It hasn’t taken long for Noel Mazzone to fit in at the University of Arizona.
Asked Monday how it felt to be back in this state – but on the other side of the rivalry – the former Arizona State offensive coordinator quipped: “What school you talking about? What? Where was that?”
Of course Mazzone knows all about the Territorial Cup. He spent two seasons at ASU, 2010 and ’11. He still has a home in the Phoenix area. He joked that he was going to spend 2018 as a pool boy if Kevin Sumlin hadn’t taken the UA job and brought him to Tucson as OC and quarterbacks coach.
