Following an Arizona touchdown that looked all too easy, Retzlaff led the Cougars on an 11-play, 95-yard drive that ate up 4:52 of game time.

On first down after LJ Martin picked up 15 yards on 4th-and-3, Retzlaff found Kingston at the goal line. Despite excellent coverage from the Wildcats defender, Kingston was able to snare the pass for a game-tying TD.
