No. 15 Washington State and Arizona have different types of quarterbacks but each are synonymous with winning as the teams enter Saturday’s game at Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
Luke Falk, the Cougars’ career leader in victories as a quarterback with 25, will provide the biggest test of the season to the surging Wildcats and electrifying quarterback Khalil Tate.
Tate, in the last three Pac-12 games against Colorado, UCLA and Cal — all victories since he replaced Brandon Dawkins — has rushed for 694 yards on only 46 carries, an average of 15.1 yards per carry. He has won three consecutive Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors.
