It’s officially Rhett Rodriguez time for Arizona football.
Quarterback Khalil Tate will sit out this week against UCLA due to an ankle injury and Rhett Rodriguez, son of former UA football head coach Rich Rodriguez, will get the start against the Bruins.
Head coach Kevin Sumlin announced the quarterback change during the Pac-12 coaches conference call on Tuesday.
BREAKING: Khalil Tate (ankle) will sit out at least one week. Met with Kevin Sumlin last night. Rhett Rodriguez will start against UCLA. Freshmen Jamarye Joiner/Kevin Doyle will get reps and might play as well.
