Anything can happen in a rivalry game
ASU entered the game 3-8 and looking to build momentum heading into the offseason of Kenny Dillingham's first year in Tempe. No. 15 Arizona squashed that momentum with a resounding 59-23 victory in Mountain America Stadium.
In an improbable fashion, Arizona State has won four consecutive games and stunned the experts and oddsmakers alike. The Sun Devils were picked to finish last in the Big 12 and projected to win no more than 5 games. They enter the Territorial Cup tied for first place in the conference and projected to make the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff.
Fifita, a 5-foot-10 redshirt sophomore, has thrown for 2,832 yards and 17 touchdowns. McMillan, a 6-foot-5 junior, has caught 78 passes for 1,251 yards and 7 touchdowns. With a big game against Arizona State, McMillan has a chance to finish with the most receiving yards in the country after finishing fifth last season."We got our butts kicked last year and got embarrassed, so it's a game that matters," Dillingham said.
