Khalil Tate became Arizona's quarterback shortly after the Wildcats faced Utah last year, but Ute coach Kyle Whittingham knows enough about Tate's history to recognize he's being used differently this season.
“It seems to have been a concerted effort, or a conscious effort, to get him more dropback throws, to perform in the pocket, more than just athletically outside the pocket and on the run,” Whittingham said. “He still runs some, but not quite as much as in years past.”
So who’s responsible for the altered strategy? Kevin Sumlin, Arizona’s new coach? Or Ilaisa Tuiaki, BYU’s defensive coordinator?
