ASU football is feeling good. After a rough non-conference slate, the Sun Devils defeated a good conference opponent by upsetting Oregon last Saturday in Tempe.
Manny Wilkins has been phenomenal pacing the 12th-ranked passing offense in the nation. The junior has taken hits but has done a tremendous job of staying in the pocket and finding receivers down the field. Most surprisingly, ASU has been able to put up points without a strong running game.
Seniors Kalen Ballage and Demario Richard were expected to be key offensive contributors, but due to injuries to Richard and ineffectiveness from Ballage, the running game has been stagnant.
