Meanwhile, Colorado have been struggling to pick up a win, with their game against Oregon St. making it three winless games in a row. Colorado took a 34-41 hit to the loss column at the hands of Oregon St. What made the loss an especially bitter pill for Colorado to swallow was that Colorado had been favored by 24.5 points coming into the contest.
Arizona's win lifted them to 4-5 while Colorado's defeat dropped them down to 5-3. In their win, Arizona relied heavily on J.J. Taylor, who rushed for 212 yards and 2 touchdowns on 30 carries. Colorado will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
