Watch: 6 best things Kevin Sumlin said in Monday's press conference

Here are key moments from Kevin Sumlin's pre-UCLA press conference.

Arizona faces an interesting week ahead after falling to Utah 42-10 last Friday. Quarterback Khalil Tate's status this week against UCLA is questionable after he left the Utah game with an ankle injury, the same one that's been lingering since the season opener. 

With the Bruins coming off a 37-7 win at Cal and Tate's and other starters' health status in doubt, there's no question the Wildcats face adversity this week. 

Kevin Sumlin held a Monday press conference to recap last week, look ahead to UCLA and discuss other topics.
