TEMPE, AZ (AP) — The Territorial Cup will be brimming with juice this year.
A rivalry dating to the McKinley presidency will take a massive uptick in intensity on Friday night, when Arizona faces Arizona State in one of the most anticipated Territorial Cup games in a decade.
Both teams are on the upswing, both still have plenty to play for and, yes, they still don’t like each other.
“Rivalry games have so much to them that make them so fun and exciting, but when you have two teams coming together that are both playing good football, it adds a little extra juice to it,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said.
The Territorial Cup has been dotted with lopsided wins in recent years — the latest, Arizona State’s 49-7 win in Tucson — as the programs have labored to find a consistent footing.
