ARIZONA DEFEATS BUFFS AT BUZZER

Michigan running back Blake Corum (2) scores a touchdown against Penn State on Saturday.

Arizona coach Jedd Fisch was out of breath as he emerged from the locker room. All that dancing with his players left him drained.

So did a game in which the Wildcats didn't lead until the final snap.

Tyler Loop connected on a 24-yard field goal with no time remaining, and No. 21 Arizona rallied to beat Colorado 34-31 on Saturday at sold-out Folsom Field.

Jonah Coleman rushed for 179 yards as the Wildcats (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12) earned their fourth consecutive victory.

Fisch has the Wildcats bowl-eligible in his third season in charge. So he understands the plight of first-year Colorado coach Deion Sanders, who is trying to turn around a program that went 111 a season ago.

“I would not be worried if I was a Colorado fan,” Fisch said. “They have a fantastic head coach that is going to do just great.”

Arizona trailed 24-17 at the break, and didn't take its first lead until Loop's field goal. The Wildcats are 13-74 when trailing at halftime in the Pac-12 era, according to league research.

“Always hard to win on the road,” Coleman said, “in the atmosphere like this.”

Shedeur Sanders ran for a score and threw for two more as the Buffaloes (4-6, 1-6) lost for the sixth time in seven games since a 3-0 start. Sanders also finished with 262 yards passing to go over the 10,000-yard mark for his career.

“We could have won the darn game. I like that we should have won. I'm tired of we could've won,” said coach Deion Sanders, whose team had 11 penalties for 83 yards. “There ain't no lose in me. It

don't sit well with me. It don't rock well with me. It don't lay down with me. I have no lose in me.”

Colorado kicker Alejandro Mata missed a 44-yard field goal to the right with 4:57 remaining.

No. 12 Oregon St. 62, Stanford 17: Damien Martinez ran for 146 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to lead Oregon State to a victory over Stanford at home. Martinez, the Pac-12 freshman Offensive Player of the Year last year, surpassed 1,000 yards for the season and did most of his damage in the first half with 136 rushing yards and all four touchdowns, including a 59-yard score in the first quarter.

The Beavers (8-2, 5-2) kept their Pac-12 championship game hopes intact and extended their home winning streak to nine games.

Stanford (3-7, 2-6), which was coming off a 10-7 win at Washington State and played No. 5 Washington close at home two weeks ago, couldn't keep up with the Beavers' bigplay offense.

Cal 42, Washington St. 39: California's defense had its best game of the season, returning two fumbles for touchdowns and recording a season-high six sacks as the host Golden Bears (4-6, 2-5) beat Washington State (4-6, 1-6) to end a four-game losing streak and keep their slim bowl hopes alive.

Washington State kicker Dean Janikowski missed a pair of field goal attempts in the fourth quarter, including a 48-yarder that was wide left with 50 seconds remaining.
