Arizona rallies past TCU 29-28 with a late onside kick and field goal
The Tucson Today team
If you went to bed early, you missed one. Arizona beat TCU 29-28 Friday night at Casino Del Sol Stadium after trailing 28-20 with under two minutes left. Noah Fifita hit Quincy Craig for a 15-yard touchdown, but the two-point try failed. Ian French then pooched the kick instead of a traditional onside kick, TCU muffed it, and Zuri Watson recovered.
