Series History

West Virginia and Arizona State have only met twice previously, and this will be the first time they'll meet as Big 12 Conference foes. The Sun Devils won in dominating fashion in the first meeting, winning 42-7 all the way back in 1979, the final year of the Frank Cignetti era.

The last clash was in the 2016 Motel 6 Cactus Bowl, which was played at the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. That one was an absolute shootout that was full of explosive plays and a dynamite finish with WVU winning 43-42. Quarterback Skyler Howard threw for 532 yards (school record for a bowl game) and five touchdowns. With just a little over two minutes remaining, Howard hit David Sills V for a 15-yard touchdown pass, which would end up being the game-winning score.

The Mountaineers and Sun Devils will get the action started at 1 p.m. ET on TNT/HBO MAX. Following the game, be sure to stop over to our YouTube page (West Virginia On SI) for the Mountaineer Postgame Show with former WVU running back Eugene Napoleon and me. We'll offer our initial thoughts on what went down in the desert and discuss what needs to be fixed moving forward.
