TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Noah Fifita and the Wildcats defense both came up with big plays as Arizona edged Kansas 24-20 Saturday to become bowl eligible.

Noah Fifita passed for 158 yards and two touchdowns. He was coming off a dominant performance (213 yards and four touchdowns) against Colorado, which earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors.
