Happy Sunday, guys. Here are the full notes/tidbits sent to us following Friday night's win and heading into the first game of Pac-12 play:
—The UTSA 16-point comeback win is the largest road deficit comeback win since 39-28 win at SDSU on 9/14/02 (ASU trailed by 22).
BIGGEST COMEBACKS FOR @FOOTBALLASU (1996-PRESENT)
22- ASU 39, @San Diego State 28 (Sept. 14, 2002)/ASU trailed 22-0 in the second
21- ASU 42, @UCLA 34 (Oct. 12, 1996)/ASU Trailed 28-7 in the first
19- ASU 44, Oregon State 24 (Sept. 22, 2007)/ASU trailed 19-0 6:20 in the first

* ASU is now halfway (3-0) to becoming bowl eligible (six wins).
* ASU's defense allowed only one first down over UTSA's final five possessions.
* ASU has 13 rushing touchdowns in 2016; ASU had just 19 in all of last season.
* Redshirt sophomore quarterback Manny Wilkins is the first ASU QB since Jeff Krohn in 2000 to win his first three career starts.
* ASU is 13 of 13 in red zone scoring opportunities in 2016; was 51.5-percent in red zone last year.
* ASU is averaging 46.5 points per game in four games under Chip Lindsey.
* Running back Kalen Ballage surpassed 1,000 career rushing yards Friday at UTSA.
* ASU is No. 3 nationally in first downs at 86.
* ASU is No. 4 nationally in Net Punting at 45.67
* ASU is No. 4 nationally in Punt Return Defense at 0.00
* ASU is No. 1 nationally in Red Zone Offense at 1.000
* ASU is No. 1 in rush defense in the Pac-12 at 73.7. Cal is last at 296.7.
* ASU is No. 2 in the Pac-12 in sacks given up at 1.33 per game, only behind Stanford.
* ASU is No. 1 in the Pac-12 in first downs with 86.
* ASU is No. 1 in the Pac-12 in third down conversions at 53.3.
* ASU is two of three on fourth down conversions.
**ASU has a young offensive line in 2016, having replaced four starters from last year. The squad has been without redshirt freshman starting right tackle Zach Robertson for the past two games. Even so, thus far the play of the unit has been fairly impressive.
