By the end of the first half, the Arizona State Sun Devils (7-5, 6-3 Pac-12) looked like a sinking ship.
“The first half wasn’t what we wanted and we couldn’t get much going,” ASU coach Todd Graham said.
The case switched almost immediately in the third quarter as the Devils put up 21 unanswered points in the third quarter alone and buried the Arizona offense for most of the half, winning 42-30.
There were plenty of reasons why the Devils were able to pick up the victory and perhaps the biggest reason was how they turned it around at the start of the third quarter.
