BOULDER, Colo. — The Colorado coach had a simple request after the game.
“Could someone please tackle No. 14 for Arizona?” Mike MacIntyre said.
Too late. He’s already gone.
Backup Khalil Tate rushed for 327 yards, an FBS record by a quarterback, and accounted for five touchdowns to help Arizona hold off Colorado 45-42 on Saturday night.
Tate entered the game after Brandon Dawkins took a late hit out of bounds on the opening drive. Dawkins stood on the sideline for the rest of the game with his helmet in his hand as Tate flawlessly orchestrated the offense.
