Khalil Tate may have just saved Arizona football. In a very Drew Bledsoe to Tom Brady like situation, Tate came in for a banged up Brandon Dawkins during Saturday nights game at Colorado and never looked back.
His performance was legendary, it was record breaking and was a jolt that the football program needed in the worst way. Tate didn’t simply save the season for the Wildcats, he may have just saved head coach Rich Rodriguez’s job. Did he energize the fan base? That remains to be seen, but the preliminary reports on social media suggest he may have.
