Let me just say if ASU doesn't win this game, Dirk should be fired on the spot and the every starter should be benched, never to be seen or heard from again.
Temple is complete and utter garbage, and the Devils should roll them.. easily.
Truth be told, I wouldn't be entirely shocked to see ASU pull this one out. LSU lost some real talent (not just on the bench, Travis Daniels, Marcus Spears and the others on defense they lost will cause them to move back a step. Also, losing Ben Wilkerson, who was the anchor of that offensive line, will be hard to overcome.
Ultimately, I see a 27-24 game, but I wouldn't be shocked if ASU won. That said, I think LSU's gonna pull it out.
With the rest of the schedule, truthfully with the exception of USC, they're capable of beating just about anyone on it.
In best case scenario, they beat LSU and give USC fits of hell, finishing the season at 10-1, and in the BCS.
Worst case scenario, they lose to LSU, get bombed by USC and slip up against some combo of Oregon, Oregon State, Northwestern, Washington State and UCLA. I still think Washington, U of A and Stanford are in too much of a rebuilding state for ASU to slip up.
