Sun Devils Come Just Shy of West Virginia in 27th Cactus Bowl

PHOENIX -- A frantic end to the first half of the 27th Annual Motel 6 Cactus Bowl set the tone for a dramatic second half that saw six scoring changes with the Arizona State Sun Devil football team coming out on the wrong end of the final change, falling 43-42 to West Virginia in the final bowl game of the 2015 season.

In front of a largely partisan crowd of 39,321, numerous Sun Devil bowl and school records were set as the two teams combined for 85 points, 1,196 total yards of offense and 17 scoring plays in a game that had the smallest margin of victory of any bowl game played this year.
