It was another typical night on the ground for Arizona Wildcat Khalil Tate Saturday.

The quarterback got things going early in the second quarter when he broke a tackle and scored from 19 yards out.

He wouldn’t stop there.

With 9:39 left in the third quarter, Tate saw his opening and took it, running 71 yards for the touchdown to put the Wildcats up 35-7.

With that run, Tate amassed 192 yards and two touchdowns on just 14 carries, while still having more than a quarter and a half to play.

Before entering play Saturday night, Tate carried the ball 95 times for 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns.
