For many, the lasting images of Khalil Tate’s 2018 season is the collapse against Arizona State in the Territorial Cup.
First there was the ill-fated interception when he probably could have run for a huge first down, one that led to an ASU field goal. The very next drive featured the lost fumble on a handoff to J.J. Taylor, which the Devils needed all of one offensive play to turn into the game-winning touchdown.
Amazingly, had Tate connected on a ridiculous deep ball to Shun Brown, Stanley Berryhill III held onto a pass in the end zone or Josh Pollack made a 45-yard field goal, the conversation would have centered around how Tate and the Cats rebounded from their miscues and found a way to win a big game.
