In one of the biggest and oldest rivalries in the southwest, the ASU UofA (or I guess UArizona now) game was a spectacle to watch. ASU came into the game 6-5 and the Wildcats 4-7, but everyone knows that season records are irrelevant, the only game matters is the rivalry game.
It was an exciting first half. Both teams came out in a fleury of offensive attacks and good defensive stops, giving only a score of 7 to 6 by the half. The second half is where it really turned up for the Sun devils. Jack Jones had two big interceptions, along with an interception from Merlin Robertson, to halt the Wildcat's momentum during the game and give more time on the field for the Sun Devil offense to progress the lead.
Jayden Daniels had himself a great game, throwing 12/19 with 104 yards that night. A huge milestone for running back Eno Benjamin, having his second consecutive year with 1000+ rushing yards.
A bold and somewhat shock to the team was about 24 hours after the game, offensive coordinator and quarterback coach, Rob Likens, was fired from the team. Additionally, wide receiver coach Charlie Fisher, and tight end coach Donnie Yantis were in fact not fired, but their contracts are expiring and no information has given confirming their contract renewal. Coach Herm Edwards recently added former Oregon analyst, Prentice Gill, to the staff this week. Safe to say some big changes are happening for the Sun Devil's offense, but it looks like it's all for the best.
In other news, the Sun Devils progress to a 7-5 record, with a bowl game on the way this winter break. Rumor has it ASU may play in the Sun Bowl, but there is a slight possibility they may play in the Holiday Bowl or the Cheez-it Bowl. Their opponent is still being decided, but bowl predictions have the Sun Devils facing Wake Forest, but a lot may change in the last few weeks of college football.
