Arizona prepared for its rugged and defining home stretch by leaving no doubt from the opening gun against Washington State.
Travis Cobb returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and the Wildcats outgained the Cougars 470 yards to 187 in a 48-7 drubbing.
Arizona led 34-0 at the half and the Cougars didn't score into late in the fourth quarter.
Arizona (6-2, 4-1) controls its own Pac-10 fate, but its road ahead is difficult. The Wildcat next four games are: at California, Oregon, at Arizona State and at USC.
Still, the 18th-ranked Wildcats are just a half-game behind Oregon in the Pac-10 standings. If they win out, they go to their first Rose Bowl.
And it's becoming increasingly possible that the Pac-10 champ may end up with two losses and will prevail because of a complicated tie-breaking procedure.
