Oregon leads Arizona State by two scores in a game that could decide the outcome of the Pac-12 South. Here are two observations from the first half that have hindered the Sun Devils.
Spreading the field
For much of the first half, ASU appeared to revert back to a one-dimensional, run-heavy style that looked predictable in earlier losses to Colorado and Stanford.
Sophomore Eno Benjamin received 14 first-half carries, gaining just 48 yards with a game-high 25 yards amounting for more than half of his production.
Oregon has successfully controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, giving quarterback Manny Wilkins little time to go through progressions or scramble while stifling a potent rushing attack.
