2014 Arizona Football // Pac-12 South Division Champions 2014 Arizona Football Season Review

Season in Review: 60 Minutes of Arizona How 60 minutes in September shaped a season to remember

Sixty minutes of Arizona.

It became the victory cry for the Wildcats when Anu Solomon’s 47- yard Hail Mary pass fell cleanly into the hands of a leaping Austin Hill in the corner of the north end zone late on a warm Septem- ber evening at Arizona Stadium. For the first time all night – on the game’s final play – Arizona had the only lead that mattered: an im- probable comeback, 49-45, to open the Pac-12 Conference season with a win over the California Golden Bears.

Few fully grasped what those 60 magical minutes meant to the Ar- izona program. Even fewer predicted at that moment in time the Wildcats would go on the win the Pac-12 South Division Champion- ship some two months later on the very same field.

Upon entering the home locker room beyond the north end zone, head coach Rich Rodriguez led a spirited chant that echoed through- out the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility.

“Sixty Minutes of Ari-zona! Sixty Minutes of Ari-zona!”

Players, coaches, support staff, boosters and anyone else within an earshot of the locker room joined in the jubilation. It was a proud moment to be an Arizona Wildcat.

While the euphoric rush of victory would fade in the days and weeks to come, “60 Minutes of Arizona” took on new meaning throughout the season.

The Cardiac Cats found themselves in plenty of nail-biters and heart-stoppers. At times they controlled their own destiny in the South Division, other times they needed a helpless list of things to happen. But Arizona was always giving itself a chance; it kept fighting every game and, with that week-to-week mindset, was in the race to win the South.

Over the course of 100 days from late August through early December, Rodriguez and an unassuming group of Wildcats established themselves as a top-10 team and earned a berth to the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz.

Coincidentally or not, their journey to the Pac-12 Championship game uniquely paralleled the “60 Minutes of Arizona” mantra, making 2014 a season to remember in the desert.

The Non-Conference Slate

On paper, Arizona appeared to have a relatively tame non-conference schedule. The intent was to break in a first-time starter at quarter- back, who happened to be redshirt freshman Anu Solomon who secured the starting job at the end of fall camp after a four-way battle throughout the summer. Also the pre-conference checklist was to find suitable replacements for two-time All-American running back Ka’Deem Carey, and fill in some holes on the defensive side of the ball.

The script went as planned in the opener when the Wildcats rolled UNLV, 58-13, on a Friday night at Arizona Stadium. Solomon shined with a 425 passing yards and four touchdowns, in the process becoming the first UA freshman – true or redshirt – to start a season opener.

A healthy running game answered some early questions, too, as fifth-year senior Terris Jones-Grigsby started and racked up 124 yards and a score. But the surprise was true freshman Nick Wilson, who showed some star potential with 104 yards and a score of his own.

The second week of the season took Arizona to the Lone Star State for a Thursday night showdown with a veteran UTSA squad. The Wildcats jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, but found themselves in the first of many close calls throughout the season. Ultimately, Wilson and the Cats ran by the Roadrunners, with the defense coming up with some key stops late in a 26-23 victory.

Closing out non-conference action, Nevada visited Tucson with a veteran dual-threat quarterback in Cody Fajardo. Yet it was Solomon who impressed the most, throwing for 278 yards and three scores on 22-of-26 passing. Still, the Wildcats had to hold on late, but were able to run out the clock as Wilson turned in his third-straight 100-yard rushing game in the 35-28 victory.

The Pac-12 Race Begins

For the third-straight season, Rich Rodriguez had the Wildcats sitting at 3-0 through the non-conference slate. But his previous two squads had failed to carry that momentum into the start of Pac-12 play, and his team appeared destined for another sluggish start.

Arizona trailed California 31-13 entering the fourth quarter – a deficit that seemed insur- mountable given a punchless offense and porous defense through 45 minutes of action. But the final quarter proved how important playing hard for 60 minutes truly is.

The Wildcats picked up some spark with 10 quick points, aided by a Golden Bears turn- over to set up a touchdown pass from Solomon to Cayleb Jones. Within a touchdown (and two point conversion), Arizona appeared to be right back in the game with nearly a full quarter left in the game.

But Cal answered back with a 50-yard touchdown run, extending the lead to 38-23 with some 10 minutes remaining. The two sides traded scores over the next five minutes, leaving the Wildcats trailing 45-30.

In less than two minutes, the Wildcats went 75 yards for a touchdown. They then recov- ered an onside kick and cashed it in 43 seconds later, but a two-point play failed and they trailed 45-43 with 2:44 on the clock.

