ASU vs. TTU: Sun Devils seek to regain winning record in must-win Lubbock showdown
The phrase must-win” should have already swiftly entered the minds of Arizona State’s players and coaches heading into just week three.
An underwhelming 37-31 performance against New Mexico State, then a 30-20 loss to San Diego State that seemed a slap in the face, puts the Sun Devils in danger of falling to 1-2 for the first time since 1999.
Last year, it seemed the winner of the Arizona State Sun Devils (1-1) and Texas Tech Red Raiders’ (1-0) 68-55 shootout was whoever would score last. With Texas Tech’s bold ability to score in air raid fashion and inability to defend effectively, this year’s contest, starting at on Saturday at 5 p.m. MT, may feel the same way.
