TEMPE, Ariz. -
Arizona State University and the University of New Mexico have scheduled a future home/home series in football, Vice President for University Athletics Lisa Love announced Friday.
The games will be played on Saturday, September 13, 2014 at University Stadium in Albuquerque and on Saturday, September 5, 2015 at Sun Devil Stadium/Kush Field in Tempe.
"This is a series that we have been working on for quite some time," says Love. "It is important for us to schedule home/home series with schools that are located in the Western portion of the country. Our fans can travel to watch the Sun Devils play in Albuquerque with a manageable drive or a short flight. The University of New Mexico is a very nice addition to our future schedules, which already include Notre Dame, LSU, Wisconsin, Colorado, Missouri and Illinois."
ASU and New Mexico have met 28 times on the football field. The Sun Devils hold a 22-5-1 advantage in the series, including a 12-1-1 record at home. ASU has won 17 straight in the series, which dates back to 1932. New Mexico's last win was in 1942, 35-7, in Albuquerque.
The two schools have not met on the football field since 1977, but did every year between 1965 and 1977 when both were members of the Western Athletic Conference.
The addition of the New Mexico series completes the schedules in 2014 and 2015.
