TUCSON – Kevin Sumlin made the move he had to make. Some would argue it was overdue.
Since the first offensive series of the second game, Arizona Wildcats quarterback Khalil Tate has been hobbling around on a sprained left ankle. He never has looked quite right.
Tate was able to finish every game — and played very well in some of them — until this past Friday. A first-quarter sack by Utah’s Chase Hansen left Tate in a great deal of pain. After watching Tate struggle to escape the pocket on the next play, Sumlin decided to sit him for the rest of the night.
