The Wildcats knew it wasn't going to be easy to beat the USC Trojans, but Saturday's 24-20 loss was harsh.
Arizona was in position to pull off a miraculous comeback after trimming USC's 24-0 third-quarter lead down to a touchdown deficit late in the fourth quarter, but a missed field goal in the first and a failed point-after in the fourth thwarted the effort.
USC committed 18 penalties for 169 yards, while Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate, still battling an ankle injury, went 16-of-33 passing for 232 yards and two touchdowns. The Wildcats finished with 98 rushing yards to USC's 253 yards.
Tate, linebacker Colin Schooler, wide receiver Tony Ellison, safety Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and UA head coach Kevin Sumlin spoke to the media following the game.
