ASU @ Michigan State: The Spartans Strike Back?

[Absolute Zero]

Michigan State will be looking for revenge 1:00 P.M. on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if Jayden Daniels can rise to the challenge. Our running game was way better last year, but stifled against Michigan State. Its worse this year, so I expect Daniels will be throwing the ball quite a bit, and on the run often.

I have low expectations, but would love it if ASU kept it close. Our D has been playing well, but fading in the 4th. We may see more of that Saturday especially if the offense can't stay on the field.

I am not optimistic but I am hopeful. Sloppy uninspired play will not get it done against this level of competition.

Mich St does not have a great offense at all. If our defense shows up, they alone can keep us in the game for most of the game.
But on offense, I see our young QB being terrorized all day...
Should be a low scoring affair with tons of punts...
21 - 3 Spartans.

Devils will get waxed.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Sun Devils need to open up their passing attack to set up the run something I don't see them doing with a freshman quarterback and their offensive line woes. Hopefully the defense can keep it close.

 

[Raindog]

Yeah, hard to see any way we win this, given the offense issues in general, and OL problems specifically, of the first couple weeks. And on the road, no less.

Hopefully, it won't be a blowout.

 

[Mainstreet]

Michigan State has held their first two opponents to minus yardage on the ground.

Although Tulsa and Western Michigan are not household names it speaks to the task ahead. The Devils will need to pass the ball to have a chance.

Again, the game starts at 1 p.m. today on Fox (channel 10) Arizona.

Thank you Fox, looks like I'll be able to watch this one.

Not a bad start by the Sun Devils a couple first down on offense and just picked up a turnover here in the first quarter

I like that the Devils have coming out passing.

If Daniels had not overthrown that 3rd and 1 pass the receiver would have probably been gone.

Exactly

hopefully he can put a few downfield
before too long

Really nice job by our secondary so far too

Great stand by the defense that still a scoreless game

 

[Absolute Zero]

They've been on the field a lot though hopefully they won't get worn out in the fourth

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns Devils with the field goal.

That personal foul penalty wasn't very obvious.

 

[Mainstreet]

Michigan State misses their 2nd field goal. ASU leads 3-0 at the half.

 

[Raindog]

Respectable first half, especially by the defense.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Decent first half for the Sun Devils on the road

Defense looks awesome

Likens is calling a great game totally mixing it up with the pass-first mentality this week

 

[Absolute Zero]

Daniels playing like a freshman

Turk playing like an All-American

 

[TJ]

These two teams are setting football back 50 years. Christ, this is awful

 

[Absolute Zero]

Michigan State pulls ahead 7-3 in the fourth quarter.

Hopefully Likens will open up the play calling these runs into the heart of Michigan State's defense are a waste of time

 

[Raindog]

Well, so much for that. You can't not play on one whole side of the ball for the entire game and expect to win.

The offensive line is...offensive

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The offensive line is beyond pathetic. I know they had some unexpected blows to the oline starters, but they’ve had time to adjust and either they just have ***** for talent or there’s a severe coaching deficiency.

Severe lack of talent I'd say.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s not a catch
