The world was officially introduced to Khalil Tate on Oct. 7, 2017 at Colorado when the sophomore broke the FBS single-game rushing record for a quarterback with 327 yards. Tate entered the game in Boulder in the first quarter when Brandon Dawkins exited with an injury. Fourteen carries and five touchdowns later, Tate etched his name in the record books with an unforgettable performance.
Tate lifted Arizona to a 45-42 win over Colorado in what was the start of a four-game winning streak for the football team. The performance against the Buffaloes was only the beginning for Tate who garnered Heisman attention in late October and proved to be one of the most electrifying college football players in 2017.
