ASU Football: Sun Devil defense executes in Territorial Cup
Andrew Palla/House of SparkyThe 93rd Territorial Cup had its ups and downs throughout, but the Sun Devils were able to walk away with the 24-14 win.
Arizona State (7-5, 4-5) secured themselves a date to go bowling after the upset victory over then No. 6 Oregon last week. Against Arizona (4-8, 2-7 Pac-12), they were playing heartbreakers once more as the team kept the Territorial Cup in the desert for another 365 days.
During rivalry week, fans are intrigued to see their most hated opponents go toe-to-toe with their adversaries. In most cases, the games have several run high with emotion. In the case of the Duel in the Desert, the game was choppy, but never too crazy. That was addressed.
