Cut, pasted and modified from my thread on the other ASFN college board:
ASU over Cal.
Cal seems to have been exposed as having trouble stopping the run. If ASU stays close, or leads at the half, it's all over. ASU will run, run, run the whole 2nd half and hit a couple of deep ones when Cal is forced to play 8 or 9 men up.
If Cal jumps up big in the first half, say 14 to 17, they might hang on to win a squeaker.
ASU is as talented as Cal but not as tested or experienced. Advantage Cal.
Tedford teams find ways to lose sometimes when they shouldn't. Erickson teams? We'll soon find out. Push.
Weather. Supposed to be hot. Advantage ASU.
Home field sell-out. Advantage ASU.
ASU coming off bye, Cal angry after choke job. Advantage Cal.
The best run game wins this one. Push.
Can't wait. Go devils.
