Arizona State Seeks Big 12 Title Game Spot in Rivalry Clash with Arizona

The Sun Devils aim to secure a conference championship berth against the struggling Wildcats in the historic Territorial Cup matchup.

No. 14 Arizona State (9-2, 6-2 Big 12) is vying for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game, with a win over Arizona likely securing their place.
Arizona State has exceeded preseason expectations under second-year coach Kenny Dillingham, rebounding from consecutive 3-9 seasons to become a playoff contender.
Arizona (4-7, 2-6 Big 12) has underperformed in its first Big 12 season, losing six of its last seven games and falling short of bowl eligibility.
Sun Devils running back Cam Skattebo, a Doak Walker Award semifinalist, has been a standout with 1,221 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, posing a significant challenge for Arizona’s struggling run defense.
The Wildcats’ star duo, quarterback Noah Fifita and receiver Tetairoa McMillan, are expected to play their final game for Arizona, with McMillan recently breaking the school record for career receiving yards.
