The Wildcats hosted Washington in their next game and looked to extend their winning streak. After falling behind early, Arizona found a rhythm and took a 17-13 lead before halftime. However, in the second half, things would fall apart for the Wildcats as they would commit several mistakes, which allowed the Huskies to take advantage and break the game open and Arizona never recovered, leading to the Wildcats’ second loss of the season.

The Wildcats stayed on the road by traveling up to Stanford. Despite hanging with the Cardinal for most of the game, Arizona’s defense would play poorly and ended up losing yet again and their record dropped to 4–4. Days after the loss, Arizona fired its defensive coordinator as Sumlin needed a change to fix the team’s problems on defense.

On homecoming day, the Wildcats hosted Oregon State. Arizona hoped a change at defensive coordinator would turn things around for their defense. However, their troubles continued as they gave up several touchdowns to the Beavers and Arizona’s offense was unable to rally late and lost their fourth straight game. It was the fourth consecutive game that the Wildcats’ defense gave up at least 40 points or more.

In their final home game of the season, the Wildcats hosted seventh-ranked Utah in an attempt to get back to their winning ways with an upset victory. However, the Utes would become too much for the Wildcats, as they put up points and Arizona’s offense struggled all night. In the fourth quarter, with most of the Arizona Stadium crowd heading for the exits, the Wildcats would score a touchdown to break up a shutout bid by the Utes. In the final seconds, the remaining Arizona fans chanted “Fire Sumlin”, apparently having been fed up with the team continually losing. In the end, Arizona lost its seventh game of the year and their sixth in a row, which ended their chances of becoming bowl-eligible.

To conclude the season, Arizona traveled to Arizona State for the annual rivalry game. The Wildcats hoped to end their losing streak and avenge the previous season’s loss to ASU after collapsing late.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Sun Devils would strike first with a field goal in the second quarter. The Wildcats would get on the board with a touchdown for a 7-3 lead. ASU would add another field goal before halftime to cut the deficit to a point. In the third quarter, turnovers would hurt Arizona as led to Arizona State gaining an advantage to take a 21-7 lead. By the fourth quarter, ASU extended their lead with yet another field goal. The Wildcats would finally score again with a late touchdown to get within ten, but did not get any closer to fall 24-14, and the Territorial Cup trophy remained in Arizona State’s hands for the third consecutive year.

The Wildcats ended the season on a seven-game losing skid and a 4—8 record, with Arizona fans finally been relieved from football and shifted their attention towards basketball.
