Territorial Cup
McMillan, Fifita scorch Sun Devils
It may be time to polish up the Territorial Cup. It could use some tender love and care. After all, the Arizona Wildcats demolished the Arizona State Sun Devils 59-23 today in Tempe.
On second thought, let The Cup be. It has endured a lot over the years. And with the end of the Pac 12 just hours away, so to speak, its resting place should remain in the Old Pueblo.
Arizona scored 38 points in the first half and added a score to start the third quarter in Tempe today, eventually taking a commanding 52-7 lead before letting up on the throttle. The Arizona fans wanted revenge, remembering a 70-7 loss to the Sun Devils in 2021. But it didn't quite work out that way, as the Wildcats scored just seven points in the fourth quarter.
It was a record-breaking day in Tempe for Noah Fifita and Tetairoa McMillan. Fifita threw for 527 yards and five touchdowns, while McMillan set a Territorial Cup record with 266 receiving yards on 11 receptions and a touchdown. Jacob Cowling caught a 1-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter, his 11th TD of the season- a school record.
Arizona, ranked #16 in the AP Poll, finished the regular season with six straight wins, a 9-3 record, and third place in the Pac-12 Conference with a 7-2 record.
