Arizona State 52 Arizona 37

Territorial Cup


The Arizona State Sun Devils took back the Territorial Cup today in Tempe with a 52-37 win over the Arizona Wildcats.

The Wildcats, down 31-10 at halftime, turned to quarterback Brandon Dawkins to lead a comeback...and for a short while he did. Dawkins threw for 305 yards and rushed for 78 yards. He completed two touchdowns passes, including a 95-yard connection to Trey Griffey at the end of the third quarter and a 17-yard toss to Tyrell Johnson with 6:50 remaining in the fourth quarter. Dawkins  also rushed for a score.

Dawkins threw two interceptions late in the fourth quarter before he reeled off a 24-yard TD run with 32 seconds left in the game. Battered and bruised, Dawkins battled to the end, as did his teammates.

Arizona finishes 6-6 overall and 3-6 in the Pac-12 Conference.

Up next: a bowl game somewhere.
