Arizona State on Saturday dropped its final non-conference contest, 52-45 at Texas Tech. The Sun Devils are 1-2 for the first time since 1999.
Let's review:
3 takeaways
1. ASU showed something. For most of the first half, the Sun Devils looked like they were on their way to getting routed. They had snapping issues, tackling breakdowns and special-teams mistakes. They trailed 21-3, 35-17 and 42-24. Yet, somehow they pulled themselves together and gave themselves a chance. Yes, only wins matter. But Saturday's comeback was the season's most positive development.
