XII Championship ASU v Iowa St Saturday 12/7 10a

[AZCB34]

Amazing. Who woulda thunk it?

Certainly losing Tyson is huge (assuming he is for sure a no) and that means other guys will have to step up.

ASU has opened as the favorite to beat Iowa State.

This is win or go home. Big XII will only get one team in so can’t back into this thing with a loss. Iowa St is no joke. First time with 10 wins EVER.

Not surprising I guess given how dominating ASU looked. No home field advantage although I suspect Iowa St will likely travel better than ASU

Looked at tickets for the game. Thinking I’ll be enjoying this one from the comfort of home.

I do understand ASU will be the #1 seed, so I will take it for whatever it is worth.

Sun Devil fans are excited, so I think a number of them will travel.

I am reading that Iowa State is near the bottom of the Big12 in rush defense (15th). Skat's mouth must be watering already.

But with JT out, perhaps this will allow Iowa State to load the box more to try to stop him. If they do this, I think Leavitt has matured enough to check out and find ASU's other receivers. Guillory has really started to come into his own and Stovall has been clutch. And don't forget 6 4 Troy Omeire who really flashed last year, but seems to have been kept off the field this year due to JT's rise. So I am thinking our offense should be fine.

Some travel tips for those who may be going to the game.

Also, ASU has developed some shorter crossing routes, which help young receivers get the ball quickly more so than the longer developing routes.

If I am flying to Vegas first I’ll never make it to Dallas

I think the fact that Leavitt has been so reliant on Tyson and Metayer that one wonders why he doesn’t look other ways. Those guys not getting separation? Confidence in them? One would think those other guys would see exclusively single coverage.

I expect the Cyclones to sell out the farm on stopping Skattebo and put it all on Leavitt minus his safety blanket

ASU ranked 12th in new poll

 

[Mainstreet]

Kenny Dillingham deserves to be coach of the year. He has earned it.

Still waiting to hear about Jordyn Tyson's status.

Per AP poll, 12th ranked ASU will face 16th ranked Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship game.

College football rankings: ACC teams in updated Coaches Poll, AP Top 25 after Week 14

The ACC was rife with upsets in Week 14. How will that affect the conference's standings in the updated US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25?

It would be great to win next week and win the conference, of course... a huge feather to cap an amazing season.

Beyond that, I don't really have any expectations for the CFP. But they are playing with house money at that point, anyway, so anything more is all gravy and chocolate cake for dessert... to mix a bunch of metaphors.

Seems highly unlikely he'll be healthy, but we can hope.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Skattebo needs 134 yards to reach 2000 yards in the Big 12 Championship matchup and that is missing a game.

Hopefully, Tyson will be ready for the CFP games afterward, but it's probably wishful thinking.

I thought we would have heard something definitive by now.

We should hear at his Monday press conference, usually posted on Youtube around 1145 am

Yeah I fully expect this to be a road game.

It's absolute nonsense that Indiana is in the top 10.

Need an ASU win and a Boise St loss
