Can we cut to the chase and give Mr. Skowron the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week Award now? Today, we spell redemption C-A-S-E-Y. 47-yard field goal for the win and Arizona is now 8-2 (5-2 @pac12 ). #BEARDOWN pic.twitter.com/puI2TcQrpK

Rich Rodriguez looks like Skowron’s dad in this picture with the hug. This photo needs to be on a wall somewhere.

Anu Solomon has the maturity at 19 to know where things stand. Can’t doubt he will improve. He’s a winner.

Posted this seconds before Skowron’s attempt. Max Zendejas rose up to the occasion many times.
Casey Skowron about to kick 47-yard FG for game winner. Calling on Max Zendejas to send positive vibes. #ArizonaWildcats

It was a bad weekend overall for Washington in Tucson.
Nine Washington football players got stuck in an elevator the night before their game vs. Arizona http://t.co/dyWGEDpA1U

Time to believe.
We don't say "60 Minutes of Arizona Football" for nothing! #BearDown #HardEdge

To be mentioned with Jim Young, that’s some great company. Both coached at Michigan (Young as an assistant) before coming to Tucson.
Rich Rodriguez first #ArizonaWildcats coach to win at least 8 games in three straight seasons since Jim Young from 1973-75. @ArizonaFBall

This is all Sean Miller had to tweet after Skowron’s winning field goal. Enough said.

Game of inches although Cayleb Jones has no regrets.

Can’t forget about the caused fumble by Tra’Mayne Bondurant that led to Skowron’s field goal.
Tramayne has to be In the Game!!! The Man Makes Plays
