Moore: Territorial Cup win not enough to save Todd Graham's job

Arizona State football coach Todd Graham preached consistency ahead of the Territorial Cup.

Whatever you do, he said, be consistent.

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez should have been listening.

Ironic that a coach whose job could be in jeopardy had advice that might have helped a rival win Pac-12 Coach of the Year.

Rodriguez’s Wildcats had the ball with about two minutes to go in the half. They were up by 10, and it felt like they were leading by twice that much. Score on this possession, then get the ball back on the second half kickoff and it would have set up UA to put the game out of reach.
