vs University of Arizona
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS from Pelican Refs.com
Santa Clara 0 – UNIV. OF ARIZONA 59 Referee: Pete Smith
It was 59-0 with the halftime score at 45-0. The wind was very strong from end to end and I would assert that SCU lost the game at the coin toss by electing the kick rather than play with the wind at their back in the first half. The entire first half was played with SCU on the defensive because U of A would just kick the ball deep into SCU territory and pressure the Broncos until they gave up a try. In the second half, the wind died way down and the game was far more competitive with the Wildcats scoring only twice more and SCU just held out the try zone on several occasions.
