Arizona State will suit up to host USC Saturday with a lot on the line. A season seemingly headed off the rails, questions regarding the team’s heart, and a last gasp at any hopes of winning the Pac-12 South division hang in the balance this weekend. One thing that won’t be — but should be — on the minds of ASU players and fans, is perspective.
Almost exactly one year after the Sun Devils took on USC in an empty Los Angeles coliseum, they’ll host the Trojans in a packed Sun Devil Stadium. Shake off the acid reflux you may experience from recalling the final minutes of that contest, and consider the circumstances.
