When it comes to in-game decisions, Kevin Sumlin has skewed conservative during his time as head coach of the Arizona Wildcats. Sometimes it has worked; sometimes it hasn’t. UA fans still haven’t forgiven him for going into four-minute-offense mode with 13 minutes left against Arizona State last season.
Two-thirds of the way through his second year, Sumlin has decided to go for it. He is determined to win at least two more games to ensure bowl eligibility — maybe even desperate to do so. He is refusing to punt on the season.
