ASU looked horrible for most of the game. By the end of the third quarter they dominated UTSA. ASU pitched something like a half a dozen three and outs.
this is the first ASU game I have watched. Their QB is going to get killed. In every game this year (3) he has hurdled a defender. It makes for a great highlight on ESPN but Graham should have put a stop to this two weeks ago.
ASU’s running back tandem of Ballage and Richard are top notch. QB is a little erratic, he’s a play maker and he’s also a play killer. Other than the RBs, nothing else really stood out to me. ASU is going to take their lumps this year but they will not be a push over for us. Once conference play starts our conference foes play at a whole new level, as do we.
It’s tough making judgments during OOC play. Against G5/FCS competition we get their very best shot. It’s their biggest game while the P5 team is under pressure to blow them off the field. It’s hard to look good during these games but if the P5 is a decent team they will dominate the line of scrimmage toward the end of the game, which ASU did.
