ASU v BYU

[AZCB34]

First real test for the Devils. First road game. Which ASU team shows up? The one who commits penalties left and right and gives up easy drives for points or the more efficient version?

Just hope Chip is healthy and able to play...

That will be huge if he can play. Pair him with White and give some carries to Ngata and I think they can just wear down defenses.

I think BYU is a good team with a lot of skills, but they may struggle to stay with ASU physically. Of course, they beat Utah which gives me pause.

Some updated game notes.

BY JAKE ANDERSON Arizona Sports:

— Edwards said all running backs will be available against BYU, meaning sophomore DeaMonte “Chip” Trayanum (high ankle sprain) and freshman Daniyel Ngata (thumb) won’t be held out due to their respective injuries.

— The ASU head coach on the decision to bring junior kicker Cristian Zendejas back into the mix so quickly:

“We needed some consistency. … We’re going to get into some games where we need to make sure when we get inside the 30, we have a guy 90% of the time or more can make and who has done it. And he’s done it in some big games. He’s won some games with his leg for us. He was happy about the opportunity to come back because he didn’t go anywhere, so it kind of worked out for everybody.”

Pretty awesome look. I think BYU is going to wear white, so this will be a great contrast.

I thought this guy made some good points:

Go Sun Devils!

Call me a pessimist, but I don’t see ASU winning this one…especially if they play how they did the first 2 games. Maybe they step up big time, and somehow pull off a W, but they would have to play infinitely better than they’ve shown thus far.

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Sun Devils minimize penalties and avoid turnovers I think they can win.

They can't be their own worst enemy.

 

[Mainstreet]

Running back DeaMonte “Chip” Trayanum will not play against BYU. Neither will defensive back D.J. Taylor.

I was hoping Trayanum would be able to play to give the running game a boost.

ASU fumbles on opening kickoff. Ugh.

It shouldn't have been brought out of endzone.

 

[AZCB34]

Horrible decision leads to easy points

 

[Folster]

What a bonehead play.

This sucks. I don't get ESPNews so I'm stuck until the other game is over.

edit: I found the game on the Spanish feed. So I can watch it, I just don't know what the announcers are saying.

 

[FB94]

This could get ugly right quick

 

[Folster]

ASU looks like those old undisciplined Dennis Erickson teams.

 

[Mainstreet]

Sun Devils with 58 yard pass play.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s a big answer score

 

[Mainstreet]

White with touchdown run.

Game tied 7-7.

 

[AZCB34]

Nice answer by the offense

 

[Folster]

Phew.

 

[Mainstreet]

That’s a big answer score

Daniels couldn't throw a prettier on target pass.

I'd like to see that kickoff fumble again. I thought the runner might have been down. I'm not sure though.

He was not down. Horrible decision begat a horrible result
