First off, I think ASU has only “beat us down” once since we joined the PAC-12. It was that first year in Tempe when it was a butt kicking from start to finish. The other games we lost were close. Games that we arguably should have won and gave away. Then the most recent game we actually won.
So, hopefully that assuages your fears of a beat down.
With that said, we could totally lose this game and, unfortunately, it would not be some kind of shocker. ASU is a little down, but they’re not awful. They still have more than enough to beat us. We’ll have to play a good game for four quarters to keep the Devils at bay, but we also have more than enough to do that. Gotta come ready to play, and get out of the gates quickly. This isn’t a game where we want to fall behind early. ASU has enough to stay in front of us if we let that happen.
