Three reasons to watch the Cactus Bowl: West Virginia vs. Arizona State

A pair of Power 5 programs -- both of which probably didn't live up to their preseason expectations -- square off Saturday in the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl when West Virginia (7-5) takes on Arizona State (6-6). Here are three reasons why you should tune in at 10:15 p.m .ET on ESPN.

Let's talk turnovers: Arizona State coach Todd Graham has called Arizona State's even turnover ratio (19 turnovers, 19 takeaways) unacceptable for a team that had been one of the best in the country the last couple of years. Turnovers were the silver bullet for the Sun Devils, who this season scored the fewest points and gave up the most in the Graham era.
