All week, Star columnist Greg Hansen has been counting down the five best Territorial Cup games of all time. Time to unveil No. 1:
Date: Nov. 28, 2014
Location: Arizona Stadium, Tucson
Score: Arizona 42, ASU 35
What went down: With the Pac-12 South championship at stake — both teams were 9-2 overall — the No. 12 Wildcats shot to a 7-0 lead when All-American linebacker Scooby Wright forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown on the game’s first series and built a 42-28 lead late in the fourth quarter.
Today as yesterday, win or lose, the show goes on in college football, be it 1-11 or 11-1.
