TUCSON, Arizona — Michael Salgado-Medina drilled a 37-yard field goal in the final moments to lift the Arizona Wildcats to a 29-28 comeback victory over the TCU Horned Frogs on Thursday night at Casino Del Sol Stadium.
The senior kicker, wearing No. 19, provided the decisive points as Arizona rallied from a late deficit to secure the win before a home crowd. The Wildcats' triumph snapped a tight contest that saw the lead change hands in the closing minutes.
Salgado-Medina's kick came after Arizona's offense drove into field-goal range in the waning seconds, setting up the game-winning attempt. The Horned Frogs had taken a 28-26 lead earlier in the fourth quarter, but the Wildcats responded with a methodical march downfield.
The victory improves Arizona's record on the season and marks a significant conference win. TCU falls despite a strong performance that kept them in contention until the final play.
