2024 Arizona football season countdown: 12 days to kickoff
A LOOK BACK — NO. 12 TOM TUNNICLIFFE. With it being the 12th day until kickoff between the Lobos and Wildcats, the best player for Arizona to wear No. 12 was quarterback Tom “Terrific” Tunnicliffe, who admirably helped lead the Wildcats into the Pac-10 from 1980-83. Tunnicliffe, an Arizona Hall of Famer, passed for 7,618 yards in his career, the fourth-best figure in Pac-10 history at the time, throwing for more than 100 yards in his final 26 games. He was the Arizona record-holder in career total offense and passing and has the top two season totals in those categories. His single-game total of 427 passing yards (21 of 28 for six touchdowns) in 1982 against Pacific was an Arizona record and earned National Player of the Week honors. He led the Wildcats to several of their most memorable victories (UCLA in ’80, USC in ’81, Notre Dame and ASU in ’82, and UCLA in ’83) and in 1983 was honorable mention All-American. Tunnicliffe is now the owner of Burbank (Calif.) Fitness Club. After his playing career at Arizona, Tunnicliffe became the president of his father’s real estate development company in the Burbank area. Another memorable No. 12 — quarterback Eddie Wilson, an Arizona Hall of Famer who was a third-team All-American in 1961 when the Wildcats finished 8-1-1. Wilson was also Arizona’s most prolific passer in the NFL before Nick Foles arrived.
