The American Football Coaches Association sent their All-American award to the right state, but to the wrong school.
The plaque - recognizing former running back Ka'Deem Carey, who now plays for the Chicago Bears - was supposed to be sent to the University of Arizona, but it wound up at Arizona State instead.
We will accept this award on behalf of @azathletics as it was sent to our office. #SorryKaDeem pic.twitter.com/skqnbMXJWE

Maggie Emmons, who handles media relations for the Sun Devils, was gracious in accepting the award, but the Wildcats didn't let the gaffe go unnoticed:
@MaggieEmmons Well, this is awkward.
