Michael Salgado-Medina kicked a 37-yard field goal with 38 seconds remaining to lift No. 22 Arizona to a 29-28 win over TCU on Friday night in a Big 12 Conference game in Tucson, Ariz.
The Wildcats (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) trailed by eight points with 1:45 remaining before Noah Fifita threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Craig. After a failed two-point conversion, Zuri Watson recovered a pooch onside kick. Following three rushing plays, Salgado-Medina connected on the game-winning field goal. Tyrese Boss sealed the victory with an interception with 29 seconds remaining.
Fifita threw for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and also ran for a score. Giovanni Richardson had 11 catches for 171 yards for Arizona, which won its seventh straight home game, its longest home winning streak since 1993-94.
Jaden Craig ran for two touchdowns and threw for another for TCU, completing 28 of 41 passes for 232 yards. Kari Ashley had 14 catches for 95 yards, and Jordan Dwyer added nine catches for 86 yards and a touchdown for the Horned Frogs (4-5, 2-4).
Trailing 14-10 at halftime, Arizona regained the lead on Fifita’s 9-yard touchdown run after Tre Smith blocked a 50-yard field goal attempt by TCU’s Kyle Lemmermann. The Horned Frogs went back in front 21-17 late in the third quarter on Dwyer’s 6-yard touchdown reception.
The Wildcats pulled within one on a 23-yard field goal to open the fourth quarter, but TCU extended its lead to 28-20 on Craig’s 2-yard touchdown run with 6:35 remaining.
Arizona scored on its first two possessions, including a 20-yard touchdown catch by Isaiah Mizell and a 43-yard field goal. TCU’s first scoring opportunity came early in the second quarter, but Lemmermann missed wide right on a 37-yard attempt.
Craig scored on a 7-yard run to get the Horned Frogs on the board with 8:53 left before halftime. Hudson Hooper then returned an interception 93 yards to give TCU a 14-10 lead with 4:09 remaining in the half.
