Bring the Juice: Arizona and Arizona State Riding High Heading Into Territorial Cup
Both teams enter the game with eight wins each, marking their first balanced matchup since 2014, fueled by strong coaching turnarounds and renewed rivalry intensity.
- On Friday, the Arizona Wildcats and Arizona State Sun Devils meet in Tempe for the Territorial Cup, with both teams ranked and holding eight wins heading into the game.
- Coaching turnarounds at both programs have propelled renewed competitiveness this season, with Arizona Wildcats coach Brent Brennan leading a four-game winning streak and Arizona State Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham returning ASU to the national spotlight after last year's Big 12 championship and CFP run.
- Arizona's front seven allows 149.8 rushing yards per game, while Noah Fifita completes just 36% on 20-yard throws, affecting matchup dynamics.
- With postseason implications and renewed intensity, the Territorial Cup carries extra weight as Arizona State Sun Devils still hold an outside shot at the Big 12 championship and sellouts reflect fan enthusiasm.
- Dating to the McKinley presidency, the Territorial Cup's history contrasts with recent lopsided results including a 49-7 Sun Devils win, making this a measuring stick for Arizona's 4-8 prior season turnaround.
