In the latest look back from the Territorial Cup countdown to the 100th UA-ASU football rivalry matchup, the Arizona Daily Star is revisiting the 1931 game that gave Tempe Teachers a long-awaited breakthrough over Arizona. The Star’s Aug. 31, 2026 republishing notes frame this as Game 11 in the series, and the headline says it plainly: Tempe finally broke through against its rival.

For Valley fans, this is the kind of game that helps explain how a rivalry gets its edge. A first win in a series doesn’t just add one result to the record book — it changes the mood around the matchup and gives the underdog a foothold to build on. That’s what makes this 1931 meeting worth another look as the countdown to the 100th game continues.

The republished Arizona Daily Star piece is part of a daily series revisiting each rivalry game leading up to the Nov. 28 matchup in Tucson, according to the Star’s editor’s note.

Diamondbacks’ slide is real, and Carroll’s MRI only sharpens the alarm

I think this is the kind of loss that stings twice: once in the standings, and once because Corbin Carroll’s back is now part of the story.
