Daily Wildcat editor Saul Bookman said pregame that if Tate has over 100 rushing yards in the first half, Arizona will win. He is 10/11 with 127 yards in the air, but only 31 yards on the ground, but Arizona is leading by ten at the half.
Arizona still has three rushing td's, but none by Tate. Arizona State is refusing to let Tate beat them on the ground so he has beat them in the air. Arizona is averaging 12.7 yards per completion, because ASU is committing a member of their secondary to spy on Tate, meaning that his sole job is to make sure he’s in position to tackle Tate if and when he scrambles.