An ensuing onside kick was recovered by the Golden Bears, who then took 1:48 off the clock before missing a 47-yard field goal. That left the Wildcats with 52 seconds and 70 yards to go for the winning score.

Six plays later, Solomon’s Hail Mary toss was hauled in and Arizona had capped a 36-point fourth quarter to win 49-45 in stunning fashion. With it, a 4-0 overall start and, more importantly, a 1-0 Pac-12 record, would take the Wildcats into a showdown at No. 2 Oregon to begin the October slate.

In Eugene, Arizona was a heavy underdog in a game expected to feature plenty of offense. Instead, the Ducks led 7-3 at halftime, before the Wildcats asserted themselves with 21 third-quarter points. A 10-point lead was erased by Oregon, but Jones-Grigsby gave Arizona the lead, 31-24, in the closing minutes.

A final comeback bid by Oregon was thwarted when Scooby Wright III sacked eventual Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota and yanked the ball away from him in the process. The play launched Wright into an award-winning season of his own on the defensive side.

The stunning win in Eugene vaulted the Wildcats to No. 10 in the Associated Press Top 25 with a showdown against USC on tap in Tucson. But the Trojans came to play, controlling UA’s ground attack and scoring enough to build a 15-point lead going into the fourth quarter.

Arizona, as expected, had plenty of fight left. Third-string running back Jared Baker, forced into action by injuries to Wilson and Jones-Grigs- by, scored three second-half touchdowns, including two in the final stanza. The final one brought the Wildcats within two points, 28-26, but a two-point conversion failed.

Casey Skowron’s onside kick bounced perfectly into the hands of Cayleb Jones, and victory was in sight. But Skowron missed a 36-yard game-winning field goal and Arizona suffered its first setback of the season.

After the final bye week of the season, Arizona faced six-straight weeks of action to close out the slate. It bounced back with an easy one in Pullman, jumping out to a 31-0 in the first half against Washington State. Things clicked on all cylinders, sparked by DaVonte’ Neal’s 81- yard punt return early in the game, a relentless defensive effort sparked by Wright’s three forced fumbles, and a five-touchdown passing game from Anu Solomon.

It was a rare opportunity to relax for the Cats, who took a 6-1 overall record, 3-1 Pac-12 mark and a top-15 national ranking into the final month of the season.

“Tell them... tell the team to bear down.” — John Byrd “Button” Salmon, 1926 3 2014 Arizona Football Season Review

A November to Remember

The final month of the regular season was loaded with five games for an Arizona squad that still had everything to play for. It was in contention to win the Pac-12 South and inching up the newly released College Football Playoff rankings.

The first hurdle proved to be the toughest to clear, a slugfest at na- tionally ranked UCLA. The Wildcats showed promise early, scoring on the game’s first possession. But the Bruin defense stiffened and the offense scored two second-half touchdowns in a matter of 50 seconds for a 17-7 lead that held up as the final score.

Defeated for only the second time, Arizona’s chances to win the Pac-12 South appeared to have slipped away. Rivals Arizona State, Utah, USC and UCLA all had better positioning in the standings and the tie-breakers were stacked against the Wildcats.

But the Wildcats kept playing 60 minutes at a time.

It started with a Homecoming victory over Colorado which was too close for comfort much of the game. But Solomon tossed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to Samajie Grant, and the Cats pulled away with a 38-20 victory.

A pesky Washington club visited Tucson a week later, and similar to the USC and UCLA games that handed the Cats losses early in the year, the Huskies controlled much of the game.

UA trailed 17-7 late in the second quarter when Skowron raced 18 yards to score a touchdown on a perfectly-executed fake field goal. That gave the Arizona Stadium faithful some life, and eventually the lead when the Cats cashed in a late turnover for another touchdown and a 21-17 lead at the break.

But it was all Washington in the second half. The Huskies came back to take a 26-21 lead and held a 26-24 margin with under two minutes to play. But they decided they needed to run the ball – not take a knee – and Tra’Mayne Bondurant ended up stripping Deontae Cooper and the Cats recovered with 1:23 to play. In a script of redemption, Skowron drilled a 47-yard field goal as time expired and Arizona prevailed 27-26.

With two games to play, Arizona remained in contention in the south. But so did four other teams. A trip to Salt Lake City served as an elimination game.

The Wildcats, unfazed by freezing temperatures and a steady dose of wintery precipitation, marched into Utah and dominated. Wilson, perhaps 100 percent healthy for the first time since September, ran for 218 yards and three touchdowns, and the defense was strong again in a 42-10 win.

