Last Saturday's debacle in Houston was the product of multiple influences for the Arizona State Sun Devils. Poor offensive line play, dropped balls from receivers and continued special teams woes hampered the Sun Devils against Texas A&M in what will be looked back on as a missed opportunity.
But despite the fact that they barely eclipsed 150 yards of collective offense in the first three quarters combined, the Sun Devils were within three yards of pay dirt to pull themselves back within one possession of the Aggies. Mike Bercovici took the shotgun snap, read the defense and handed off to Demario Richard, who was stuffed in the backfield.
