CEDAR CITY, Utah -- Southern Utah University will be going head-to-head against the Arizona State Sun Devils on the gridiron twice in the near future, as the two have announced a matchup for the 2021 season. SUU and ASU previously announced a contest for the 2023 season back in 2016. Both contests will be played in Tempe, Arizona.

"We are thrilled to be able to play ASU in 2021," SUU head coach Demario Warren said. "We have made a concerted effort to make SUU a viable and desired destination for Arizona recruits and behind the efforts of coach Aaron Fernandez we have been able to do so the last couple years. This will give our Arizona players an opportunity to play in their home state, in front of friends and family, as well as give our entire team and staff a chance to compete at one of the best and upcoming programs in the country. I have an immense respect for ASU's AD Ray Anderson and head coach Herm Edwards and we are grateful and excited for for this opportunity to compete at Sun Devil Stadium."

The Thunderbirds have played four contests against Pac-12 opponents in Demario Warren's tenure as head coach, and six since joining the Big Sky Conference in 2012.
