since 1991 have resulted in ASU's favor 19-14.

ASU holds a three game (10-7) edge in games played in Tempe and a two game (9-7) edge in Tucson.

Time to even the home/away results out with another win in Tucson.

Over the last 3+ decades, which one of the games (one in Tempe and one in Tucson) sticks out to you the most?

For me, the 1995 loss at SDS still stings...We were the favored team with a 6-4 record going in, up by 2 TDs with 6 minutes to go, and all hell breaks loose. We drop the game by a last-minute FG and get left out of the Independence Bowl (bowl representatives on the field and ready to extend an offer to ASU). That would have been ASU's first bowl game since 1987. What was even more painful about the outcome was that ASU had lost by a point in Tucson the year before on a missed last second FG by John Baker. The best win was the 2010 win in Tucson, a double OT/double extra point block game that ASU pulled out, miraculously. I still remember the feel of that monster roar from the ASU section (17) after James Brooks's heroics, which had me lift up my 200lb buddy a couple of feet off the bleachers where everyone was standing to watch the action at the other end of the stadium.

One last thing, I did not have to look up who won these last 33 games and wouldn't have to going back another decade either. That is how much these games mean to most of us ASU football fans.
