If you were at Friday night, you saw a good one. No. 22 Arizona beat TCU 29-28 on a 37-yard field goal by Michael Salgado-Medina with 38 seconds left. Tyrese Boss then sealed it with the first interception of his career.

Arizona trailed 28-20 and its Big 12 hopes were slipping. Quincy Craig fumbled, Noah Fifita recovered it, and Craig caught a 15-yard touchdown two plays later. After the two-point try failed, Ian French's pooch kick got past TCU's front line, Ed Small couldn't hold it, and Zuri Watson jumped on the ball.

  • Records: Arizona 7-2, 4-2 Big 12; TCU 4-5, 2-4
  • Late push: Arizona scored nine unanswered points
  • Last week: Arizona lost 34-26 at Texas Tech

Coach Brent Brennan said "it was magic the way that game finished."

Noah Fifita and Giovanni Richardson powered Arizona's offense

Most dog food marketing lives on the front of the bag. Sundays For Dogs wants you to read the back.

Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is made with over 80% real meat and nutrient-rich extracts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains — complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage.

The project officially opened Friday with a ribbon-cutting, ending the city's largest transportation project since the Sun Link Streetcar. It connects Sixth Street with the I-10 corridor and adds pedestrian, bicycle and drainage infrastructure.

TUSD

If your child goes to Dunham Elementary, there's good news: Tucson Unified is no longer recommending that it close and consolidate. Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo cited three straight years of "academic excellence" and a recent "A" rating from the state. Dunham was one of eight schools proposed for consolidation over the next two school years, and KVOA reports a middle school's proposed closure now slips to 2028. The district also says it will establish incentives to keep families from leaving. KGUN 9KVOAArizona Daily Star

Caris Mirror Lab offers a 90-minute guided tour at the Steward Observatory on Monday, Nov. 9. The mirrors there are each 8.4 meters (27 feet) in diameter. That's a whole lot of glass.
