Arizona Wildcats Football


Enter a redshirt freshman quarterback named Khalil Tate.

What other choices are there for Arizona football coach Rich Rodriquez?

On the Arizona injury list are quarterbacks Anu Solomon, Brandon Dawkins, along with a walk-on named Zach Werlinger, who threw five incomplete passes before Rodriquez turned to Tate, who answered the call with two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter.
