Rocky Balboa chased a chicken around a pen for agility training. He looked ridiculous falling over something running aimlessly. This is a good metaphor for the way Arizona played against Arizona State on Thursday night in a 2-1 win.
This season Arizona has been able to show their talent on the field. Their attack against the California and Washington schools has been organized and fast, but during the Thursday nights game against ASU, Arizona was unable to do so.
The Sun Devils packed the midfield and dropped their defense deep. The Wildcats didn’t keep shape very well, and were frequently out of position.
