The extra-curricular activities have begun between the Arizona State Sun Devils and Arizona Wildcats ahead of the Territorial Cup.

There have been two skirmishes already on the field between the teams in pregame warmups.

The first came at midfield.

One of the skirmishes involved Arizona defensive tackle P.J. Johnson and Arizona State’s Chase Lucas.

The rivalry game has been updated to start at 1:40 p.m., ASU announced on Twitter.

The Sun Devils beat the Wildcats 42-30 last season and have won four of the last six matchups.

This should be a good one.
