Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez has words for Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate (14) as he comes off the field after failing to register a first down against Houston in the fourth quarter of their game at Arizona Stadium, Satruday, September 9, 2017, Tucson, Ariz.
The Arizona Wildcats are 1-1 following Saturday's loss to Houston, and there may be more questions than answers. The UA used two different quarterbacks in its loss, and while the defense improved, the Wildcats were unable to move the ball against a stout Houston offense.Β
Coach Rich Rodriguez met with the media Monday to discuss Saturday's loss, and this week's game against UTEP. Here are the most interesting things he said.
