Arizona State football doomed by turnovers in Territorial Cup loss to Arizona

The Arizona Wildcats and Arizona State Sun Devils faced off in the annual Territorial Cup rivalry game on Friday at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Look back at our score updates from the game.

Another turnover by ASU seals win for Arizona

ASU QB Trenton Bourguet was hit as he threw the ball on a 2nd down and 15 at the ASU 43, and Arizona intercepted the ball, which had hung up in the air, to seal the victory over Arizona State.

It was the fifth turnover of the game for the Sun Devils, while the Wildcats only had one.

ASU remarkably punted the ball once in the game - on its first possession.

The Sun Devils either scored touchdowns or turned the ball over on every one of their possessions after that.

Arizona State outgained Arizona in the game, 537-480. The Sun Devils dominated the time of possession, 37:14-22:46 and had a 41-19 advantage in first downs.

But the turnovers proved to be their undoing, negating all the great things Trenton Bourguet and the ASU offense were able to do (although one of the fumbles was on a punt return).

Trenton Bourguet went 37-for-49 for 376 yards and three touchdowns for ASU, with the two interceptions.

Xazavian Valladay had 24 carries for 97 yards and two touchdowns rushing for Arizona State after having an injury scare in the first quarter.

Giovanni Sanders had 120 yards receiving on eight catches, with a touchdown to lead ASU's receiving corps.

Elijhah Badger had eight catches for 92 yards and a touchdown and Jalin Conyers had 10 catches for 76 yards and a touchdown.

The Sun Devils struggled containing Arizona's rushing attack throughout the game.

Arizona rushed for 280 yards on 28 attempts, with five touchdowns, led by Michael Wiley's 12 carries for 214 yards and three touchdowns.

Jayden de Laura was 12-for-23 passing for Arizona, with one interception.

Arizona snapped a five-game losing streak in the Territorial Cup with the win over ASU.

Arizona finished the season with a 5-7 record. ASU ended the season with a record of 3-9.

Final score: Arizona 38, Arizona State 35

ASU defense gives offense another chance

The ASU defense stopped Arizona on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 runs on Arizona's next possession, giving the Sun Devils the ball back with 1:33 left in the game at their own 28-yard line.

Huge back-to-back plays for ASU to give themselves a chance to either try to tie or win the game.

Arizona State turns ball over again vs. Arizona

Turnovers have been the story of the game for ASU and not in a good way.

ASU turned the ball over for the fourth time of the game when Trenton Bourguet fumbled it when he was sacked on a third-and-6- play at the Arizona 20.

The turnover gave Arizona the ball back all the way at the ASU 36-yard line after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Elijhah Badger.

ASU had been marching down the field again, but couldn't take care of the ball. ASU has three fumbles and an interception in the game.

Arizona just has one interception.

Arizona is now in great shape to run some clock and add to their lead. The Sun Devils have to try to hold the Wildcats to a field goal attempt or force a turnover. ASU only has one timeout left in the game.

Arizona answers vs. ASU to regain lead

Back and forth we go.

Arizona has now regained the lead after 4-play, 38-yard drive against the Sun Devils. It is the sixth lead change of the game.

DJ Williams ran the ball in from 6-yards out for the touchdown.

The Wildcats benefitted from some costly ASU penalties on the drive, including a face mask penalty that gave Arizona a first down when they would have had a third-and-long situation. ASU was also flagged for pass interference on the possession.

Jayden de Laura connected on a 30-yard pass to Michael Wiley on the first play of the drive. Wiley was left completely unguarded as he ran out of the backfield and made the catch.

Score: Arizona 38, ASU 35 (8:53 left in fourth quarter)

ASU football rallies from second 10-point deficit to reclaim lead vs. Arizona

The Sun Devils have reclaimed the lead against the Wildcats after being behind by 10 points for the second time in the game.

ASU trailed 31-21, but now leads 35-31 after a 4-yard pass from Trenton Bourguet to Jalin Conyers topped off an 8-play, 65-yard drive.

Bouguet is 33-for-42 for 351 yards and three touchdowns in the game. Conyers has nine catches for 72 yards and the touchdown.

The Sun Devils also trailed 10-0 earlier in the game.

Score: ASU 35, Arizona 31 (11:04 left in fourth quarter)

ASU forces Arizona to three-and-out

The Wildcats chose to throw deep on second and third and long on their next possession, giving Arizona State the ball back at their own 35-yard line early in the fourth quarter.

The play calling was interesting considering ASU has struggled to stop the Wildcats run game in the second half (and for much of the game for that matter).

The third quarter saw the Wildcats outscore the Sun Devils 21-14 as the game turned into a shootout.

What will the fourth quarter hold?

ASU responds vs. Arizona late in third quarter

The Sun Devils just went on a 74-yard touchdown drive that took eight plays and 3:52 to pull within 31-28.

Xazavian Valladay ran the ball in from 1-yard out for the touchdown, his second touchdown of the game.

Trenton Bourguet connected to tight end Jalin Conyers on a 27-yard catch to set up the touchdown.

The duo also connected on a 24-yard pass on the drive.

Conyers has seven catches for 69 yards in the game.

ASU could really use a stop on the Wildcats on Arizona's next possession.

Score: Arizona 31, ASU 28 (:01 left in third quarter)

Arizona's Michael Wiley makes Arizona State pay for turnover

Running back Michael Wiley is having himself a game for Arizona.

The Arizona starter just ran for a 72-yard touchdown to give the Wildcats a 31-21 lead with 4:00 left in the third quarter.

ASU can't stop Wiley.

He has 11 carries for 215 yards and three touchdowns in the game.

The turnovers have proven costly for ASU in this game and the Sun Devils have struggled to stop the run. Arizona has 255 yards on 18 carries in the game.

Score: Arizona 30, Arizona State 21 (4:00 left in third quarter)

ASU turns ball over for third time vs. Arizona

Arizona State just had its third turnover of the game when backup running back Tevin White had the ball stripped when trying to fight for more yardage on a first and ten play at the Arizona 27.

The play ended a promising looking drive for the Sun Devils.

White is ASU's backup running back today because Daniyel Ngata did not dress for the game.

Arizona regains lead against Arizona State with 3-play drive

Arizona's offense is exploding in the second half against ASU.

The Wildcats just went 75-yards in three plays to take a 24-21 lead on the Sun Devils. The drive took 1:01.

Score: Arizona 17, Arizona State 14 (12:43 left in third quarter)

Halftime score: ASU 14, Arizona 10

The two turnovers have hurt ASU, but it was a nice response from ASU's offense to get back in the game, when the Sun Devils desperately needed something to do so.

With backup running back Tevin White playing in the game, his fifth of the season, he no longer can count this season as a redshirt season. he has three carries for 24 yards and one reception for eight yards in the contest.

Score: Arizona 10, ASU 7 (10:35 left in second quarter)

Arizona extends lead vs. Arizona State with field goal

ASU running back exits game vs. Arizona

ASU's Xazavian Valladay left the game after Bryan Thompson was tackled into the running back after a 13-yard pass completion on the Sun Devils' next drive.

Arizona strikes first in Territorial Cup vs. Arizona State

Well, that was easy for Arizona. Too easy.

Michael Wiley ran the ball in from 51-yards out untouched on a 3rd & 3 play at Arizona's 49-yard line to give the Wildcats a 7-0 lead with 8:51 left in the first quarter at Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
