Arizona retains Territorial Cup with 20-17 win over Arizona State

Arizona should have crushed Arizona State for the 2009 Territorial Cup, but this is a rivalry game. And, as with many rivalry games, this one proved to be a good one no matter how much better one team seems to be over another.

The Wildcats came out and started off well. They opened up a 14-0 lead and many thought it was all over. any thought this was going to be one boring game.

But that wasn’t the case. This game kept me intrigued and it didn’t let me down when time was ticking away.

The Sun Devils didn’t lose the fight that was in them. They didn’t lower their heads and give up. Instead, they fought back, made some adjustments and made a game if it. The team’s number two ranked defense kept the Wildcats in check and really set their team up for a win.

But, with 1:10 left to play in the game and the game tied 17-17, Arizona State’s Kyle Williams fumbled a punt return which was recovered by Arizona on the Sun Devil’s 22-yard line leaving a short field for Arizona to finally put this game away.

After three offensive plays, kicker Alex Zendejas came in to kick a game winning 32 yarder — ‘Cats win.
