The Sun Devils surrendered nearly 400 yards through the air Saturday night to NAU.
It was deja vu in the worst way for Arizona State fans.
The Sun Devil defense was just two plays into its season when it happened again.
Northern Arizona sat on its own 27-yard line, forced into a 3rd-and-long situation. Sophomore quarterback Chase Cookus scanned the field and hit junior wide receiver Elijah Marks 25 yards down the field.
First down.
Two plays later, same situation. ASU had NAU backed into another 3rd-and-long. Cookus took the snap and found junior wideout Emmanuel Butler for a 21 yard gain.
