EASY: Arizona OWNS ARIZONA STATE, MAJOR edge in recruiting

Leif Thulin breaks down Arizona’s dominant 23-7 win over Arizona State in the Territorial Cup. He highlights Arizona’s defensive prowess, noting they forced five turnovers—including three interceptions and two recovered fumbles—while holding ASU to its lowest conference point total of the season. The Wildcats missed some scoring chances but were still firmly in control, especially during a 20-point run in the second half.

Quarterback Noah Fifita continued his consistent play, throwing for 286 yards and a touchdown, while the Arizona defense limited ASU’s offense and forced them out of their game plan. Coach Brent Brennan’s turnaround for the program is emphasized, as Arizona moved from a shaky start to a 9-3 finish, exceeding preseason expectations and potentially heading to a prominent bowl game like the Sun Bowl against big-name ACC opponents.

Recruiting momentum is also discussed: Arizona now has more four-star football recruits than ever before, signaling a strong future for the program. Thulin states that both the present and future of Arizona football look bright.

On the basketball side, Arizona remains undefeated and ranked #2 nationally, but concerns linger over starter Ivan Karchenkov’s ankle injury. The team has depth and standout performances, especially from Mo Krivas, whose development has raised the squad’s ceiling. The podcast wraps with optimism for both Arizona football and basketball, crediting coaching, culture, and growing talent for their continued rise.
