Arizona Spring Showcase notebook: Khalil Tate shines; punter catches passes and Rodriguez loves Las Vegas for Pac-12 Championship

Compared to the first go-around of the Arizona football Spring Showcase or the glorified practice, Friday’s open practice was drew more fans and the tempo was consistent.

There were two guest coaches and each one drafted each player so it was a game format rather than watching the walk-on wide receivers catch passes in drills. The format was 12-minute quarters with running clock, one winner, one loser and whichever team lost, had to eat spam and bread for dinner rather than a gourmet meal.

Friday was the final chance we got to see Arizona for the final time in the spring and as the Wildcats take another step towards next season, they still have some work to do, because a 3-9 season isn’t as elementary as it seems.
