Arizona State’s game last week against No. 10 Texas Tech was expected to be a loss. However, an extremely rough game was not expected, but that is what played out. The good Despite a midgame change at quarterback, the receiving offense was rather good. Senior wide receiver Derek Eusebio caught his first receptions of the season, leading the team in receptions and yards at seven and 89, respectively. Sophomore wide receiver Raiden Vines-Bright caught his lone target for 74 ya

Rebilas/Imagn Images It's been a one-sided affair from Galaxy Stadium in Lubbock, and everything has been coming up Red Raiders. 404 yards of total offense, two interceptions, and an overwhelming conversion of big plays have Texas Tech leading 43-10 at the half. J'Koby Williams leads the way for the Red Raiders with 141 yards and 2 touchdowns on 9 carries, while Kenny Johnson has lived up to his billing as Will Hammond's favorite target with 6 catches for 113 y

There is a difference in the levels of football between Arizona State’s last two opponents. Baylor is a one-loss team in the Big 12, arguably the second-best conference this year. Hawaii is a one-win team in the gutted Mountain West Conference, which lost five teams and gained three. That being said, the Sun Devils should play better against Hawaii than they did against Baylor. They did better, but there were still things to improve. The good Arizona State’s rush offense was

Photo: Tom Hardon Coming off the bye week, it was no secret that the Sun Devils would be in for a challenge against a much improved Baylor defense. Turns out, it was the Bears offense that was firing on all cylinders, leaving no doubt in a 55-19 thumping. One of the few bright spots in the game came on the connection late in the second half between Cutter Boley and Omarion Miller, a 30 yard touchdown pass just inside the two minute timeout. After having his impact minimized i

TEMPE- The Arizona State Sun Devils trail the Baylor Bears, 24-13, at halftime in their first game of the nine straight weeks of game-day action. However, the team looks rusty on both ends after spending the past week adjusting to the time change and returning to their daily routines from a two-week road trip in College Station and London. In the first quarter, the Sun Devils' defense allowed the Bears to get a quick head start on the offensive end, recording two touchdowns a

By the time Saturday night rolls around, it will have been 35 days since the Sun Devils have had a home game. Arizona State will keep on the Big 12 side of the schedule, playing host to the Baylor Bears. A repeat opponent from last season, the Sun Devils came away from Waco with a 27-24 win, thanks to

For the first time ever, a college football game has been played in London. And until the next one, all the English will know is that the Sun Devils win football games. Arizona State emerged victorious, beating the Jayhawks 24-17 in the very first iteration of the Union Jack Classic. It was an ugly win, but a win nonetheless. Things started out slow. Kansas went three-and-out on the opening drive, and a 10-play drive for the Sun Devils fizzled out, resulting in a Carson Smith

The time has finally come, the Sun Devils are about to ring in a new era of international college football from Wembley Stadium in London. Before kickoff at 9am, our panel of columnists have their thoughts on what to expect from this matchup with Kansas. David Howman (2-0) This one is really hard for me to forecast just because of the travel element for both teams. Kansas has a stout defense, maybe the best we've seen in the Leipold era, but the offense is inconsistent at bes

Arizona State battles Kansas in the first Union Jack Classic. The Sun Devils have to answer five questions in their first conference game of the season 1. Will the Sun Devils get adjusted to London? Arizona State travelled to London immediately after last Saturday’s game against Texas A&M. That should give the Sun Devils the edge and help them control the chaos. 2. Will junior quarterback Cutter Boley successfully manage the game? Boley threw two interceptions against Texas A

In this week’s Echo From The Buttes film breakdown, we broke down Junior quarterback Cutter Boley’s two interceptions against Texas A&M were game-altering plays. The first play is right after the Texas A&M senior punter Tyler White bobbled the snap and did not get the punt off. Arizona State had the ball on the Texas A&M 34, and if ASU scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion, they would have cut the lead to three. On the first play of the drive, senior tight end Khama

