We knew the Arizona Wildcats would beat Southern Utah, but it felt like they needed to win big to inspire some confidence after opening the season with two clunkers.
Well, they did just that.
Khalil Tate, who was inconsistent in the first two games, threw for a career-high 349 yards and five touchdowns, as Arizona pounded Southern Utah 62-31 to improve to 1-2, their first win under Kevin Sumlin.
Arizona, which shuffled its offensive line due to the return of left tackle Layth Friekh, had no trouble moving the ball, amassing 626 yards and scoring on 10 of 12 drives.
