Territorial rout: Arizona State blows out rival Arizona 70-7
December 12, 2020 GMT
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Arizona State scored on the opening kickoff and had a 14-point lead in the opening minute. Turnovers came by the bunches and so did the touchdowns.
By the time they were done, the Sun Devils had scored the most points in Territorial Cup history and possibly cost their biggest rival’s coach his job.
D.J. Taylor returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and Arizona State scored twice in the opening 56 seconds to rout rival Arizona 70-7 Friday night.
“I’ve never been part of a game like that in my life,” Arizona State co-defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis said.
