Arizona football: Practice performance will determine Wildcats’ starting QB at Oregon

Skip to main content

The Arizona Wildcats could have a new starting quarterback when they visit No. 6 Oregon on Saturday.

UA coach Kevin Sumlin said Monday that whichever QB performed best in practice would start against the Ducks — a departure from his previous stance.

Senior Khalil Tate has started eight of Arizona’s nine games, missing the UCLA game on Sept. 28 because of injury. Freshman Grant Gunnell started that contest and has shared time with Tate each of the past four weeks.

Gunnell replaced Tate at different points in the second half against Washington and USC.
