SALT LAKE CITY โ All signs are pointing to Brandon Dawkins starting at quarterback for the Arizona Wildcats tonight.
Dawkins, who suffered a rib injury last week at UCLA, is suited up and participated in warmups for Arizona in advance of its game against Utah at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Tailback Nick Wilson, who also left the UCLA game early because of an ankle injury, is suited up as well. He also participated in warmups, so it appears heโll be available to play.
How long Dawkins and Wilson last remains to be seen. Itโs possible freshman Khalil Tate could rotate with Dawkins. Tate made his college debut last week when Dawkins and Anu Solomon (knee) were out.
Solomon made the trip here but is not suited up. He has been out since Week 1.
Left guard Freddie Tagaloa, the other player listed as questionable on this weekโs injury report, is dressed. However, Christian Boettcher lined up with the first-team offensive line during warmups. Tagaloa did not play last week.
Linebacker DeAndreโ Miller, who has missed the past two weeks because of an ankle injury, worked with the ones during the 7-on-7 portion of warmups.
