Just over four months ago, the Arizona State Sun Devils (4-4, 3-2 Pac-12) were picked to finish second-to-last in the Pac-12 preseason media poll.
After a dreadful 1-2 start that saw ASU embarrassed by SDSU running back Rashaad Penny and the perennially high-powered Texas Tech Red Raider offense in consecutive contests, the Devils looked every bit the team that was selected to finish above only the Arizona Wildcats.
But then something clicked.
Arizona State came in to week four as massive underdogs to Oregon, but outlasted the Ducks in a shootout.
