Why Arizona State Will Win

Five straight. 70-7 in 2002. 38-15 last year. Arizona State has a hold on the Territorial Cup and now gets a potentially demoralized Arizona team.

Of course the Wildcats will be jacked for this – they still have to hear about 70-7 – but they went from beating UCLA and having a bowl game there on the table, to now being ensured of a losing season after a disappointing day against Washington State.

The Cat D wasn’t bad against Wazzu, but it hasn’t been a rock, especially against the run. Arizona State has to get grinding right away and control the tempo and the clock.

Last week was a rough 31-7 loss to Oregon State, but the Sun Devils averaged over six yards per carry and should come close to five yards per pop in this. The passing attack was great against Colorado and UCLA, there should be a good balance, and the Arizona defense doesn’t generate the pressure to stop any of it.

But …

Why Arizona Will Win

Now this becomes Arizona’s bowl game.

Arizona State is a program that’s about to flip around fast over the offseason with a whole lot of changes. Arizona has everything in place and keeps on improving, and this is a next step forward.

No, the defense isn’t anything great, but the offense is about to go off. Washington State’s strong defense was able to win by forcing four takeaways – all picks – but Arizona State doesn’t take the ball away. It hasn’t come up with a turnover in two weeks, and it forced multiple takeaways just twice all year.

The secondary allowed 200 yards or more in every Pac-12 game except the loss to UCLA, and that’s because the Bruins ripped off over 400 yards on the ground. So …

What’s Going To Happen

The Arizona offense will go off.

Jayden de Laura will get over the rough day against Wazzu and rip off well over 300 yards without the big mistakes.

Arizona State will keep up with the ground game, but it won’t be enough. The offense will flinch with a few third down misfires, and the Wildcat offense will take advantage of every chance.

Why Arizona State Will Win

There’s a difference between being winless, and being winless like Arizona State is.

The offense has been fine, the defense has been fine, the team has been fine. It couldn’t close in the opener in a miraculous comeback win by USC, and last week it couldn’t put away UCLA in a fun game that came down to the wire.

It’s only a two-game sample size, but the pass rush is among the nation’s best, there’s good production from the backs, and QB Jayden Daniels has been okay. The Arizona run defense is getting ripped to shreds, the offensive line is getting crushed, there’s been just two sacks so far in the four games.

This hasn’t been a great ASU team, but it’s deserving of a wee bit better of a fate.

Week 15 College Schedule

Why Arizona Will Win

The running game showed up last week against Colorado.

Gary Brightwell rumbled for 117 yards, Michael Wiley ripped off a huge run on his way to 122 yards, and all of a sudden, the offense started to show more pop.

The offense can move the ball, and it’s not making a ton of big mistakes, but it’s not scoring when it has its chances. If it can just convert everything in the red zone and finally finish off some of these drives – there were two missed opportunities against the Buffaloes and three empty trips in the last two games – it’ll have a shot.

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

Arizona State will win on the lines, that that should be enough to get by in a fun, spirited fight with a good performance from Arizona.

Neither team takes the ball away enough to matter, and neither offense can seem to get anything consistently going to control the tempo. Arizona State has a killer pass rush, and Arizona doesn’t. The Sun Devils will make a few of the plays the Wildcats can’t and won’t.
