Kevin Sumlin explains Arizona’s disappointing no-freshmen media policy

Arizona Wildcats quarterback Grant Gunnell made his first collegiate start Saturday against UCLA, and turned in a game worthy of him being named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week.

But if you, the fans, were wondering how he felt about his performance or what was running through his mind before he took the field, you’re out of luck.

You see, Gunnell is a true freshman, and true freshmen who play under Kevin Sumlin are not available to the media.

No exceptions.

Even when Johnny Manziel was enjoying his Heisman season under Sumlin at Texas A&M, he was precluded from interviews.
