Motel 6 Cactus Bowl: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Arizona State Sun Devils
Location: Phoenix | Chase Field
First year played: 1989
Last year’s result: Oklahoma State 30, Washington 22
Best moment: The Mountaineers’ 31-26 victory over Texas Tech to open November showed they weren’t going to let a brutal October define their season. The win over the Red Raiders sparked a 3-0 start to November after a 0-4 stretch in October. It would have been easy to mail in the rest of the season, but the victory over the Red Raiders proved mailing it in wasn’t in West Virginia’s DNA.
