Manny Wilkins threw three touchdown passes and Arizona State ran for three more as the Sun Devils came from behind to defeat Arizona 42-30 in the annual Territorial Cup rivalry game on Saturday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz.

While ASU (7-5, 6-3 Pac-12) found consistency on offense, Arizona (7-5, 5-4) couldn't as it imploded in the second half behind an uncertain quarterback situation and a punting game that has been inconsistent all season. ASU took advantage of all of it.

Wilkins completed 11 of 17 passes for 163 yards.

Arizona, up 24-14, opened the second half with junior quarterback Brandon Dawkins, who lost his starting job in early October. Arizona starter Khalil Tate was seen favoring his left non-throwing shoulder as he left to the locker room at halftime, but he did make a brief second-half appearance before again leaving the game.

Arizona went three-and-out on its first possession of the second half, and then had its punt blocked in a momentum-changing moment. ASU turned into the possession into a touchdown when Demario Richard scored from the 1-yard line to make it 24-21

ASU intercepted Dawkins on the ensuing drive, and Sun Devils scored on 5-yard touchdown pass from Wilkins to N'Keal Harry. It was ASU's first lead of the game, 28-24 with 8:50 left in the third quarter.

Tate returned to the game but Arizona could not move the ball on its next possession. ASU then went up 35-24 with a 6-yard run by Richard.

Richard rushed for 165 yards and is the fifth ASU running back to surpass 3,000 yards in a career. He has 3,152 yards.

Dawkins, who returned late into the third quarter, scored on a 50-yard run to make it 35-30 with 13 minutes left in the game. Arizona failed on the 2-point conversion.

Arizona State put the game away on a 9-yard scoring pass from Wilkins to Harry with 4:51 left.

Arizona scored on its first two possessions to go up 14-0. ASU closed the gap to 17-14 but fell behind by 10 when Wildcats running back J.J. Taylor made a nice cut to score from the 15-yard line.

Arizona State had a chance to score just before the half, but cornerback Lorenzo Burns picked off Wilkins with a minute left.

Tate completed 10 consecutive passes for 127 yards in the first half. His lone incompletion came on a Hail Mary pass to end the half.
