SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - It’s the Big 12 versus the Pac-12 when West Virginia University meets Arizona State in the 2016 Motel 6 Cactus Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, tonight.
It's the second time West Virginia is traveling out to the desert to face Arizona State on enemy the soil, the first happening 37 years ago in 1979 when the Mountaineers dropped a 42-7 decision to Arizona State in Sun Devil Stadium to conclude the regular season.
West Virginia has also made one appearance in the Cactus Bowl when it was known as the Insight.com and was played in Tucson, Arizona, in 1998.
