Twenty-two ASU seniors finished their careers with a 20-17 loss Saturday against rival Arizona on the final play of the game.

"Great leadership, great effort,’’ ASU coach Dennis Erickson said of his seniors.  “You start on defense with Dexter [Davis], Travis [Goethel], Nix [Mike Nixon], Terrell Carr played great today. Travis played great; he's probably been our best player.  The seniors in the secondary .  .  . Shawn Lauvao, Dimitri Nance, you can go on and on. It's a group that I'm going to miss."

The loss was a bitter end to a disappointing season in which ASU lost its last six games and went 4-8. Three timesm the Devils lost on late field goals.

"No one wants to go out with four wins, so I'm still kind of emotional about it. It's what happened though and this team just needs to move on," said linebacker Travis Goethel, who had 10 tackles in his final game.

An altercation between the two teams broke out at midfield after the game.

"It's just an emotional game,’’ Goethel said. “No one wants to lose, so emotions are still flying high. Everyone hates losing."

Mike Nixon, a senior from Sunnyslope, had eight tackles in his final game and finished the season as the team’s leading tackler.

Kyle Williams was ASU’s outstanding player of the game. The senior form Chaparral had nine catches for 139 yards with two touchdowns and returned a punt 53 yards that set up a field goal.  But his muff while trying to field a punt led to a turnover and the game-winning field goal.
