to the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team and NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. Over 11 seasons with New England and Tampa Bay, Gronkowski recorded 9,286 yards (5th all time) and 92 touchdowns (3rd all time). The most recent Wildcat to make an NFL roster as an undrafted free agent is defensive lineman Jalen Harris (Chicago Bears). Recently Christian Young signed a free agent deal with the Green Bay Packers and was assigned to the practice squad.  For a complete list of former Wildcats in the NFL, see the comprehensive chart below. *Practice squad
