Best video clips from Coach Sumlin's presser

University of Arizona vs USC

Arizona is fresh off its 24-20 loss to USC and there's a plethora of questions about the Wildcats as they head into their third Pac-12 game of the season against the Cal Golden Bears this Saturday. 

Quarterback Khalil Tate is still battling a left ankle injury, but managed to throw for 232 yards and two touchdowns against the Trojans. 

Specials teams has also been an issue for the Wildcats this season and it showed on Saturday. Starting kicker Lucas Havrisik missed a 38-yard field goal in the first half and a point-after attempt late in the fourth quarter. That's four points Arizona left off the board, which was the total amount UA lost by. 

Tate's ankle and special teams woes were just two topics head coach Kevin Sumlin talked about in Monday's press conference. Take a look at the best video clips from Monday's presser.
