Bolden, G-Rob

[Gaddabout]

Just wanted to note Bolden had an interception and pretty much shut down his guy while G-Rob had 7 catches for 94 yards in his first game this season. There's been some debate as to their value. I hope this game provided some assurances as to their abilities.

It was nice to see G Rob finally show up, I hope he can be a force for the remainder of his ASU career. I believe he had one drop, but other than that was solid.

Bolden looked terrific again, though I believe he did bite on the play action once allowing his man to get by him for a TD. Though I suppose his safeties should've had him backed up there.

I really hope Bolden sticks around for his Senior year, ASUs defense could be really terrific next year, so I hope he gets excited about the opportunity to be excited about that.

That TD pass down the sidelines was all on the safety. Oregon showed the bubble screen and Bolden has edge responsibilities there at the LOS. In fact, he made two incredible plays on swing passes. When he runs up on that play one of the safeties has to maintain deep coverage support but both of them -- I think they were KJ and Tabach -- were rushing the gaps to attack the bubble screen.
