Guillory needs to step up and be the player everyone has expected him to be. He has been a disappointment. Some of that is Leavitt relying so much on Tyson and Metayer and certainly some of it is on Guillory not being productive to create opportunities for Leavitt to find him.

I like Stovall and the past few weeks he has been more visible in the offense. Some of the same issues apply to him that apply to Guillory.

Guillory has flashed his potential the last 2 games hauling in those long bombs for 2 TD's. Hopefully he can continue that trend.

All these WR's are blocking which is super important, though they sure got a few holding calls against the Wildcats.

Some production from Jake Smith would be a welcome addition to ASU's offense. Maybe short passes that allow him to leverage his speed. His hands on long passes have been disappointing.

Speaking of hands, I'm not expecting much from Omeire - his have looked like they are made of stone at times. But you never know...

For such a highly touted player, Smith has been next to worthless.

So far, yes. I just hope he realizes some of his potential and lives up at least partially to his accolades, at long last. His offer list, as one of the top five high school players coming out of Arizona, was amazing. Texas (where he initially went), USC (his second stop), Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, and many others. The NCAA eligibility issues that he had to deal with when he transferred from USC to ASU probably didn't help.

Yeah, his accolades and the teams that were interested in him made him appear to be a big pickup for ASU, but unfortunately he's been a non-factor. (Even with very little other than Tyson for competition). I'll believe it when I see it.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark airs it out about CFP rankings and the College Football Playoff committee.

He says too much focus is placed on logos.
