Running back Shane Vereen had an outstanding effort in the loss, carrying the ball 19 times for 198 yards and three touchdowns.

The Wildcats come into this conference tilt with a 3-0 record after beating then ninth ranked Iowa 34-27 on Saturday night. Arizona finished the game with 366 total yards, despite committing 12 penalties and three turnovers.
Quarterback Nick Foles threw a costly fourth quarter interception that the Hawkeyes returned for a touchdown, tying the game at 27-27; however, the junior signal caller responded by directing Arizona on a nine play, 72 yard scoring drive with 3:57 left in the game.
