The Arizona legacies of Dalton Johnson, Genesis Smith and Treydan Stukes were solidified long before they decided to opt out of the Holiday Bowl. Arizona lost 24-19 to SMU on Friday night in the Holiday Bowl without Johnson, Smith and Stukes.
SMU took a 24-0 halftime lead on Arizona. Kevin Jennings threw for 187 yards in the first quarter and 248 in the first half as SMU took the four-score lead. Jennings had six completions for at least 18 yards in the first quarter. That included an 80-yard completion on the second play of the game to tight end Matthew Hibner.
