And here the stupid penalties come.

And I was just going to post that... so stupid.

Interception!!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Interception ASU!

 

[Raindog]

But good pick to essentially end it.

 

[AZCB34]

Ballgame although I am unsatisfied with how the offense has played this half

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought the Sun Devil running game would be able to grind it out when needed.

Maybe the Stanford defense has something to do with it.

Lol. Clock wasn't stopped after that first down run by Daniels

I've given up on figuring out the clock.

Well good win by the Devils.

Devils had over 400 yards of offense

Final:

Arizona State 28 - Stanford 10

 

[AZCB34]

Devils had over 400 yards of offense

Yet only managed 21 points all in first half

 

[Cheesebeef]

Solid W for the Devils.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Great win. 13 yards rushing by Stanford. Ouch.

 

[AZCB34]

Offense: B-
Offense looked unstoppable for a quarter and a half and took control of the game early. After that they looked out of sync and the play calling seemed flat. Credit must go to Stanford defense for making adjustments and ratcheting up their intensity

Defense: A
All night long the defense made plays to prevent Stanford from scoring. It is a bit unnerving how many times the Cardinal crossed midfield but only managed 10 points. The defense has given up just 10 points in their last 6 quarters. Jones was a standout.

Special Teams: C+
Missed chip shot FG and some poor punts. This is an area that was a concern last night and fortunately it didn’t come back to bite them.

Listening to Herms press conference I thought it was pretty cool that Herm personally worked with the cornerback group this week to take away the fade route from Stanford's tall receivers. I think that really paid off because Stanford was driving quite a bit but couldn't convert. They were getting yards on the slants, but only one score.

McKee was uncanny laying that ball into the receiver in tight coverage. If ASU cornerbacks were not up to the task it would have really been a rough night. I still think on Stanford's only touchdown that was pass interference by the receiver. The defensive back was right in his lap. It's tough knowing for sure without additional replay.

John Gambadoro made a couple of comments that were on target. I do think ASU is going to get a number of players drafted by the NFL.

Also ASU's kicking game may hurt them down the road.

I was rooting for Boise State to win. The Cougars don't play a difficult schedule.
