Twenty years ago, on a brisk New Year's Eve in the mountainous desert of El Paso, Sun Devil defensive end Jeremy Staat finished his career as a Sun Devil in fitting fashion. As one of just three Sun Devils who have won the Pac-12's Morris Trophy on defense, which is voted on by opposing player (Terrell Suggs and Will Sutton are the others), it was a perfect ending to a great two-year career.

"It was kind of a surreal week," recounts Staat when asked two decades later about his trip to the Sun Bowl.
