Arizona scores wild TD after an interception and a fumble recovery
Arizona provided a glorious Pac-12 After Dark moment against Cal on Saturday night.
Colin Schooler intercepted a deflected pass from Cal QB Brandon McIlwain and started sprinting towards the end zone. As Schooler had his sights set on a touchdown he was caught from behind by Cal’s Jeremiah Hawkins, who punched the ball out of Schooler’s arm and into the air.
No worries, Ariz Azizi Hearn was there to recover it. Azizi Hearn caught the ball off the bounce, bounced off a Cal player and ran the rest of the way for the touchdown. Seriously.
The touchdown, which gave Arizona the lead in the third quarter, was a great way to cap off a wild Week 6 that featured three top-10 teams losing (No. 5 LSU, No. 7 Oklahoma, and No. 8 Auburn) as the 2018 season reaches the mid-point.
