ASU to Play Florida State in Sun Bowl

[Raindog]

Interesting matchup... much better for ASU than playing some nobody like Wake Forest or Florida Atlantic...

It's an exciting match-up. I can't recall ASU ever playing Florida State.

Mike Norvell being hired as their head coach gives it an interesting twist.

I know they played each other in the Fiesta Bowl in the early days of that game - early 1970s.

It should be fun match-up nevertheless. When I think of Florida State I think exciting football.

Exciting football in the almost distant past.

Mike Norvell is gonna be pissed when he hears Norv Turner stole the job from him.

ASU couldn't beat Bobby Bowden back in the day.

ASU beat FSU 45-38 in the first Fiesta Bowl.

I was there.

Whoops, guess I was wrong.

I can kinda remember being really mad and upset because ASU and Frank Kush lost to Bowden and FSU. I really liked Kush back in the day.

Not necessarily.

ASU beat Florida State at the first Fiesta Bowl in 1971.

Bobby Bowden didn't started coaching Florida State until 1976. He beat ASU in Tampa in 1979 and in Tempe in 1983 and 1984.

Awesome that you got to be at that game!

My only Fiesta Bowl was when UCLA tied Arkansas!

But Bowden wasn't coaching yet for FSU at the first Fiesta Bowl, according to wikepedia anyway.

I was 9. I wasn’t really aware of coaches at that point.

I know what you mean. Probably my top Sun Devil Stadium experience was when John Elway and Stanford came to play ASU, and the teams went back and forth on scoring drives until the end. No clue who the coaches were, LOL. Hell, now I can't even remember who the ASU QB was, might have been Pagel.

Here is an early prediction for an Arizona State win by Adam Rittenberg, ESPN Senior Writer.


Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl: Florida State vs. Arizona State

(2 p.m. on CBS at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas)

New Seminoles coach Mike Norvell will soon have FSU competing for championships again. But this roster still needs work, and Arizona State is building some real momentum for 2020. Quarterback Jayden Daniels finishes a strong freshman season with a big performance, getting help from running back Eno Benjamin and wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Frank Darby against FSU's defense. The Sun Devils contain Cam Akers and pull away in the fourth quarter.

Prediction: Arizona State 34, Florida State 24

I was there, great game, great season. We beat #1 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Daryl Rogers was the coach, I can't remember the QB but pretty sure it wasn't Pagel.

I’m doubting Oklahoma was #1 heading into the game considering they ended the season at 8-3.

I was there for that game with my son. An amazing comeback. The look on Elway's horse face when we made that last drive was priceless. If memory serves me it was Todd Hons. It was my son's birthday, October 9, 1982.

Didn't John Elway play for Stanford?

Yes. I was referencing Absolute Zero’s post about the ASU Stanford game.

The Sun Bowl is being broadcast on CBS (not ESPN) on Dec 31, New Years Eve. CBS is doing a significant amount of promo for the game. Good exposure for the Sun Devils!

Now ~ WIN the damn game!!!
