Trailing 21-19 with less than three minutes remaining, every one in Tucson knew where the football was going.
The best friends at quarterback and wide receiver are built for this moment.
Noah Fifita finds Tetairoa McMillan for his seventh catch on a slant route to open the potential go-ahead drive, but Texas Tech forced McMillan to fumble.
That would essentially end the game as Texas Tech’s star running back Tahj Brooks would find the end zone for the third time with 1:53 remaining.
The Wildcats did put a drive together, ending in a 52 yard field goal by Tyler Loop, who was 5-6 on the day.
Final score 28-22.
The Wildcats drop to 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in Big 12 play.
Texas Tech was up 15-3 at half. Arizona’s offense moved the ball well in the second half, but struggled to finish drives with touchdowns.
The Wildcats will hit the road to face No. 17 BYU next week.
