Deja vu for #10 Arizona State, Bray hurt in 35-21 upset loss to rival Arizona
TUCSON -- If it could go wrong for Arizona State in this game, it did. QB Mark Bray opened things up with a pick-six, but rebounded to give the Sun Devils a 14-7 lead heading into halftime. From there, both he and WR Chris Merrill would leave the game injured, as Arizona 28 second half points - including the final two TD's after a Spencer Jack pick-six tied it - to claim an unexpected victory over their cross-state rival.
The loss is the Sun Devils' second straight, dropping them to 9-3 and costing them the Pac-12 South title due to a head-to-head loss at USC earlier in the year. Bray and Merrill's status for the bowl game has yet to be determined, though there is optimism Bray will be ready within a couple weeks.
