Wisconsin is 8-4, pretty tough team.
Wisconsin allowed just 16.42 points per game through 12 contests including 10 or fewer five times.

The Badgers run the ball effectively as well, gaining 215.4 yards per week on nearly five yards per carry.

This will be ASU’s second trip to the Las Vegas Bowl in four years.

The Sun Devils fell to Fresno State 31-20 in 2018.

There are players opting out of the Rose Bowl. Good opportunity for young players to get reps and game experience. It’s the new college football

How much does Herm get for a Vegas Bowl win? Probably too much in the circumstances. :sad:

Not sure if he has such a bonus in his contract. But the school should get a nice check.

Assuming we can field a team with all the departures. Hope, we don't pull a UCLieA.

Will be happy if this game is even competitive. Rooting for the devils of course, but putting all of my money on the Badgers. Strength of schedule and talent is a huge disparity, but maybe Herm and the team can pull something out of the hat.

Wisconsin has a couple injuries but doesn’t sound like they have any opt outs (according to WI beat writer on Speak off the Devils podcast). Unclear if Covid will be an issue for them.

Basically, an ASU team with multiple transfers/opt outs will be facing a full strength Badger team.

The one thing that is good is Graham Mertz at QB has not looked particularly good this season. Trying to find some silver lining I guess

I am not expecting a great showing tonight, but I am going to try to watch. My FuboTV free trial expired, so I will have to see if there is a free trial for YouTube TV.

I am such a cheapskate!!!

If I can't pull this off or run into a wife veto, then I will be looking for some good play by play from @Mainstreet and the rest of you fine commentators!

Go Sun Devils!!

:sparky:

I plan to watch the game. Yes, ESPN is included in my television package. ;)

I must say with ASU down so many players it does not look encouraging.


Go Arizona State!

I am all set so far. Took my wife out to dinner and got the YoutubeTV free trial loaded.

Hopefully I can stay awake, I have been up since 3.

Something tells me you will be able to get to bed in short order. I am hopeful but have very low expectations for this game
Ya I don't know. The Peach bowl will probably delay things with overtime

ASU gets a 1st down. It's a start.
