Arizona, who is now 6-2 and 4-1 in the Pac-12, has vaulted to the top of the Pac-12 South standings thanks to one of the most amazing months ever put together by a college football player.

Khalil Tate has gone from the bench to possible Heisman candidate and Maxwell Award semifinalist in four short weeks. Oh, and he’s been named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week in each of those four games, a new conference record.

Tate has almost single-handedly rejuvenated a fanbase that needed something to root for, and now there is plenty on the line as we head into the final month of the season.

It starts with Saturday night’s game against the USC Trojans, who are 17th in this first CFB ranking. The winner will have the inside track to a Pac-12 South title and possibly more.

That game kicks off at 7:45 PM PT on ESPN.
