Duel in the Desert: Instant Classic
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Leslie Charles.
Stick a PITCHFORK in it I have seen numerous Duels in the Desert but last night's was definitely one for the ages. Though it didn't get interesting until well into the second half, this game became everything that rivalry games are about. Defensive slugfest early…little bit of offense in the end…and pure skill, luck and execution to finish the game off right. Each team was looki...

Duel in the Desert, Part 84
Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Leslie Charles.
In one of the oldest college football rivalry games, the Arizona State Sun Devils look to head down to Tucson and further plunge the once-stellar season of the Arizona Wildcats. The Sun Devils season has been marked by underachieving week after week, but this Thursday evening they hope to end their season on a high note with a beautiful (heck, ugly wouldn’t be bad) win over their neighbors ...

Sun Devils Need This
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Leslie Charles.
They need this one. The Arizona State Sun Devils' season depends on this week's game. Yes…this week's game versus #6 Stanford is a must-win for the team. By when I say “must win” I am not overstating this one. Without a win this Saturday evening, the Sun Devils guarantee themselves at least 6 losses putting them at most at even for the season. Those kinds of numbers ...

Same Story, Different Year
Posted on 8 Nov 2010 by Leslie Charles.
We were so close. Seems like ASU Sun Devils' fans have been saying this every Sunday all season. And the same holds true today after the 11th consecutive loss to the USC Trojans. If you watched the second half of this game…the last few minutes notwithstanding…you would have walked away thinking ASU won the game. But as per usual this season, the Sun Devils just couldn't do the...

Devils Hope to Party Like Its 1999
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by Leslie Charles.
It has been 11 years since the Arizona State Sun Devils have beat their So Cal rival, University of Southern California. 10 games of total dominance by the Trojans…and 10 games of futility from the Devils. But this year, the Sun Devils hope to see something different. This isn't the same USC team that has beat them fo a decade straight. This USC team doesn't have the same game-cha...

ASU vs. Washington St: Home Is Where the Heart Is?
Posted on 28 Oct 2010 by Leslie Charles.
This Saturday marks the Arizona State Sun Devils' Homecoming, in more ways than one. Not only will thousands of ASU alum be flooding the streets of Tempe to visit their alma mater, but the game versus the Washington State Cougars is the return of the Sun Devils to their home stadium after 4 weeks and 3 games away. The Sun Devils return with a mere 3-4 record (1-3 Pac-10). The ups and down...

Arizona State Falls Flat in Berkeley
Posted on 25 Oct 2010 by Leslie Charles.
This wasn't what Arizona State needed. After a convincing win versus Washington, a bye week, and an amazing week of practice in Tempe, this wasn't what we expected from the Sun Devils. And this definitely doesn't help anyone to believe this ASU team will be any different from the last few years. From start to finish the Sun Devils were FLAT in every since of the word. Steven Threet couldn...

ASU vs. Cal Preview
Posted on 22 Oct 2010 by Leslie Charles.
With six games to go, and a bowl berth on the line, ASU must play the last half of the season with a renewed sense of purpose. And it all begins this Saturday vs. the Cal Bears. Currently sitting at 3-3, the Arizona State Sun Devils must win more than half of their games to ensure themselves a bowl game over the holiday season. And if they play a full game the way they did versus Washingt...

ASU vs. Washington Game Recap
Posted on 10 Oct 2010 by Leslie Charles.
Finally a solid win from the Devils. ASU fans have been waiting for that for weeks, and if they caught the game, they were not disappointed. This was the game I had been waiting to see from ASU against the last few opponents. They got out of their own way by minimizing turnovers and penalties, and not surprisingly they were able to salvage their season, and bowl hopes, in the process. Tho...

Arizona State vs. Washington Preview
Posted on 7 Oct 2010 by Leslie Charles.
Arizona State is looking like a team on the verge. On the verge of skyrocketing, or on the verge of imploding. They have all the tools necessary to become a top-tier team but their confidence and lack of self-discipline seems to be getting in the way of them taking things to the next level. This week versus the Washington Huskies they once again have the chance to prove themselves worthy....

ASU vs OSU Preview
Posted on 30 Sep 2010 by Leslie Charles.
ASU has been teasing us these last two weeks. Against two very capable ranked opponents in Wisconsin and Oregon respectively, the Sun Devils have played 6 quarters of great football. The Devils defense held both teams to well below their season averages and kept each team off the field for significant amounts of time. However in two games 8 quarters of football must be played. And unfor...

Pac-10 Preview: Oregon vs Arizona State
Posted on 25 Sep 2010 by Leslie Charles.
This is a big weekend for ASU. Against the nation’s leader in offense, Oregon, ASU has a chance to prove itself in a big way. Don’t get me wrong; this game is far from a game the Sun Devils are expected to win. Though this is a much different team than the last couple of seasons, Oregon is not only the top dog in the Pac-10 currently, they’re also one of the top teams in the entire ...
