BYU snapped Arizona's 17-game win streak when opening the season at home when the Cougars beat the Wildcats 28-23 Saturday night.
Heisman hopeful Khalil Tate finished the evening 17 of 34 passing for 197 yards and a touchdown. Last season, Tate burst onto the college football scene after claiming Pac-12 Player of the Week four consecutive weeks in October, primarily with the production of his rushing attack.

On the other side of the ball, Arizona's defense struggled to contain BYU as the Cougars posted 392 yards of total offense, including quarterback Tanner Mangum's 209 yards passing and Squally Canada's three rushing touchdowns.
