Tracking snaps counts and Pro Football Focus grades from Arizona’s loss to Texas Tech

Arizona continued its program trend of putting together a poor effort right after a really good one, losing at home to Texas Tech on Saturday night to mark the sixth consecutive loss immediately after beating a top-10 opponent.

Pro Football Focus didn’t think too highly of the performance, either.

Arizona earned an overall grade of 67.2, the second-lowest of the season and just slightly better than the 66.9 it got from the 31-7 loss at Kansas State last month.

The Wildcats’ offensive grade (64.0) was its lowest of the year, understandably considering that they only managed five field goals and a touchdown off 10 trips into Texas Tech territory while turning it over three times. Arizona’s defense (68.6) had its second-best grade of the season, slightly ahead of the mark it earned after the 23-10 win at Utah.

For the season, the UA ranks 50^th in FBS with an overall grade of 87.1, which is ninth out of 16 Big 12 schools. Its next opponent, No. 17 BYU, is second-best in the league and 29th nationally at 91.0.
