It's been a difficult 2018 for quarterback Khalil Tate and the Arizona offense, sitting at 3–3, including a pair of losses to start the year. And the Wildcats' season continued to slide on Friday night.
Tate aggrivated a previously injured ankle at the end of the first quarter, putting true freshman Jamarye Joiner under center. Tate's status for the rest of the game is unclear.
Joiner played only two drives before he was replaced by Rhett Rodriguez, the son of former head coach Rich Rodriguez. Utah held a 28–0 lead over Arizona at halftime.
Tate burst onto the scene last season as one of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks.
