Why the ASU game is a must win for the Arizona Football program

My what a difference a few years make if you’re a fan of the Arizona Football program. If you’re like me, the hiring of Kevin Sumlin to become the next head football coach certainly brought a bit of optimism.

Heck, expectations were high too, particularly as Sumlin had a pretty respectable coaching pedigree, as well as having a potential Heisman talent in Khalil Tate at quarterback.

However, injuries derailed the Wildcats’ 2018 season as Arizona stumbled to a bowl-less 5-7 record, and a 19-point lead that was blown against ASU to close out the year made some fans irate.
