Who would've thought that ASU, Utah and Colorado would be leading the PAC South at this juncture in the season..??
Not me, that's for sure...I thought we would be 4-0 but I never thought the Buffs would beat the Ducks in Eugene or that USC, UCLA and AU would all lose during the same weekend, although they all lost the first weekend of the season...
The problem, of course, is that you cannot write off either USC, that has now found a QB or UCLA that has a proven big time QB in Westwood...
AU, on the other hand, is now looking at playing UCLA and Utah on the road and then USC and Stanford at home during the next month...
ASU now has to play USC, UCLA and Colorado in the coming weeks and the Buffs are obviously a vastly improved team these days...
As far as the game last night is concerned, the Devils followed a well established script that includes giving up a lot of passing yardage in big chunks and another long distance pass for a TD but still found a way to win a wild game at the end...
If you like cliffhangers then Tempe is the place to be on Saturday nights in the Valley...
Fortunately for us, the Bears were in a giving mood during the last six minutes of the game as we got all three of our turnovers then that led to game, set and match...
Chad Hansen is a great WR and made some incredible catches and Davis Webb is a gifted QB, who put up big numbers but also made a couple of critical mistakes done the stretch that killed the Bears chances for the win...
This is to take nothing away from the ASU defense that came up with those big plays at the end to seal the win...
We are now two wins away from becoming bowl eligible and we also have a chance now to compete for the South and Conference championships...
We've now won two games against Texas Tech and Cal where they had more than 600 yards of total offense but lost which is pretty darn incredible...
I don't know who is going to win the game between the Devils and Trojans next week but I'm sure that we are going to give up vast amounts of yardage on defense and some long scoring plays but we may still find a way to win the game...
I wasn't too impressed by our OL play last night and our running game never really materialized like I thought it would but Manny managed the game pretty well and, if he could get a little better in the passing game, we could probably become that much more dangerous...
I also worry about him running so much but you have to do what you have to do in order to win...
The return of Fiso was obviously big and our special teams were very good, while the Bears on-sides kick at the end was a disaster for them...Calhoun will always have that great memory even if he should have just fallen down with the ball so the Devils could've run out the clock at that point...
What were you most pleased with in the game and what were you most displeased with in it..??
Have a great day mates and Go Devils!!!
