In a season in that has brought about adversity at seemingly every turn for ASU football, Saturday’s game against Colorado proved to be no different.
The way it responded was.
The Sun Devils (5-4, 4-2) have faced late deficits before. Entering the fourth quarter they trailed San Diego State by 13, Texas Tech by seven, Stanford by 14 and USC by 21. But in all four instances, the Sun Devils walked away with a loss.
The same fate seemed to be heading their way after Colorado (5-5, 2-5) led by 10 entering the fourth quarter. But despite Colorado’s advantage on the scoreboard, ASU led in total plays, yards, rushing yards, time of possession and penalties.
