Arizona's offense has the potential to be dynamic with Khalil Tate under center, but it may also struggle to move the ball against a USC defense that is far more experienced. Tate, a freshman starting in place of the injured Brandon Dawkins, showed off his dual-threat ability on Arizona's first play from scrimmage. Tate burned USC defensive end Porter Gustin on the edge, and scampered down the left sideline for a 28-yard gain. A rush went backward, the Wildcats were called for a false start penalty and then Tate completed a pass well short of the first-down marker. This could spell the fate for the Wildcats' offense on Saturday, where big plays could be met by consistent inconsistency.
