Continuing our “Behind Enemy Lines” series, we caught up with Spartan Avenue site expert Connor Muldowney (@ConnorMuldowney) ahead of Arizona State’s upcoming matchup with No. 15 Michigan State.
Kick off between the Sun Devils and Spartans is on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. PT from Sun Devil Stadium.
The Spartans produced a top-10 defense in 2017 and returned a majority of starters. What was the disconnect against Utah State (allowed 31 points) and how do the Spartans prepare for an ASU team that put up 49 points in its opener?
Not to be overly technical, but the defense allowed 24 points and the other seven was on a pick-six, so the unit didn’t fare horribly, especially against the run.
