5 questions ahead of Arizona State's battle against Kansas in London


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&M last week. He struggled with interceptions in his time at Kentucky.
3. Will special teams improve?
Sixth-year Carson Smith has been the lone bright spot on special teams this season. The Sun Devils need to make some strides on special teams to compete with the best teams in the NCAA, especially with punting and returns.
4. Who will have breakout games on the offense?
After having five running backs, a pair of wide receivers, and a tight end score touchdowns in week 1, last week was the Reed Harris show. The senior wide receiver caught the Sun Devils' pair of touchdowns. Senior running back Kyson Brown and senior wide receiver Omarion Miller are both looking for performances similar to their week one stats against Morgan State.
5. How many takeaways will the defense get?
International games can be chaotic. So far this season, the Sun Devil defense only has one takeaway, an Ashton Stamps interception, which came last week. The defense needs to force more turnovers to help the overall turnover margin.
