Arizona Wildcats Fall to 1-4 in Big 12

The Arizona Wildcats have had a disappointing season, currently holding a 1-4 record in Big 12 play after a close 31-26 loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers. Despite quarterback Noah Fifita's improved performance without interceptions and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan's standout 202-yard game, the team's execution issues and injuries have hindered their success. Arizona's defense struggled against West Virginia's strategic plays, allowing multiple fourth-down conversions and trick plays. This loss marks their fourth consecutive defeat, raising doubts about their prospects for a bowl appearance. The Wildcats aim to rebound in their upcoming matchup against UCF, another team with a 1-4 conference record.
