I would have preferred to roll the the QB out on a 2 point conversation with the option to run or pass. Oh well.

Not sure that is a great gamble with so much time left.

Worst call I have ever seen in a long time. You may play to win the game but don’t call a play that absolutely sucks

Really a poor risk overall. Just kick the PAT and go to overtime. Even if it worked, there is still over a minute for OSU to get in FG range, and your defense hasn't exactly been shutting them down.

A field goal would win it but I'm not sure the Devils have enough time.

The coaching on this team continues to be dreadful. There is enough talent to win more than they have.

That’s a pretty bad loss. As much as the first half of the year was exciting. They’ve closed the year as poorly as possible. I want to be fully out on herm but said I’d give him next year. But unfortunately I believe we’ll see the same crap.

29 freshman starters...including across the oline and our QB. I like Herm’s chances for improvement next season.

Herm will still be a mediocre coach next year, with a mediocre staff.
In my many years of watching college football I have found that you are what you are in college football. Short of some weird fluke where a famous alumni starts the largest sports apparel company ever and singlehandedly funds your program, there's like 15-20 programs that matter. Yes they occasionally have some struggles but for the most part are always in the conversation. And historically average programs like ASU will occassionally have a brief moment in the sun but for the most part be the same 30-40 program they have always been.

Could be worse, you could be UofA Football.

Jack Jones was atrocious. That was as poor as I've ever seen a defensive player play.

This team completely shut down after that HBO special aired, which I find ironic. That 2 pt conversion play was dumbfounding. I don't mind going for it, but to run a hb toss was insane... not a good call at all. I know the team is full of freshmen and growing pains were expected, but some of the play calls have been really suspect. I expect Herm will make some staff adjustments after the season is over, and just like we always say...there's always next season...

That was a game they had to have. The choice to go for two wasn't horrible but I fail to believe that has their best two point conversion play. If you make that choice, you run the best 2 point conversion play you have.

Now you have to beat UA to get a bowl bid and I want a bowl game for the extra practices.

Was that a planned toss or desperation when the sweep was shut down

I really couldn't tell because he got so deep to the sideline and it seemed like a panic throw

Either way, left a lot out there in a game they needed to win

Another thing I wanted to mention, Eno Benjamin does not have the speed to get around the corner at least consistently.

That's another reason I didn't like that attempt at a 2 point conversion.

They should have rolled Daniels out with a run-pass option.

Any chance Eno comes back? He’s probably a late rd pick at best but might set some records with another year in college.
