The Arizona State Sun Devils (5-4, 4-2 Pac-12) rebounded from a blowout loss against the USC Trojans last week to defeat the Colorado Buffaloes (5-5, 2-5) by a final score of 41-30 Saturday night in Tempe.
Here’s what we learned from the Sun Devils’ fourth conference victory of the season:
1. The running game — finally — lived up to expectations
After an extremely disappointing first three quarters of the 2017-18 season, Arizona State’s rushing attack finally found its stride Saturday night against Colorado.
Senior tailback Demario Richard carried the ball 25 times for 189 yards and a touchdown, redshirt junior quarterback Manny Wilkins scrambled 14 times for a total of 95 yards and even freshman Eno Benjamin got in on the fun, amassing 52 yards and a touchdown on just five carries.
