Manny Wilkins has been often maligned by ASU fans during his tenure. He was criticized for always coming up short, for not making the plays of other Pac-12 quarterbacks who were viewed as NFL-caliber players. Saturday was different.
In his final Territorial Cup his team was beat in every facet of the game against their arch rival for the first 45 minutes. The rushing attack was stifled, the offense and defensive lines were getting over-matched and the secondary played like inexperience freshmen in a hostile environment.
The offense was flat, the defense had no answer for Khalil Tate’s throwing or running ability.
