Fireworks burst beside a packed Arizona Stadium as the Wildcats take the field under the lights in Tucson

Every college football fan knows the feeling of dying inside and then coming back to life. One Arizona student did it on live television Friday night in Tucson and the internet adopted her immediately.

The first shot was pure misery. Arizona trailed TCU 28-20 with 1:51 left and faced third-and-goal. The camera found an apparent student in the stands looking absolutely crushed. It was the face of someone already planning a quiet walk to the parking lot.

Then quarterback Noah Fifita hit Quincy Craig for a 15-yard touchdown. The camera found her again. The despair was gone. She was celebrating like the game had already been won.

The comeback got sillier

Arizona missed the two-point try which should have ended the party. Instead the Wildcats lined up for an onside kick. Ian French floated it over the front line and Zuri Watson came up with the ball at the TCU 26.

Four plays later Michael Salgado-Medina knocked through a 37-yard field goal. Tyrese Boss then picked off a pass to seal a 29-28 win. Somewhere in the student section one fan had gone from heartbreak to bliss in less time than it takes to order nachos.

The network shared the clip with a laughing caption about how quickly the sport can flip a mood. Any fan who has survived a fourth quarter recognized every second of it.

Magic in the desert

Head coach Brent Brennan said his sideline kept believing and called the finish magic. The win was the seventh straight at home for Arizona which is the program's longest home streak since the 1993-94 seasons.

The final score will go in the record book. The fan reaction will live on the group chat forever. Somebody please get that student a season ticket upgrade and a nap.
