Notes and takeaways from the Arizona Wildcats’ media availability after their next-to-last regular-season practice Wednesday morning:
* UA coach Rich Rodriguez on the upcoming Territorial Cup: "All coaches will tell you they all count as one, they’re all the same. This one is different."
* Quarterback Khalil Tate said he did not intentionally step on Oregon defensive lineman Henry Mondeaux last week. "If I intentionally stepped on him, it would’ve hurt,” Tate said. “Put it that way." Tate was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
* Defensive tackle Finton Connolly is from Gilbert.
