Arizona Wildcats quarterback Brandon Dawkins has his share of detractors. Much of the criticism, particularly about his accuracy as a passer, is valid.
But it’s inaccurate to portray Dawkins as turnover-prone. The three interceptions he threw against Utah on Sept. 22 marked a career high. They were his first picks of the season. Only twice previously had he thrown two interceptions in a game: against Utah last year and against Arizona State in 2015, his first extended playing time as a collegian.
Dawkins generally has managed games well. The Utah game — a six-point loss in which he also fumbled — stands as the exception.
