How to Watch Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl: Arizona State vs Duke

Duke comes in as a slight favorite, riding a three-game win streak after clinching the ACC title with an upset over Virginia, led by quarterback Darian Mensah, who threw for over 3,600 yards and 30 touchdowns this season. The Blue Devils’ high-powered passing attack ranks among the top in the nation, and Coach Manny Diaz hopes to cap a breakthrough season with a strong bowl performance. This matchup is a rematch of their 2014 Sun Bowl meeting, which Arizona State won 36-31, adding an intriguing historical subplot to the game.

Arizona State enters the Sun Bowl in a slightly different guise than earlier in the season, having dealt with key injuries and several opt-outs as players prepare for the NFL draft. The Sun Devils will again rely on dual-threat quarterback Jeff Sims, who has shown solid rushing ability but modest passing numbers this year, while also navigating a defense that has been tested at times. Despite some roster turnover, ASU remains competitive and is capable of challenging Duke’s offense if it can sustain drives and limit turnovers.

This is a great college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
