Listen "Wildcats' heartbreaker, lightning delay, and looking ahead to Houston - Tucson Local Pulse Sunday Update"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, October 12th, 2025.What a night for Arizona football fans. The Wildcats fell just short in a heartbreaking double overtime loss to number 18 BYU at Arizona Stadium, going down 33 to 27. After erasing a 14 point first quarter deficit and scoring 24 unanswered points, Arizona couldn't seal the deal when it mattered most. Noah Fifita's fourth down pass fell incomplete in the back of the end zone in the second overtime, ending what was truly a battle. Head coach Brent Brennan praised the team's heart, saying they battled the first place Big 12 team and never backed down. The loss stings especially because Arizona had multiple chances to ice the game, including a touchdown that was called back due to a holding penalty in overtime. The night also featured a 75 minute weather delay between the first and second quarters due to lightning, only the second such delay at Arizona Stadium since 2009. The Wildcats head to Houston next Saturday for a morning kickoff at 9 AM.Speaking of weather, that lightning delay reminds us to stay alert today. We're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures climbing into the mid 80s this afternoon. There's a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms later this evening, so keep an eye on the sky if you're planning outdoor activities. The rest of the week looks clear and comfortable with highs in the low 80s.On the community front, Arizona Stadium saw an electric atmosphere last night despite the outcome, with fans sticking it out through the weather delay and two overtime periods. That kind of dedication shows what Tucson sports culture is all about. Kris Hutson, the Washington State transfer, had a standout performance with nine receptions for 106 yards, giving fans something to cheer about even in defeat.Looking ahead to the coming week, the Wildcats will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for that early morning road game in Houston. For those planning to watch, set those alarms for an early Saturday wake up call.As we wrap up this Sunday morning, remember that while last night's game didn't go our way, there's plenty of football left in the season. The team showed resilience and fight, qualities that will serve them well moving forward.Thank you for tuning in this morning.
