Historic performance by Arizona Wildcats QB Khalil Tate draws national attention

Arizona Wildcats quarterback Khalil Tate was so effective at Colorado on Saturday night that he continued to accumulate stats the following day.

A scoring change Sunday gave Tate 12 additional passing yards. It improved his passing line to 12 of 13 for 154 yards.

Of course, it was Tate’s rushing that made him an overnight sensation.

The sophomore ran for 327 yards and four touchdowns — covering 58, 28, 47 and 75 yards — on a scant 14 carries in Arizona’s 45-42 victory in Boulder. He broke the single-game FBS rushing record for a quarterback, and his 481 yards of total offense were the fifth most in UA history.