Photo: Val Montanez / The Kansan When the Sun Devils and Jayhawks take to the field on Saturday morning from Wembley Stadium, Andy Kotelnicki’s offense will attempt to do what the Texas A&M offense had limited success in doing: Break through against Brian Ward’s defense. The Sun Devils will be facing a Pro Spread style offense for the second straight week, this time with a more run-focused strategy. Kansas calls for runs about 60-65% of the time, led by dual threat quarterbac

Arizona State played an interesting game against Texas A&M last Saturday. The Sun Devils lost by 28 points but outgained the Aggies by 114 yards. The Good The Sun Devils' rush defense was outstanding, keeping the Aggies to 2.6 yards per rush. The rush defense was a strength last season, and holding the Aggies to 92 yards on 35 attempts is something that can continue into future games. Senior wide receiver Reed Harris logged another outstanding game, hauling in nine receptions

That's right, London is calling this week, pitting the Sun Devils against the Kansas Jayhawks in the first NCAA game held in London. Kansas is coming off a second half drop off of their own, falling in the Border War by a 38-21 final to Missouri last Friday. Both teams will be looking to turn the page on lopsided defeats to cla

Photo: AP Photo/Mitch Alcala Week 2 of the college football season saw the Big 12 conference go toe to toe with other Power 4 conferences, with three matchups against the SEC, two against the Big Ten, and one with the ACC. Arizona State hung tough with No. 10 ranked Texas A&M for three quarters, but a nightmarish final 15 minutes resulted in a 48-20 final. Here’s how the rest of the conference fared in this weekend’s action. No. 23 Missouri 38 | Kansas 21 (Friday) The Jayhawk

Things were looking so good for the Sun Devils. The fourth quarter began at College Station and Arizona State trailed No. 10 Texas A&M by just four points. Given that the Aggies had, to that point, started three different drives in Arizona State territory due to special teams miscues, it was easy to argue that the Sun Devils had been the better team through three. Then the game flipped in a hurry. Standout Aggies receiver Mario Craver came open on a busted coverage assignment

Welcome to Echo from the Buttes' halftime report on Arizona State Sun Devils taking on No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies. The Aggies lead the Sun Devils, 17-10, at halftime. Arizona State's early mistakes, including penalties and a key punt recovery by Texas A&M, have been costly. However, it's fortunate for the Sun Devils that they're only trailing by single digits, as they have over 15 minutes of possession in the first half. Junior quarterback Cutter Boley picks up where he left off

Earlier this week, we opened up our weekly mailbag again to take your questions ahead of a pivotal matchup with No. 10 Texas A&M on the road. Now, we're digging deep into the bag and answering some with just mere hours to go until kickoff. "I know Cutter Boley won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, but looking back on the game did he do anything that truly impressed you?" - Scott from Hattiesburg Back when Cutter Boley first transferred to Arizona State, I did a deep dive o

Photo: Joe Rondone/The Republic The second game day of the season is now upon us, and after much deliberation, our esteemed panel of experts have reached their conclusions on what their expectations for Arizona State’s road matchup with Texas A&M will be. David Howman (1-0) I'm worried that Arizona State's tackles will get eaten alive, and Cutter Boley will inevitably make some costly mistakes while running for his life. Defensively, I expect Brian Ward's unit to do better th

Photo: Joe Rondone/The Republic On the eve of a very tough Week 2 test, the Sun Devils look to be in top shape on the injury report. Only a few notables to report for Arizona State this week; wide receiver Harry Hassmann does not appear on the depth chart after carrying a questionable designation this week, while tight end Khamari Anderson and wide receiver Derek Eusebio both are listed to play after being questionable as well. For the Aggies, head coach Mike Elko announced t

Arizona State football makes its first road trip of the season, visiting Texas A&M. The Sun Devils face their first FBS opponent in No. 11 Texas A&M and will have to answer five questions. 1. Can they handle the noise? Kyle Field is one of the loudest stadiums in the country. Last year, the Sun Devils struggled at times with the cowbells at Mississippi State. Kyle Field is over double the capacity of Davis Wade Stadium, at over 100,000 people. The team practiced with noisy sp
