After a thrilling 4th quarter comeback, the Texas Longhorns dethroned preseason No. 1 Ohio State after their 24-23 win at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. One of three major upsets on Saturday, the Buckeyes dropped 5 spots in voters eyes after letting a 23-3 lead after 3 quarters slip away. Oregon plummeted from No. 6 all the way to No. 21 after t

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

Now, we're digging deep into the bag and answering some with just mere hours to go until kickoff.

The Sun Devils draw an early test for the season as they travel to College Station to face the No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies. Coming off a College Football Playoff appearance a year ago and featuring a Heisman contending quarterback in Marcel Reed, the Aggies will be a daunting challenge. More daunting is the location itself. Kyle Field, the original Home of the 12th Man, is known to be one of the most intimidating game day environments in the sport. Drawing this stadium as the Sun

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

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
