Watch: 7 best things Kevin Sumlin said in pre-Oregon press conference
Most important moment from Kevin Sumlin's Monday press conference.
Homecoming week against the Ducks
UpdatedHeading into the season, it'd be hard to find someone that thought Arizona would be 3-5 heading into the latter part of the season, but here we are. The Wildcats are fresh off their 31-30 loss to UCLA after quarterback Rhett Rodriguez started his first collegiate game in place of Khalil Tate who was held out for a lingering ankle injury.
This week, Arizona hosts Oregon for homecoming and the Ducks are coming off a road loss to Washington State.
Kevin Sumlin held a press conference Monday afternoon to discuss Rodriguez's performance, Tate's status and other topics. Here's what Sumlin had to say.
