The UA’s Max Zendejas leaps into the air after booting the game-winning field goal against ASU on Nov. 23, 1985, in Tempe. For a short time in November it’s the best of times, or the worst, depending on whether the Wildcats win the Territorial Cup. In this case, the Cats took home the trophy, beating the Sun Devils by 3 points. Final score: UA 16, ASU 13. Go to tucson.com/retrotucson to look at 40 years of UA-ASU rivalry football games. Photos run from “The Catch” in 1975 to Samajie Grant’s 69-yard stroll into the end zone in 2014. This year the teams will face off Saturday in Tempe.
