Let’s put this right at the top: I’m picking Arizona State to pull off the upset Saturday against USC.
Here’s hoping my endorsement isn’t a jinx, but last week I said that coach Todd Graham’s gang needed to prove they were for real, and they did. Unequivocally.
They’ve been doing it all year, and at this point, the Sun Devils (4-3, 3-1) have knocked off ranked and favored opponents and played their way into relevance with a home game against USC (6-2, 4-1) for first place in the Pac-12 South.
ASU has earned some faith outta me.
