TUCSON - Whether it’s Khalil Tate or Rhett Rodriguez at quarterback, the Arizona Wildcats aren’t completing passes at a high enough rate.
Arizona’s completion percentage of 53.3 ranks last in the Pac-12 and 112th in the nation. Only one other Pac-12 school is under 60 percent: USC, whose starting quarterback, JT Daniels, is a true freshman. Only six Power conference schools rank below Arizona in completion percentage.
A year ago, with Tate taking the majority of the snaps, Arizona completed 62 percent of its passes. Even the much-criticized Brandon Dawkins came in at 61.4.
What’s behind the drop?
