Daniel Jenkins tied it on a 2-yard TD run, and Matt Scott tossed an 18-yard scoring pass to Austin Hill with 11:07 left.

John Bonano's second field goal of the night, a 24-yarder, sealed the win for Arizona (7-4, 4-4) with 1:15 remaining.

Wilson passed for a career-high 311 yards and two touchdowns, but also fumbled.

Utah scored on a fake field goal but saw the game turn in the fourth quarter on a failed fake punt.

John White had 112 yards rushing for the Utes.
