Devils hold their fate within their own hands. Nobody thought we'd would be in this spot. Amazing turnaround. Time to knock the posers out of the top 25!

Should be a great game.

I am expecting USC to show up with a much better performance than they displayed against Notre Dame.

As long as ASU doesn't let this moment get too big I think they will be fine and play a solid game. Good enough to win.

If they let this be bigger than it is that is when they could be in trouble.

Disciplined football like we have seen the past two games will be critical. For as mediocre as Darnold has looked he won't miss WR running wide open like Utah

Chances ASU can crack the top 25 if they beat USC?

Imagine if they had played well the first 3 weeks and NOT lost to SDSU and TT.

This... While we all wish for a big 'ol W, I think the most we have the right to hope for is a 10 point loss...


So if ASU pulls this off and beats the mighty Trojans tomorrow night that would be pretty impressive right? Wouldn't you agree at that point we could say that ASU had a pretty solid team, after beating the Ducks-while they still had their starting QB healthy, Washington, and USC? Hypothetically of course.

I think there would be little doubt they are a good team if they beat USC. It would also make us look back at SDSU and TT and wonder what if although I think both those teams are better than some of us thought.

Really rough start for the Devils and Graham’s defense. Giving up big 3rd and longs and quarter... Blitzing like crazy and leaving his corners on a island... and paying the price.

Trojans making it look like child’s play. This is what I expected. Zero trust in a Todd Graham defense.

The Sun Devil defense was a mirage. It doesn't help they can't run the ball either.

Another thing, if Wilkins cannot throw the deep ball with accuracy he should do the run option more. It would sure help the running game.

Laying an egg so far. Completely out of sync and poor tackling. Typical. Opportunity to make some headway and have a good showing, maybe even break into top 25 and this team shows up

Absolutely embarrassing... It was nice to have a couple nice wins... but anyone who thinks Todd Grapham is the answer is out of their mind....

This program is directionless and leaderless, and its incredibly sad
