The All-Pac-12 first and second teams were announced Tuesday night, and Arizona State showed up in strong form. Six players were placed on the first and second teams and 15 total Sun Devils received Pac-12 All-Conference honors. The 46 total players who have received conference honors in the past three years under Todd Graham are […]
The Arizona State Sun Devils’ fall from grace over the last few weeks is well documented. After rising to No. 6 in the rankings with a 55-31 win over Notre Dame on Nov. 8, the Devils lost two of their final three games, including last Friday’s Territorial Cup game to Arizona. The Sun Devils dropped […]
Pete Prisco earns a living writing about the NFL for CBSSports.com. But he’s also passionate about Sun Devil football, having graduated from Arizona State. Like many who witnessed ASU’s 42-35 loss to Arizona in the annual Territorial Cup game last Friday, Prisco is still wondering why head coach Todd Graham didn’t insert Mike Bercovici in […]
His team may be coming off of a tough loss, but Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly just earned a pretty big win for himself. Kelly was named the 2014 football Scholar-Athlete of the Year on Tuesday, given to the conference player that stands out in the classroom and on the field. The redshirt Senior graduated […]

As we get closer to Friday's contest, here's a little thumbnail history of what this heated rivalry game has looked like since the two schools joined the Pac-10 in 1978.
Now that I’ve seen the pathetic list of a Wildcat fan’s happiest memories (really Adam, 2011? A three-win team under an interim head coach beating a team that had completely given up?), I thought I’d share my favorite memories in the Territorial Cup rivalry. (Note: This piece was originally written before the 2012 game in […]
Arizona State and Alabama don’t see each other on the court often, but when they do it’s been a close game each time. In 1975, the Sun Devils got the win by a mere three points; in 1989 overtime saw Alabama get the win by one. And Tuesday night, ASU lost a tight one to […]
The Arizona State Sun Devils did not move up or down in the College Football Playoff rankings, instead staying at No. 13 following a 52-31 home win over Washington State.
