Win Over BYU a Big Step for Arizona
It's easy to overlook a consequential result when so many exciting games happened in D1A over the weekend, but it's important not to miss that Arizona beat BYU 32-22.
Arizona has been taking steps to show their improvement, but those steps were somewhat obscured by the fact they lost those games.
UCLA Holds Off Arizona in a Wild One
UCLA and Arizona clashed in a really close and exciting game Saturday between two former PAC teams.
Both are playing as independents now, but this is still a strong rivalry and the games are frequently close. In this case it certainly was, as the Bruins held off Arizona 30-27 in LA.
Arizona Riding Strong Form Into DIA Mix
The University of Arizona has been creeping every closer to its rivals this year.
But that progress has been seen in competitive losses, one to BYU and one to Cal. March 4's very, very close win over UCLA also kind of his the Wildcats' progress. But this week, Arizona beat Colorado 56-12 in emphatic fashion.
Cal Has to Work For It to Beat Arizona
Arizona pushed Cal 36-17 Saturday in PAC Rugby Conference action.
The result took Cal to 9-0 and to 3-0 in the conference, which the Bears have now clinched, but it was also notable for how close it was, as a Wildcat team that was beaten soundly by Cal a year ago were within a score with 20 minutes to go.
