New head football coach Kevin Sumlin talks with a few fans that showed up at the kick-off of the University of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s Athletics Road Tour at the Eddie Lynch Pavilion, Thursday, April 26, 2018.
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ is 0-2 for the first time in 37 years, but Kevin Sumlin and the Wildcats aren't pushing the panic button.Â
After being routed 45-18 by Houston last Saturday, UA still has a handful of questions that still need to be answered. Against Houston, star quarterback Khalil Tate had eight rushing yards on seven attempts, but managed throw for 341 yards. Tate injured his left ankle, but is expected to play on Saturday.
Through two games, ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ also hasn't recorded a sack and the only tackles for loss are from the linebackers.Â
Fortunately for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, it will end its non-conference slate at home this Saturday against Southern Utah with left tackle Layth Friekh back in the starting lineup. Friekh missed the first two games after the NCAA granted him an additional season of eligibility.Â
How will the Cats respond? That remains to be seen. Head coach Kevin Sumlin held a press conference Monday afternoon, here's what he had to say. Â
