Sun Devils vs. Aggies

[Iceman]

What's extremely interesting is we really have nothing to base this game off of. New players, new year. Being an asu homer, I believe the Devils have gotten over the national coverage game last year with a huge win over Notre Dame. Granted they almost gave it up, but they did win. I believe Graham has them ready for this. My prediction is a 34-30 win for asu.

I don't know what is funnier watching UA struggle big-time playing yet again another no-name out of conference opponent to open the season or the fact that Rich Rod keeps making stupid low budget movie clips that are made fun of by football recruits, media and fans around the country.

I'll go 42-38 ASU in a thriller that goes right down to the end. And I wouldn't trade ASU's philosophy of scheduling and recruiting the best for the searching-thru-garbage philosophy down in Tucson. Go Devils!

Strength of schedules last five years...

2014:
UA - 32
ASU - 42

2013:
ASU - 2
UA - 31

2012
UA - 32
ASU - 52

2011
UA - 18
ASU - 34

2010
ASU - 5
UA - 7

Try again.

Michigan State and TCU both struggled in their opening games against marginal teams. Last season, UofA beat UTSA by 3 and UNR by 7; yet, still won the South outright. Last season Ohio State lost to Va Tech, a team it had no business losing to, and won the NC.

It happens, but to think that defines the rest of the season is pure ignorance and lack of understanding of college football.

Also, please share with me examples of recruits and media not affiliated with asu who are making fun of UofA's video clips. I have a high suspicion that you're just talking out of your ass....again.

Don't get that 3rd down run up the middle for a loss. So far horrible play calling for asu

 

[Cheesebeef]

man, those white ASU jerseys are painful to look at. Makes me feel like they're the Leaping Lanny Poffo's of college football.

 

[Iceman]

No run game for the Devils right now

 

[Iceman]

Wow. Way offsides!

 

[82CardsGrad]

Hate this constant no-huddle offense.. Even on defense the Devils seem to never be set...

 

[82CardsGrad]

Devils with zero ability to get the ball downfield...

 

[NavyVet]

oy vey! this is ugly

 

[82CardsGrad]

Kirk with the return... Was hoping this game wasn't gonna get out of control... Could be on the way...

 

[Cheesebeef]

like clockwork, ASU has a big time statement game and comes out and gets the doors blown off.

how this football program can ALWAYS be so disappointing is beyond me.

 

[Broseph]

this is just vintage ASU....

 

[az240zz]

Right now it looks like Coach Graham and the Sun Devils are once again, choking in a big game..

 

[Broseph]

really need some points on this drive

 

[82CardsGrad]

Not having Balladge hurts... But man Berc looks terrible!

 

[NavyVet]

Not having Balladge hurts... But man Berc looks terrible!

He's looking extremely mediocre in this game

 

[NavyVet]

ugh, this is pathetic football

 

[Broseph]

Really needed that

 

[82CardsGrad]

Devils with no answer for Garrett... Wow! He looks like Lawrence Taylor out there!

 

[az240zz]

Very unimaginative offense. 1st down run, 2nd down run, 3rd down pass, 4th down kick..

Gotta change that and become unpredictable.. Don't know if Graham can do that..

 

[Buckybird]

Very unimaginative offense. 1st down run, 2nd down run, 3rd down pass, 4th down kick..

Gotta change that and become unpredictable.. Don't know if Graham can do that..

Should'nt have converted Foster to RB & limiting his touches & the effectiveness of the offense.

 

[az240zz]

Coach Graham choking along with his offense. The QB looks lost..

 

[82CardsGrad]

If Gump is the best we can put out there for return game, we are in serious trouble...
