It is often said that a good bout of pugilism is a way to resolve differences and arguments. And most of the time, boxers aren’t the only ones who put their fists to use to get their word across. Apparently, college football happens to be a worthy contender for the same. In fact, two college football mascots were seen engaged in a sparring session.

Arizona State University has had a longstanding beef with the University of Arizona. And it can be said that Arizona State Sun Devils and Arizona Wildcats have shared a rivalry that is both profound and timeless. Moreover, their latest clash of this ‘Duel in the Desert’ was no different.

The duo recently faced each other at Arizona Stadium. While tensions flared in the field, the same transpired on the sidelines.

Just before the third touchdown, an all-out brawl took place between the mascots of both teams. And fans seemed more interested in watching Spark the Sun Devil and Wilbur the Wildcat, letting their hands do the talking. Moreover, it seemed like Wilbur took the major brunt during the ‘attack’. This happened just seconds before ASU quarterback Trenton Bourguet threw a touchdown to wideout Giovanni Sanders giving the Devils the lead.
