Arizona Wildcats CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
First year head coach Brent Brennan has had a difficult campaign. Arizona has been one of the biggest disappointments in college football this season.

This week, Arizona hits the road to face another disappointing team. The TCU Horned Frogs have never been the same after getting blown out in the 2022 national championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Arizona Wildcats Weekly Recap

Arizona has a record of 4-6 straight up, 2-8 against the spread, and 4-6 over/under the total. Arizona ranks 85th for total offense, 38th for passing, 112th for rushing, and 106th for scoring.

Arizona went into victory formation for the first time in 48 days, and running back Quali Conley celebrated with a backflip. Ending a long losing streak deserved to evoke that kind of joy from the Wildcats. Noah Fifita threw for two touchdowns, Conley scored twice, and Arizona ended a five-game losing streak with a win over Houston on Friday night.
Fifita hit Tetairoa McMillan on a touchdown pass in the first quarter and found Conley for another score to open the third. Conley added a 50-yard touchdown run, and the Wildcats shut down the Cougars most of the night to bounce back from a blowout loss to UCF two weeks ago.
Houston couldn't sustain the momentum from consecutive wins over Utah and No. 20 Kansas State. The Cougars moved the ball fairly well in the first half, but they lost two fumbles, threw an interception, and turned the ball over on downs four times.
J'Marion Burnette lost a fumble on Houston's opening drive, Zeon Chriss threw an interception, and the Cougars turned the ball over on downs twice in Arizona's end in the first half—one on fourth-and-goal from the 2. Houston's only points came on Jack Martin's 49-yard field goal.
Arizona had the half's lone touchdown on a free play when Houston jumped offsides. Fifita threw the ball up for grabs in the end zone, and McMillan outleaped the defensive back for a 33-yard touchdown. Tyler Loop kicked a school-record 62-yard field goal on the final play to give Arizona a 10-3 lead.
Arizona ran away with it in the second half.

Once upon a time, the Arizona Wildcats were a force in the Pac-12 Conference. Under legendary head coach Dick Tomey, Arizona was known for its Desert Swarm defense, which was among the nastiest in college football. In 1998, Tomey led Arizona to a 12-1 record with a final national ranking of 4th. Tomey led the Cats to Top 25 finishes four times and the greatest era in school history.
Rich Rodriguez brought the program back with bowl appearances in five of his six seasons to go with a final CFP ranking of 10th in 2014. Rodriguez’s teams had prolific offenses. Under Rich Rod, the Cats played in the Pac-12 Championship Game. But in 2017, Rodriguez was forced to leave for sexual misconduct issues, and the program has been struggling ever since.
