Rankings from AP Poll

The 1995 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their ninth season under head coach Dick Tomey, the Wildcats compiled a 6–5 record (4–4 against Pac-10 opponents), finished in a tie for fifth place in the Pac-10, and outscored their opponents, 207 to 199.[1][2] The team played its home games in Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona.

The team's statistical leaders included Dan White with 1,855 passing yards, Gary Taylor with 714 rushing yards, and Rodney Williams with 587 receiving yards.[3] Linebacker Charlie Camp led the team with 90 tackles.[4]

The season would be marred by tragedy and offensive inconsistency as the team dealt with a death of a player early and saw their Rose Bowl chances vanish due to several losses. Also, due to their mediocre record, the Wildcats did not get selected for a bowl game. A positive note of the season was a come-from-behind win over Arizona State that concluded the year.[5]
