The Wildcats have no more chance of becoming Bowl game eligible this season. Last week's 49-28 loss to the TCU Horned Frogs sealed their fate as they put up a 4-7 (2-6 Big 12 Conference) campaign, much to the fans's disappointment.
For Brent Brennan, a win against the Sun Devils in Week 14 will be some salvation after an underwhelming debut campaign. This will also dent Arizona State's chances of competing for the Big 12 title.
Kelly Dillingham and the Sun Devils have significantly improved this season after last year's disastrous 3-9 Pac-12 campaign. In Week 13, the Sun Devils (9-2, 6-2 Big 12) defeated BYU 28-23, helping them secure a four-game winning streak and the No.1 ranking in the Big 12 conference.
If Arizona State wins this Week 14 matchup, they have an easy path into the conference championship game and a spot in the new 12-team playoffs. Even Sun Devils QB1 Sam Leavitt understands the importance of the situation and stated that he will perform at his full potential like any other game this season.
"It's the same as any other week," Leavitt said. "You don't view it different than anything else. Going into the same, it's going to be high passion. They're going to have a high motor and probably play the hardest they've all season so we're ready for it."
The Wildcats have a two-game winning streak in this rivalry series. Can Dillingham and his team finally break this streak and move a step closer to a fairy-tale ending?
