About This Game
What unfolded in El Paso was a December classic—a wide-open, back-and-forth Sun Bowl shootout where neither team could establish breathing room. Arizona State struck first with a rushing score, but Duke answered with Darian Mensah methodically finding receivers: Brown on a 69-yard bomb, then Barkate in the end zone. The Sun Devils matched every Duke advance with their own offensive touchdowns, creating a rhythm of tie games and momentum swings. By the second quarter, Duke had pushed to 28-21, but ASU's Jeff Sims orchestrated a relentless comeback, tying it again before Duke pulled ahead 35-24 in the third. Arizona State refused to quit—a Khamari Anderson TD and 2-point conversion cut it to three, then a Malik McClain scoring reception put ASU up 39-35 with the fourth quarter ticking away. It seemed Duke's day had passed, but Mensah had different plans. With 2:10 remaining, he delivered a perfectly thrown 17-yard strike to Que'Sean Brown in the corner of the end zone—a dagger that sealed a thrilling 42-39 victory. This high-octane battle, where every possession felt consequential, is now available as a Gameprint: custom wall art that maps every drive and scoring play across the field.
