BOULDER – Khalil Tate had the night of his life. Going into the game, the expectation was Brandon Dawkins would be the starting quarterback for the Arizona Wildcats. That changed early in the first quarter when Drew Lewis and Ryan Moeller hit Dawkins when he was already out of bounds for a late hit. Dawkins exited the game and seemingly lost his starting job all in one play.
“I just knew when I got into the game that I needed to keep the team rolling and put points on the board,” Tate said after the game.
Tate came in and set an FBS record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 327 yards.
