The Arizona Wildcats were without one of their best defensive players in Saturday’s loss to BYU as cornerback Jace Whittaker sat out with an undisclosed injury, but head coach Kevin Sumlin expects the senior to return for Week 2’s matchup against the Houston Cougars.
“I would look for him to probably be back this week,” Sumlin said Monday at his weekly press conference.
UNLV graduate transfer Tim Hough started in Whittaker’s place and had six tackles and a pass breakup. No. 2 cornerback Lorenzo Burns had three tackles and three pass breakups on the opposite side.
