No. 10 USC outlasted the Arizona Wildcats 45-37 Saturday evening at Arizona Stadium.
Despite the UA (3-5) recording over 500 yards (593) for the second straight week, the Wildcats allowed USC (7-1) to tab 621 yards — the most Arizona has surrendered all season.
Here are the best things Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch said afterwards:
