Wildcats drop first conference game of season

For the first time in the 2000 season, a contest involving Arizona lived up to its pre-game hype.

The UA football team, attempting to defeat No. 7 Oregon and their 18-game home winning streak, failed to restart a sputtering offense in time to overcome UO's defense.

The Wildcats, which trailed 14-0 at one point in the second quarter, rallied but eventually fell to the Ducks, 14-10.
