In many ways, last week’s win over then-No. 5 Washington was the worst game of the season for the Arizona State Sun Devils offense. But for the much-maligned ASU offensive line, things were looking up.
Against one of the fiercest fronts in the Pac-12, if not the country, the front five allowed redshirt junior quarterback Manny Wilkins to be sacked just twice.
Next up are the Utah Utes, a team that rarely leaves a game without roughing up an opposing passer, especially against Arizona State.
In the last two games these teams played, both Ute wins, Utah has compiled 16 sacks, including 11 in a 49-26 win at Sun Devil Stadium a season ago.
