No. 1 – Arizona spoils ASU’s chance at a perfect season

When: November 22,1986

Outcome: Arizona won 34-17

Where: Tucson, AZ

Entering the game 9-0-1, the Sun Devils entered this one ranked No. 4 and with a Rose Bowl berth already clinched, however the Sun Devils still had the potential to win a National Championship and even have a “perfect season”. Well, that is until the Wildcats came along and had other plans!.

Arizona would come out strong in this one, proving again that in rivalry games anything can happen!

Mostly led by a strong defensive effort, Arizona would absolutely take it to the Sun Devils, and it was this game that would provide many great moments from this rivalry moving forward.

Whether it was the infamous goal line stand or the Chuck Cecil pick-six, this game was perhaps the best rivalry game between Arizona and ASU.

Although ASU would go on to beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, the Wildcats ruined their perfect season for the Devils en route to the 34-17 win!
