I thought the spread was too much but I guess if you take away the trick play fiasco and the late score it wasn't really that far off. This was a team that was just ranked though and they do have a solid defense. Watched the TV version last night and they mentioned that ASU was 5th in the nation in sacks and TFL. It is hard to know how good anyone really is until a few more games have been played.
It was a solid enough win given that ASU seems to have our number and it has become plain that just about every game will be a grind. We were advertised as the dominant Pac-12 team coming into the season and at least at this point, that was too generous a prediction but who knows, the season is young. Good news is that nobody else is either.
