Arizona's statistical leaders included Lou White with 419 passing yards, Floyd Hudlow with 402 rushing yards, and Rickie Harris with 391 receiving yards.[3]
Arizona shared the WAC title with both New Mexico and Utah. The combination of the head-to-head loss to the Lobos early in the season and not playing Utah contributed to the 3-way tie and prevented the Wildcats from making a bowl appearance. However, due to very few bowl games existing at the time, no bowl involved a WAC team.
After winning against Arizona State this season, Arizona began a decade of futility against their rival, and not winning again until 1974.
