Bear Down Wildcats

Who watching this game, I would love to see how ASU defense handle WSU offense.

ASU lead 7-0

asu is a better team than the UofA and I have a feeling Graham will run up the score against the Cats for what happened last year.

ASu is gonna tear WSU a new one.

Also, I don't watch a lot of Fox Sports but these commentators are awful.

Well right now ASU got the ball again moving down pretty good.

Our game against them last was neck and neck.

I know, Graham is probably pissed they lost and lhe Cats got the Pac-12 South title. Plus, he does not like RichRod.

14 to 0 asu lead.

Asu looks good.

WSU throw INT gave the ball back ASU. Maybe it just good defense.

*falk misses his reciever by at least 10 yards and its easily picked*

fox announcer: man that db is NFL caliber!

Every time we watch any team from our conference beat a team that we lose too, It make us look so damn bad again an again.

Graham take the FG.

Lol

I wish Arizona had ASU defense.

Are you joking? Their defense sucks. The only adjustment you need to make is realize they are bringing 5-6 blitzers on every single play and absolutely shred them up the middle with quick slants to open up a deep pass.

Guess what cordera, WSU figured it out already

First I didn't say it like we need to have ASU defense where they are big and physical and can also put pressure on opposing team Unlike our smaller and undersized that cant put pressure to save it life.

IF someone still want to say that ASU defense suck and their holding WSU too 3 point and got pressure to QB. I don't know what to say.

All it proves is that if you play Wazzu like Arizona did and drop 7-8 guys into coverage and apply zero pressure, the QB will pick you to pieces. Which is why you try to apply pressure on the QB any way you can: blitzing, changing your defensive scheme, etc...

Fishclamps would like to have a word with you.

Also, WSU is playing like they've never seen pressure before. Almost every play there's a free defender about to smack Falk.

lol

inadvertent whistle leads to wsu td

If the scummies lose the game today they are going to be really pissed. I love it.

Well, credit ASU for mixing up their scheme and bringing pressure from every which way. It's certainly better than Arizona's strategy of playing the same stale defense and getting dissected for 600 yards passing. Wazzu was a very winnable game for us. In fact, despite our injuries, we should've been able to do enough to win. Instead, we play just good enough to get beat.
I've never liked prevent defense and it seems like that is Arizona's style these days. No wonder we don't force any turnovers. And yet, we still get burned on big plays that our defense is designed to avoid.

What was the official call on the first of those two 4th downs? The ref pooped down his leg?

The ref blew the whistle before the play was dead, therefore an inadvertent whistle and WSU gets to choose if they want to replay the down.

Score?

17-14 WSU.

After the TD the WSU WR got flagged for Unsportsmanlike Conduct because he gave a fan a high five.

That last penalty might as well have been "Unsportsmanlike Conduct - Being a Human".

Literally everyone but the Pirate knew that fake was coming.

Total brain fart by the pirate.

ASu defense coming unraveled. Seems like their defense appears highly competent for a stretch, and then they give up a few giant plays that can turn the game. It's gotta be heartbreaking. At least with our defense I can just expect an implosion and there isn't any sudden gut wrenching play.

Nope I guess WSU didn't want to win this game

Lol

Another game ending berco pick

Which also wasn't a pick but the refs upheld the call anyways

I love the smell of burnt Scum Devil on a Saturday afternoon.

Soooooo . . . is Madonna still talking that Natty talk? Say what you will about RR, he didn't blow smoke up our asses about our prospects this year.

To answer your question from before cordera, yes asu's defense is still total garbage. The only reason it worked at all when it did is because you can't expect a freshman qb to be used to getting blitzed on every single down.

That being said, I still say their defense is awful and transparent as shit

ASU's defense requires superb safety play to be effective. Prior to this season I cautioned the loss of Damarious Randall to the NFL might be a bigger deal than some realize. When you bring pressure like ASU does you leave your secondary on an island. There is a reason Randall was a 1st round pick. There is a true freshman playing his spot this year and it shows. Jordan Simone is a liability in coverage, and smart offensive coordinators will try to isolate either of ASU's safeties. They have been very good against the run, but the passing game will kill you in the PAC

When they had Carl Bradford and Will Sutton they didn't blitz 6 like they do now.

Yeah because it tends to leave the middle of the field wide open

Leach was asked what kind of adjustments he made against asu. He said they stole some of Asus signs the first half and adjusted for the second half. ROFL.

lol
