Pokes open with nightmare start at Arizona State

The Jay Sawvel era of Cowboy football is off to a less than ideal start as the Cowboys dropped their opening game 48-7 to the Arizona State Sun Devils.

There aren’t many positives for the battered and beaten Cowboys in their season opener, as they leave Tempe with almost as many injured players as first downs in the game. Tyrecus Davis, Isaac White, Nathan Geiger, DeVonne Harris and Connor Shay all exited the game with injuries for the Cowboys, fortunately none of which seem too serious for the Pokes at this time.

Starting quarterback Evan Svoboda never could get going, as he was only 6/15 with 42 yards passing the ball to complement two interceptions, one of which was a pick six on his first pass attempt of the night on the second play of the game.
