Mannion will be dangerous if ASU gives him time in the pocket. We'll see if the blitzing works this week.

For sure. He worries me too bc of how good of an arm he has. Plus, he can run a little bit.

Watch the game and if he has a good game, imagine Cards going to the podium and selecting him. Good QB, lousy team. ASU gets in the Conference playoff.

I think OSU is a great matchup for the Devils. If ASU looks flat or God forbid loses it'll likely be due to them overlooking the Beavers, weather, and other intangibles.

Mannion is a statue for the most part (has negative career rushing yardage) and OSU's O-line has been poor and injured. ASU will blitz, blitz, blitz. OSU will break a few big ones with screens and quick slants, but thats the nature of ASU's defense.

Taylor Kelly hasn't looked like the Taylor Kelly of last year yet this season. Early on that's because they were playing vanilla against bad squads, then he was recovering from an injury. I'd love to see Kelly really blow up and have a huge game on Sat.

Hoping ASU blows the doors off the Beavs!

Go Devils...

Hey man, you are within striking distance of the game. Are you going?

I am in the Medford area, 3+ hours away. If it wasn't such a late start, I would be there.

Go Devils!

Its game day people!

Can someone tell me why ASU is playing at Oregon State with such a late start time? I guess it must be television but I am freezing just thinking about it.

I think its because it is on ESPN and they are running some other games before it.

Stay away polar vortex! We don't need to play in the frozen tundra. Big storm coming down here in Oregon later this week, hopefully it will stay up around Portland.

Should be a great game. I look forward to seeing our attacking Defense try its luck on Mannion. He is an excellent QB, but his best weapon is now on the New Orleans Saints.

I say we take this one.

ASU 37
OSU 20

Absolute, what's the weather status for the game tonight?

I seriously looked into picking up tickets but the wife and I are on a tight budget after breaking the bank for our wedding a couple months ago. We opted to attend a party and I will be wearing my ASU shirt for sure.

I read that they are only expecting about 30,000 since much of the crowd commutes from the Portland area. Then the article said that number could dwindle quickly if ASU has the game under control early.
