STANFORD, Calif. — Arizona swapping two quarterbacks throughout a game? And no, it wasn't Ortege Jenkins and Keith Smith in 1998.
In the Wildcats' 41-31 loss to Stanford Saturday afternoon, all it took was two drives for Kevin Sumlin to pull senior quarterback Khalil Tate for true freshman Grant Gunnell in the first quarter.
Gunnell would reappear later but Saturday's game mostly belonged to Tate. The senior completed 17 of 33 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 106 yards and a score as the Wildcats fell by 10 to a frustrated, physical Stanford team.
