FOSTER FARMS BOWL (Santa Clara, Calif.) -- With Khalil Tate assuming QB duties midseason, Arizona rocketed to third in the nation for rushing offense. The Wildcats topped the Pac-12, an offensive-leaning league, in scoring. As a result, the total has skyrocketed from its original 59.5. It’s an overreaction because Purdue not only ranks 29th in rushing defense but limited four of its final five opponents to under 100. Only two foes topped their season averages in the games against the Boilermakers. The Under scored in six of Purdue’s last seven outings. It takes two teams to collaborate for such a high total. The Boilers are not inclined to cooperate.
FOSTER FARMS BOWL (Santa Clara, Calif.) -- I love Jeff Brohm and the job he has done with the Boilermakers in his first year, but I love Wildcat quarterback Khalil Tate even more. The electric dual-threat quarterback will thrive after getting some time as the No. 1 quarterback in a camp-like setting during bowl prep, and become even more dangerous in an offense under Rich Rodriguez that thrived under his direction in 2017. Purdue will be forced into point-a-minute football, and the Boilermakers will run out of gas.
