UAโs Khalil Tate is one of two quarterbacks to win the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week three times in succession. The other: Rodney Peete.
It appeared impossible that Tate could repeat his FBS record-breaking game at Colorado last week, but he followed up with a 230-yard, three touchdown performance against UCLA.ย
In a matter of two weeks, the Wildcats went from being the laughing stock of the Pac-12 to potential division contenders and majority of the credit goes to Tate for rejuvenating an offense that struggled at the beginning of the season. And Tateย
