ASU's answer to poor tackling: Better angles

Not long after returning to Tempe, Arizona State's Keith Patterson turned on the game film from last week's loss at Colorado. The defensive coordinator didn't show the entire game, just a few plays. And he didn't have to say much.

The Sun Devils knew.

ASU has had tackling issues throughout this season, but the Sun Devils bottomed out against the Buffaloes. Patterson wouldn't provide a number of missed tackles, but he said it might have been the defense's worst tackling performance over the three seasons he's been here. And it wasn't just one person. It was everybody.