That same day, UCLA upended USC leaving three division teams in the mix for the title. However, the Bruins simply needed to beat Stan- ford the following Friday, while the winner between Arizona and Arizona State could capture the south championship with a UCLA loss.

The Territorial Cup turned into a de facto Pac-12 South title game as Stanford rolled the Bruins at the same time the Cats and Devils were tangling in Tuc- son. Oh, what a game that turned into.

Arizona riled the capacity crowd on the first series of the game, with Wright stripping ASU’s Taylor Kelly and Anthony Lopez scooping it up for an early score. The two sides went back and forth all first half with a series of big plays, and went to the locker room all knotted up at 21-21.

The Wildcats found some cushion in the second half behind two Wilson touchdown runs, including a 75-yard score to extend the margin to 35-21. The Sun Devils, behind backup quarterback Mike Bercovicci, clawed their way back into the game, but Arizona’s defense held up on a key possession late in the game.

As the offense took a couple knees to run the clock out for a 42-35 victory, UCLA’s loss was announced to the Arizona Stadium crowd and it became official that the Wildcats were the 2014 Pac-12 South Division Champions.

It was a wild journey that saw of five of the nine conference games come down to the wire and decided by a touchdown or less. And it was a thrilling four-game win streak in November that had the Cats thinking even bigger in the Pac-12 Championship Game.

Cats in the Postseason

Arizona’s first-ever appearance in the Pac-12 Championship was hyped as a rematch that some considered a play-in game to the football final four. Surely Oregon was in with a win, but many felt, due to the Pac-12’s strength all season, that Arizona could slide into the top-four if it knocked off the Ducks for the third-straight time.

It wasn’t meant to be for the Cardinal and Navy. Despite some stingy defense to limit the Ducks early, the Wildcat offense never found its rhythm on a soggy Friday evening at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. The Ducks cruised to a 51-13 victory and with it, sealed a spot in the first-ever College Football Playoff.

Still, Arizona finished in the top 10 of the CFP poll and was placed into a New Year’s six bowl game for a meeting with Boise State on Dec. 31 in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl at Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

At the very least, the holiday showdown offers up 60 more minutes of Arizona Football. If it’s anything like we’ve seen over the last four months, it should be pretty entertaining.

“Tell them... tell the team to bear down.” — John Byrd “Button” Salmon, 1926 5 2014 Arizona Football Offensive Review

Arizona entered preseason camp in August with one main question: who will be the starting quarterback.

Head coach Rich Rodriguez played coy and kept things quiet up until the week of the first game, but the answer became rather clear. Redshirt freshman Anu Solomon was ready to become to the school’s first-ever freshman to start a season opener.

Solomon debuted with a school freshman record of 425 passing yards and four touchdowns against UNLV, and the job was his the rest of the season. The product from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas went on to throw for 3,458 yards on the year with 27 passing touchdowns and only seven interceptions. His poise and presence showed maturity beyond his years, especially considering some of the close calls and comeback finishes he and the Wildcats were part of this season.

Once the quarterback situation was solved, another big question still remained: who will replace two-time All-American running back Ka’Deem Carey?

Again, that question was answered in camp with strong efforts by fifth-year senior Terris Jones-Grigsby, who went on to gain 528 yards and three scores this season. But the surprise came in the season opener when true freshman Nick Wilson turned in the first of seven 100-yard rushing games on the season. The rookie, who battled injury in the middle of the year, emerged to gain 1,289 yards and score 15 rushing touchdowns as the featured back late in the season. Offensive Quick Hits

6 2014 Arizona Football VIZIO Fiesta Bowl Guide 2014 Arizona Football Defensive Review

Entering the 2014 season, Arizona expected to be steady on defense but onlookers had trouble pin-pointing what would be the strength of the unit. There was some experience in the secondary, some new faces sprinkled in the front six and a guy named Scooby Wright III who was moving from outside linebacker to middle linebacker.

The early returns were mixed in the non-conference portion of the schedule. The defense was playing well, but not dominant. And it was not forcing turnovers.

That all began to change with the start of conference play and it appeared that third-year defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel got cre- ative with his personnel. On passing downs, the Wildcats frequently slid Wright up to a defensive end position and filled in an extra defensive back or two behind him. Safety blitzes became more common, with Jared Tevis, William Parks, Tra’Mayne Bondurant and Jourdon Grandon making plays all over the field.

The result was one of the most opportunistic defenses in the Pac- 12. The Wildcats weren’t going to stifle you, but they were going to play a relentless brand of never-give-up football.

