Top 5 reasons why victory over ASU last year No. 1 game in Arizona Wildcats history

[tps_title]No. 4: Drama involved UCLA’s game against Stanford at same time[/tps_title]

Ninth-ranked UCLA was firmly in the driver’s seat, only having to beat struggling Stanford at home to clinch the Pac-12 South title.

Rich Rodriguez claims he kept his players off limits to scoring updates of the game while Arizona played ASU. Arizona officials avoided announcing the score or posting it on the scoreboard.

Stanford (7-5) did the unthinkable, not only defeating UCLA (9-3), but routing them 31-10.

The Cardinal returned the favor from the previous year when Arizona upset Oregon to help them finish atop the Pac-12 North standings.

“We knew that this meant a lot to them, but we wanted to come out and get a win for our seniors, for our team,” said Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan, who passed for 234 yards. “We haven’t lost to them since we’ve been here, and we wanted to keep that streak going.”
