ASU @ #15 California 7PM Friday on ESPN

[AZCB34]

50 yard FG miss is really not in Zendejas' range.

 

[AZCB34]

How do they pick up that flag?? Elbow up to the head and then he jumps on him after the play is over?

 

[Mainstreet]

Big interception in the endzone by the Devils.

Halftime score tied 7-7.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Oh yeah interception perfect

 

[Absolute Zero]

Seems a bit like the Michigan State game except for the missed field goals

 

[Mainstreet]

If Hodges catches that open pass or Zendejas hits one or two of those field goals the Devils could have been up at the half.

It's those frustrating things that can happen in a football game.

 

[AZCB34]

ASU better not have Cardinals-itis

Side effects can include losing to backup QBs.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Is Garbers injured?

 

[Mainstreet]

Is Garbers injured?

He went out late in the first half after landing on his shoulder/arm. I'm not sure if he will be back or not.

Their backup QB threw that interception.

 

[FB94]

Hey Herm please tell the defense the second half started. Backup QB in and we come out flat as hell

 

[Mainstreet]

And the Devils run it down the field for a touchdown.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Devils need to score here.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

15 play drive for a TD to take the lead. Clutch.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Devils win 24-17. Good game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Sun Devils are going to win this game 24-17.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Ya baby

 

[Raindog]

Nice win - and true to ASU's Jekyll and Hyde week-to-week identity. As I posted earlier, Cal is massively overrated.

We will get a better measure of how the Devils are progressing in two weeks against WSU, as that will correspond to their typical letdown game right after a big win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Eno Benjamin with 3 touchdowns and around 100 yards rushing. Tough running tonight young man.

Jayden Daniels was 14/24 for 174 yards passing.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Good win.

But before everyone gets too high or calls Cal overrated losing your QB in the first half is tough to overcome for almost all but the elite college teams.l or revered programs. Only the Alabamas, USCs, Georgia’s, Oklahoma’s etc have all American backups to their backups.

I feel the same way. Glad they won and glad they didn't gag it away to a backup. This win probably won't age very well. I don't care though. A win is a win. Go Devils

Good point, but our D was playing pretty well keeping it a close game and holding Garbers to fairly modest numbers before he went down. You are right though, could definitely been a different outcome without the injury.

With such a young inexperienced team, we really don't know what to expect each week from ASU. But this was a big road win against a ranked team, 2nd one this year, and I will take it.

The schedule ahead looks tough and I am glad we have 2 weeks to prepare for the pirate.

 

[devilalum]

The Garbers injury was a fluke but it was a hard hitting smash mouth game. Cal's game is all about physicality.

You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

Lol so tru and sad watch kyle Allen suck tom... only the cards

 

[Mainstreet]

Kudos to Eno Benjamin and Herm Edwards for believing in the run game enough to get the win.

I wasn't a believer but Benjamin got 100 of the toughest yards I have ever seen.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

More than anything I’m impressed with the grit of the team and the freshman’s poise in tight games on the road against ranked (at the time) opponents.