Wright became a national star. He racked up 153 tackles in 13 games, led the nation with 28.0 tackles for loss, racked up 14.0 sacks and forced a school-record six fumbles. He iwas the run- away winner for the Bronko Nagurski, Chuck Bednarik and Rotary Lombardi awards given to the outstanding defensive players in the country each year.

Behind Enemy Lines: Led by Scooby Wright (national leader with 27.0 tackles for loss), Arizona’s 100-Yard Rushers Arizona’s defense is frequently finding itself in opposing backfields. On Nov. 28, the Cats had 15.0 tackles for loss against ASU, the most in a single game since Sept. 2, Under Rich Rodriguez 2000, against Utah (also 15.0).

The Mun- 10/27/12 USC Ka'Deem Carey (28-119-1) dellein, Ill., product has never missed a start in four seasons after redshirting in 2010.

For one, it’s an improbable feat to be 9/1/12 Toledo Ka'Deem Carey (20-147-1) a starter from day one and remain healthy and productive enough to retain a position for four years. Then one needs team success to get into bowl games, and Baucus has played in two already. Last year, linebacker Jake Fischer wrapped up a career in which he played in all 52 games, which is believed to be the school record for games played. On the list of Arizona Athletics “Iron Men”, two names come to mind: Chip Hale and Sean Elliott. Hale, now the manager of the Diamondbacks, started all 255 games of his baseball career for the Wildcats from 1984-87. Elliott, a two-time All-American and NBA Champion, started all 133 games of his basketball career for the Wildcats from 1986-98. Tra’Mayne Turns Them Over: Arizona safety/linebacker Tra’Mayne Bondurant has a knack for making plays and creating turnovers. That has been on full display the sec- ond half of the season in which he has a fumble recovery for a touchdown (22 yards vs. Colorado), another fumble recovery, two forced fumbles (Washington and Utah) and an interception return for a touchdown (39 yards at Utah). Against Washington, Bondurant recovered a fumble to set up a score before halftime and forced a fumble to set up a game-winning field goal in the final 90 seconds of the contest. Bondurant has made those types of plays all throughout his career. The senior has nine career interceptions (returned four for TD), seven forced fumbles (six have been recovered by UA) and two fumble recoveries. That adds up to 17 turnovers that Bondurant has been directly involved in, and he’s scored five career defensive touchdowns. All of that plus he has 260 total tackles, including 26.5 for loss, to go with 30 passes defended in 49 games. Austin Ascending the Charts: Senior wide receiver Austin Hill is moving up the list on several Arizona receiving charts. In his career, Hill has 147 receptions for 2,280 yards and 17 touchdowns. The 147 catches supplants Jon Horton (1983-86) at No. 7 (136 re- ceptions) and trails David Douglas (151 receptions, 2008-11) for No. 6. From the yard- age standpoint, Hill currently sits at No. 7 for Wildcat receivers ahead of Dice (1,957) with a ways to go to catch Jon Horton (2,415 from 1983-86) for sixth place. In terms of receiving touchdowns, Hill moved ahead Horton and Rob Gronkowski (2007-08) to tie Richard Dice’s mark of 17 for seventh place. Hill has a pass reception in 30-consecutive games he has played (missed the 2013 season due to injury).

“Tell them... tell the team to bear down.” — John Byrd “Button” Salmon, 1926 13 2014 Arizona Football Game Notes

