Watch: 8 most interesting things RichRod said in Monday's press conference

The Wildcats return home after squeaking by Colorado 45-42, thanks to the record-breaking, 327-yard rushing performance from sophomore quarterback Khalil Tate.

From the moment Arizona won on Saturday until the Wildcats kickoff against UCLA, the topic of discussion is Tate. And rightfully so considering Tate posted what some would say is the greatest offensive performance ever by a Wildcat. 

Tate even got a shout out from LeBron James on Instagram and while it's interesting, UCLA's record shows that it's a much better team than Colorado. Tate going toe-to-toe with potential top five NFL Draft pick in Josh Rosen is a different scenario than last week. 

 According to the depth chart, Dawkins is still the co-starter so Tate isn't the official starter yet. Rich Rodriguez could fake all of us out by buying into Tate and then starting Dawkins, but that seems highly unlikely at this point. 

Rodriguez had a press conference Monday and here are the eight best points he said:
