Last week, the Cowboys found themselves down a touchdown within the opening seconds of the game after starting quarterback Evan Svoboda’s first pass attempt of the night resulted in a pick six.
It was a flurry of mistakes that snowballed after that pick six that led to the Cowboys dropping their road opener to Arizona State 48-7. A sluggish Cowboy defense allowed the Sun Devils 499 yards of offense, while the Pokes’ careless offensive attack gave up three possessions, two of which resulted in defensive touchdowns for the Sun Devils. Combined, both units also had seven penalties in that one sided affair in Tempe.