Super Sophs: Two of Arizona’s most dangerous weapons in the passing game are sophomore receivers Cayleb Jones and Samajie Grant. A transfer from Texas, Jones leads the club in receptions (65), yards (902) and touchdowns (9) which all averages out to a swift 13.9 yards per reception. Meanwhile, Grant is a versatile option that can play inside or outside. He has 41 receptions and 649 yards of his own, plus five touchdowns. Grant’s 15.8 yards per reception ranks highest on the squad. 60 Minutes of Arizona: With a thrilling last-second victory last month against Washington, Arizona again showed what “60 Minutes of Arizona” means. The Wildcats have a penchant for erasing deficits and pulling out close games under Rich Rodriguez. In fact, of Rodriguez’s 26 wins with the Wildcats, his squad has trailed at some point in 16 of those contests illustrating that the Wildcats are never going to stop fighting. The four most notable include double-digit deficits in wins against Oklahoma State (down 14-0, won 59-38 in 2012), USC (down 28-13, won 39-36 in 2012), Nevada (down 21-0, won 49-48 in 2012) and against California (down 28-6, won 49-45 on Sept. 20 this year). One of the constants in those games has been explosive fourth quarters. Since 2000, the Wildcats have scored 21 or more fourth-quarter points on seven total occasions and three of those occurrences have been in the aforemen- tioned California (36 points), Nevada (21) and Oklahoma State (22) wins under Rodriguez. It truly is 60 minutes of Arizona. The 1994 Fiesta Bowl: Arizona took on No. 10-ranked Miami (Fla.) on Jan. 1, 1994, and blew the Hurricanes away, 29-0, recording the then-23-year-old bowl’s only shutout. Arizona ran for 257 yards and one touchdown, passed for 152 yards and two touch- downs, kicked three field goals and held Miami to 182 yards in total offense. UA tailback Chuck Levy accounted for 148 rushing yards and sped to a 68-yard TD, then the second-longest scoring run in Fiesta Bowl history. UA quarterback Dan White completed 11 of 23 passes and three TD passes of 13 and 16 yards to wide receiver Troy Dickey. UA’s Steve McLaughlin kicked three field goals of 39, 31 and 21 yards to tie the then bowl record. The heralded Wildcat defense limited the Canes to a Fiesta Bowl record-low 35 yards rushing, helped by four quarterback sacks. Arizona inside linebackers Sean Harris and Brant Boyer ad defensive end Akil Jackson each intercepted passes. The UA defense held Miami to 15 pass completions in 44 attempts – 34 percent. Miami’s 3.3 yards per attempt was the fourth-lowest average in Fiesta Bowl history. Miami’s 20 rushing attempts were a then bowl-record low. The Canes’ 182 yards were the second-lowest total in bowl history to Penn State’s 162 yards against Miami in 1987. The Cats’ margin of victory was the second-largest in Fiesta history (to Oklahoma’s 410-7 mark over Wyoming in the Dec. 1976 Fiesta Bowl VI). Arizona had only two penalties in the game and enjoyed a time of possession advantage of 37:20 to 22:40 (then another bowl record). UA took the opening drive 75 yards in eight plays for its first touchdown and didn’t look back. Miami started its first possession on its on 37-yard line and three players later punted on fourth-and-41 from its own 6-yard line. UA defensive end Tedy Bruschi, whose 16-yard sack put Miami in the hole on that possession, earned Defensive Player of the Game, and Levy was picked as the Offensive Player of the Game. Bruschi was credited with only the one tackle, but was in the Miami backfield all day and hit Hurricane quar- terbacks half a dozen times. UA forced Miami into a Fiesta Bowl record 10 punts. The 1979 Fiesta Bowl: Victories of another last-second victory danced through the heads of Arizona partisans after the Wildcats closed to within six points of Pittsburgh with 5:20 left in UA’s first bowl game since the 1968 Sun Bowl. But lightening didn’t strike twice as the 10th-ranked Panthers hung on to defeat the Wildcats 16-10, in Fiesta Bowl IX. A national television audience go to watch superb defensive play on both sides. Arizona’s defense held Pitt to 299 yards, while the Wildcats dented the Panther’s na- tionally-ranked defense for 317 yards, 104 more than Pitt usually allowed. Pittsburgh led, 6-0, at halftime on the strength of 46 and 36-yard field goals by the game’s most valuable offensive player, Mark Schubert. Arizona moved the ball well, but couldn’t get the one big play it needed. The Wildcats drove to Pitt’s 37, 26 and 22 but came up empty each time. The trouble was the running game – especially on key plays. Midway through the first period, the Cats tried a fake punt, inserting defensive back Troy Neely, who took the snap and tried to run seven yards for the first down. He got six-and-a-half. Then late in the third quarter, Arizona tried to get a first down on fourth-and-two at the Pitt 21. Tailback Larry Heater got one-and-a-half. Arizona managed to get on the board late in the third period on a 38-yard field goal by Brett Weber. Pitt answered with a touchdown to make it 13-3. The Panthers appeared to have wrapped up the game when Schubert kicked his third goal of the day with 8:02 left. But the Wildcats reached into their bag of tricks to get back into the game. From the Pitt 47, fullback Hubie Oliver took a pitch and launched a pass down the right sideline toward Greg Jackson, who caught up with it and fell to the turf at the Panther one. Oliver scored on the next play. The outcome was in doubt until cornerback Terry White intercepted a Jim Krohn pass at the UA 46 with 58 seconds left. The Panthers ran out the clock for the victory. Arizona’s David Liggins was voted the game’s most valuable defensive player on the strength of two interceptions.
