Good afternoon Huddle,

Full disclosure: I wasn't able to make the trip this weekend. Nonetheless, nothing changes with our coverage. We'll have in-game updates and the usual postgame content.

“You just don't know when things will click all the time. Working with the guys all summer into the fall, I saw the potential of what they could do.” All ASU has done in the last few games is justify the preseason buzz; a win over GCU didn't change that sentiment

Only half time, but I’m impressed with what Prime has done with team in 2nd year.. Great job with Special Teams..

As there are, by my count, at least 5 to 6 teams in the SEC that could win that conference in football and the question for today is this...

What happens if four or five teams that include Tenn, TAMU, Texas, Georgia, Bama and Ole Miss some how tie for the conference championship..??

Sure, they will come up with a winner through their conference championship game but what does that do to involvement in the national playoffs..??

The B!G is a little easier to figure out since there are only four teams (Indiana, Oregon, Ohio St and Penn St) that could still win that conference but all of those teams might make the playoffs, right..??

So, where does that leave the ACC and the Big-12..??

The ACC is going to come down to SMU, Clemson and Miami...

And, the Big-12 is going to come down to BYU, CU, K-State, Iowa St and ASU it looks like...

Could the SEC really get 5-6 teams in the playoffs..??

And, could the B1G get four teams in the playoffs..??

And, what about Notre Dame..??

And, does that mean that the ACC and Big-12 might only get one team in the playoffs (or maybe a team in the Big-12 doesn't get a selection for that matter)...

BYU is the only unbeaten team that is ranked in the Top 10 right now and CU, ISU, K-State and ASU all have two losses as of now...

However, if CU closes the season out at 10-2 and 8-1 does anyone think that the Buffs, with PT coaching the team, that they won't make the playoffs even with two or more losses, if they win the championship..??

In any event, it will be a very interesting road to follow in the coming weeks...

Go ASU and Go Big-12!!!

Saturday's contest in Manhattan presents ASU's toughest road game this season since No. 16 Kansas State has plenty of weapons in its arsenal. Joe Healey examines ASU's upcoming opponent.

Who does everyone have, 8pm on FS1… Houston has been hot last couple games, think they can hang L # 7 on our good friends??!!

Kyle Dodd says our attendance is going to be bad. It's not too surprising considering this game has no upside for us and feels like a money grab since it's not included in our season tickets.

That said, I'll be there with my kids. Are any of you going?

Utah QB tore a ligament in his foot last week that holds bones and the arch together. The doctor said he was shocked the kid could even stand and he will need season ending surgery.

What’s remarkable is this happened before halftime and the Utah staff injected him with pain meds, put a steel plate in his shoe and made him play the 2nd half.

Earlier this season Utah QB Cam Rising suffered a season ending injury in the first quarter against ASU and Utah shot him up with pain meds and he played the rest of the game.

All of this in a season where Utah is 1-5 in conference. I understand playing hurt. I don’t understand playing injured. Especially in a throw away season.

This reminds me of Tracy Smith throwing kids 100+ pitches on opening weekend because his career needed wins more than he cared about the health of his pitchers.

Compare that to Dillingham who sits Skat even when Skat is begging to play.

The 24-25 campaign may still be in its infancy, but early season warning signs are becoming increasingly distant memories in light of ASU's recent play. Justin LaCertosa and I analyze Thursday's 87-76 win over GCU.

I’ve been switching back and forth between our women’s volleyball game at West Virginia, and our women’s basketball game against Grand Canyon. What an incredible difference! Our women’s volleyball team is so well coached, and fun to watch play. Our women’s basketball team on the other hand, is almost unwatchable!😱 Just goes to show how incredibly incompetent our last AD was, that he hired our present coach. In the meantime, the coach he probably should have hired, the current coach at Grand Canyon, Molly Miller is a terrific coach. She was sitting in our own backyard the whole time. Apparently, all she’s done in her time at GCU, is win 84% of her games. Guess that kind of coaching wasn’t good enough for our former AD!🤷🏻‍♂️ Don’t know what it will take to unload our present coach, but it needs to happen!

ASU's last road game outside of the state of Arizona will have them face one of the best teams in the Big 12. With a strong ground attack and a stout run defense, how do we see the Sun Devils fairing against Kansas State? Justin LaCertosa and I analyze Saturday's contest.

"We’re going to continue to focus on the process, and I think that’s what this group is doing a good job of. They come back Monday through Friday focusing on the process, not the result.” Coaches pleased with the effectiveness of players's buy-in to the culture

Sun Devils are getting healthier and now have more starters who either missed the UCF game or did not complete that game fully practiced on Wednesday. Here are our observations for today's session

Probably just the beginning....Norvell fired both offensive and defensive coordinators and their receivers coach.

Landon Hafele. He's not draft eligible until 2026, but expected to be a high 1st Round pick. Alaskan kid who played this year on a loaded Dallas Stars Elite U16 squad featuring Cullen Potter. This is another big get for Powers and ASU!

Five-star Landon Hafele​

A Kansas State team picked to finish second in the Big 12 did not expect to already have two conference losses going into the middle of November. Coming off a bye week that followed a disappointing loss to Houston, the Wildcats will be plenty motivated to atone for that misstep. What can we expect from ASU's Saturday opponent? EMAWOnline Publisher Kevin Fielder offers his thoughts.

"We just have a sense of belief. Our guys believe that when the games are on the line, we're going to make the play.” In a season that has been a constant rebuke of low outside expectations, this weekend, ASU finds itself once again aiming to prove the doubters wrong

One hell of a road test for the Sun Devils. Here are the lineups
