Colorado has now lost four straight games.
The game aired on Pac-12 Network, so it likely was lost in the shuffle of a busy college football afternoon.
Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita went 21-for-35 for 214 yards and two touchdowns, and Wildcats running back Jonah Coleman rushed for 179 yards on just 11 carries.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders went 22-for-35 for 262 yards and a pair of touchdown passes.
Fans on social media had plenty to say about the ending, and the game itself.
One fan was critical of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, saying, “A good coach could’ve taken the players that Deion Sanders pushed out and won more games with them.”
