Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate is playing against Southern Utah on Saturday night.

His status was unclear during the week as he nursed an ankle injury that hampered his play last week in a loss to Houston.

Tate is still trying to recover his 2017 form, in which he rushed for more than 1,400 yards and won four consecutive Pac-12 Player of the Week awards.

Thought to be a potential Heisman candidate in the preseason, Tate only completed 51.9 percent of his passes and rushed for 22 yards over his first two games of 2018.

The Wildcats are trying to get their first win of the season.
