There was a lot of build-up and excitement going into the game between Pac-12 favorites #9 Oregon and #18 Arizona State. ESPN College Gameday was in Eugene to show the contest to a national television audience so people could get a glimpse of a few of the best in the west. The Ducks, who were favored in the game, are a team based on consistency and explosiveness. They repeatedly rack up insane ...

Growing Pains: A Critical Look at the Slow Start by the Pac-12
Posted on 20 Sep 2011 by Rob Parness.
To the delight of SEC and Big-10 fans everywhere, the Pac-12 has been unimpressive and disappointing early in the season. Many proud west coast fans were expecting this season to be an opportunity for their conference to prove itself as the second best in the nation behind the SEC. However, after #10 Oregon’s loss to LSU in week one, teams like Arizona, UCLA, Oregon State and Washington also ...

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...

Two Blocked PAT’s Doom Arizona as Arizona State Wins the Territorial Cup
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Henry Childs.
Heartbreaking. In a double-overtime thriller, Arizona State edged Arizona 30-29 to claim the Territorial Cup on Thursday night after the game-tying PAT was blocked by the Sun Devils. First, I need to take a deep breath. Okay, that’s better. What a game to end all Thursday night games in the regular season. Both teams showed heart, guts, and a hunger to win this football game. But in the end, ...

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 ...

Can Arizona Salvage the End of a Disappointing Season?
Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Henry Childs.
Arizona will try to salvage what’s left of their season tomorrow, as they host rival Arizona State at 5pm PST on ESPN. Arizona has lost three games in a row. Arizona State is coming off its best offensive performance of the season, when they beat UCLA last weekend 55-34. Will the Wildcats end the regular season with a win? Or will the Sun Devils finish their season at 6-6, but what could’ve...

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 ...

#1 Ducks Hope to Avoid Bear-Trap Against California
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Rob Parness.
The #1 ranked Oregon Ducks will take their high-powered offense down to the bay area this weekend to face the California Golden Bears. Oregon is 9-0 for the first time in their 115 year history and are on pace to demolish all of the previous offensive benchmarks set by Duck teams in the past. While the Ducks lead the nation in points per game (54.7) and total yards per game (567.2), the Bears m...

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...

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...
