Nick Wilson seals Arizona win over Utah with 75-yard run

Nov 22, 2014

When the weather is wet and windy, running the football is always a good call. Arizona running back Nick Wilson certainly agrees.

The true freshman broke free for a 75-yard touchdown early to put the Wildcats ahead of Utah, 28-10, and break the Utes in what would become a 42-10 Arizona win on Saturday.

Wilson enjoyed a career day agaisnt the Utes, rushing for 218 yards and three touchdowns. His performance was especially important considering Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon dropped out of the game with an injury in the second half. Wilson stepped up in a big way, averaging 10.9 yards on 20 carries to keep Arizona in the Pac-12 South hunt.
