Arizona sits at 4-7 heading into the Territorial Cup matchup in Tucson and is in 13th place out of 16 teams in the Big 12.
With just days left in the regular season, the Arizona Wildcats have accepted a difficult truth: Postseason football is not in their immediate future. That said, no matter what transpired during the season, one game on the calendar is always marked, and beating Arizona State Saturday could dramatically shift the Wildcats’ mood.“Huge week for us,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said.
”The Wildcats’ hopes of making consecutive bowl games for the first time since a 2012-2015 run have not lived up to expectations The frustration includes not making the most of a Biletnikoff Award finalist in receiver Tetairoa McMillan after the team started strong, winning three of its first four games.Even with the adversity, Brennan doesn’t see this matchup as fueling the fire of hate toward ASU, but as a culture-building opportunity for his program moving forward in the face of trials.
