In a 1-hour football game, emotions never cease to tell the story.
Trailing by 19 points with 13 minutes to go in Saturday’s Territorial Cup, Arizona State was on its last leg. Facing a third-and-7 from rival Arizona’s 14-yard line, quarterback Manny Wilkins tossed a jump ball toward receiver Brandon Aiyuk in the endzone. In Aiyuk’s path was Wildcat safety Christian Young, who shoved him out of bounds to deny a touchdown.
Before returning to the sideline, Young took a moment to trot along the goal line, sporting a smile from ear to ear.
