TUCSON – For three consecutive years, the University of Arizona football has taken no momentum into the annual Territorial Cup with Arizona State.
Make it a fourth.
At least Arizona is consistent. And this year, it’s been consistently bad as it heads into next week’s rivalry game with ASU at Sun Devil Stadium. Arizona (2-8 overall, 1-7 in the Pac 12) is on a three-game losing streak, the same as heading into last year’s meeting with the Sun Devils.
“I challenged our team, and hopefully I didn’t have to challenge them too hard to know what next week means for us,” Arizona interim coach Tim Kish said in his postgame radio show after UA fell to Colorado 48-29.
Right now, it means the world.
“If you can’t get jacked up to play this weekend,” UA wide receiver David Douglas said, “you might as well not even play.”
When it comes to the in-state rivalry, a team that’s struggling to reach its season goals can point to one game and one game only – the Territorial Cup.
