ASU is the very definition of "pretender". Will be interesting to see if Erickson can bring in enough talent to make this team a force next year, although with Rudy at QB, I doubt if they can ever be a force. They've played three decent teams and pretty much got taken out behind the woodshed and gotten their asses kicked by every one of them. That's disappointing.

Cheese, I don't see them as a pretender. Pre-season, I expected 4 losses (USC, Cal, OU, and a "pick one" most likely UCLA or UA). I think people look at their record and just want to bag on them. Look, they aren't a great team, they are probably just above average. I think the fault lies with the fans when we expect ASU to be able to beat elite college teams; I just don't think we have the talent for that yet.

Nice defensive stand by ASU- nearly got a safety.

EDIT: Apparently the guy that touched the ball is Mack Browns son

Well, the Devils had a chance w/ that crazy sequence, but not getting it on 4th, and then allowing the punt, then two stupid penalties- if ASU can't score a TD before the half, I think its over.

Yup we need to have a nice long score drive for a td so we don't give texas anytime left on the clock so they can do more damage...

Imagine if ASU had Torain in both the SC game and this one (or really all season, it would've set up a stronger running attack, and perhaps lead to fewer sacks).

Terrible 3rd down call. The run game hasn't worked all night, I want a pass to McGaha in those situations.
