Co'mon Devils!

First and goal AGAIN and they come away with no points!!! They are allowing Washington every chance to win this game... Kelly is playing the worst game I have ever seen him play... Put Berco in - ASAP!!

Berco needs to finish this game. Taylor isnt sharp tonight.

Washington kicks a FG to tie it up with 7mins left... The momentum is 100% with Wash. Our offense hasn't even gotten off the plane...

The offenses in this game have been horrendous. Nice to come out of there with a win.

Pick 6 by Perry! Game over... Kelly needs a ton of work... Lucky to sneak out of Seattle with the W!

Oh yea! I was calling for that pick. Good road win.

All I can say is whew. It's great to come out of Washington with a win.

It looks like there is a chance Taylor Kelly suffered a concussion.

We need to sell out SDS next week vs Utes.

For sure. Utah looking tougher and tougher each game. Remind me a lot like the style of play Stanford plays.

Way to go, Devils !!!

Perry's first collegiate INT is a pick-six to seal the game - awesome !!!

Fortunate to get out of Washington with a win, those conditions were horrendous. Rain and wind gusts up to 61 mph. Kelly already throws a softer ball, but with the wind it looked like he was throwing beach balls out there at times. Balls were sailing on both QB's. I could hardly understand Haller's postgame report with the wind whipping through there.

Solid job by our defense in keeping Washington out of the end zone all night. I think we racked up about 5 sacks, 2 by Hardison, and 2 by Laiu Moeakiola who also forced a fumble. And what can you say about our walk on safety Jordan Simone who had another 10 tackle night and a key interception. Our tackling has improved dramatically since the UCLA game.

Seemed like some very suspect and stubborn play calling down in those goal line situations. Going right at Washington's strength. Their front 7 is the best in the conference. That Kikaha dude is a beast, Carl Bradford on steroids. Anyway, I think Graham has been critical of Norvell being too cute down on the goal line, so that's what we get. A bunch of boring repetitious dives into the interior line, some from a one back set, that everyone knows is coming.

I listened to part of the game on a Seattle radio station that I was able to pick up here in Southern Oregon. There was a WA kickoff return by Brown, called back due to a holding penalty. Anyway, Brown broke it free and almost scored, but was caught from behind by Randall. The announcers couldn't believe it since they said Brown was the fastest guy in the PAC12. Not faster than Randall though I guess.

Despite the boggled FG snap, I think we won the special teams battle. Our punter was killer, 6-8 Paul Crawford blocked a FG, and our coverage was decent.

TK got a head to head hit on that last TD past, wasn't called by the refs, wasn't mentioned by the announcers, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is concussed.

OG Christian Westerman also had a knee injury and did not play in the 4th quarter. That is not good.

Pretty good summary. Not a lot that I can add. I would say that it appears the offense and defense has switched entirely as to what is driving this team to win. I would have liked more points, but will take the victory.

I was frustrated we were unable to score from the 1 yards line, but am really glad we didnt try any outside runs, and the weather was going to make a lob pass to Strong really difficult. Probably the correct call to try and jam it up the middle 4 times in a row. Would have liked to see Ballage on at least one of those carries.

Glad the D-Line has turned it around. Cherry, Latu, and Hardison are light years ahead of who we started the season with. And the defensive backs have really improved as well. The LBs (outside of Moekiola) still have a ways to go. I have a feeling the new recruit Durant will find his way quickly into the lineup next year. DJ Calhoun can be great, but appears to perform best at the same weakside backer spot that Moekiola plays.

Washington has an amazing amount of individual talent on defense. Kikaha just blew me away. I thought him, the nose tackle and the cornerback would look good for the Cards. But Kikaha looks special. He might be a little smaller than we use at the 3-4 OLB, but I wouldn't pass on him. I think he goes in the first round, no later than the second. I think ASU was lucky that they didnt play Shaq Thompsen on defense as we had our hands full blocking those who were out there.

Good points.

Ya, I was hoping to see Ballage too. My only guess is that Richard is besting him in practice. Richard looked like a beast hauling defenders around.

I still don't totally understand all of ASU's defensive scheme, but I thought Longino has replaced Calhoun at WIL and that Moekiola is playing SPUR which is a hybrid linebacker/defensive back position, but I may be wrong on that.

Calhoun has a very bright future and has gained some great valuable experience this year. Isn't he like 18 years old or something like that? I think he started the first part of the year since he was a standout in camp and very talented. But he is a little light and expect he will be bulking up a little bit as his ASU career progresses. He is going to be a star.
