may have found a new starting quarterback who resembles a more prolific version of the old one.
Sophomore Khalil Tate came off the bench against Colorado last weekend and looked like a runaway winner in the bidding to take the Wildcats’ first snap against UCLA on Saturday in Tucson.
Replacing an injured Brandon Dawkins in the first quarter, Tate set a Football Bowl Subdivision record for a quarterback with 327 yards rushing during the Wildcats’ 45-42 victory over the Buffaloes. He piled up that total in 14 carries and had touchdown runs of 58, 28, 47 and 75 yards, earning a “sheesh” shout-out from Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James on Instagram along with emojis of wide eyes, a man running and dust.
