Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports Could this be a future conference matchup? With the Pac-12 looking at expansion, I think SDSU is at the top of the wish list for the conference. Utah wants to get revenge on that loss from a season ago. Both teams are 1-1 but lost a winnable game to Florida while SDSU got thumped by Arizona. Utah is a big favorite, and if they play that way and take care of business, they should come away with a nice win. If they are a bit sluggish, this could be much closer than needed. Can Cam Rising and crew get payback? Let’s find out. First Quarter: SDSU 0 Utah 0 It’s a defensive ..read more

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports The Utes are in the desert to take on a very wounded ASU team who fired Herm Edwards this past week. If you’re at all like me, I have too much USC PTSD from when they fired their coaches and played Utah right after. Utah is the better team, no doubt, but like the coaches and players said all week, a wounded animal is scary. For the Utes, the hope is to get off to a strong start, which has eluded them the past two weeks. I have a hunch that Cam Rising and the crew on offense will have to bury ASU. I think ASU and those athletes will get some yards and points against Ut ..read more

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports The circus that has been the Arizona State football program reached peak levels of absurdity last week after head coach Herm Edwards was fired (seemingly on his home field, just seconds after Eastern Michigan upset the Sun Devils), becoming the second coaching casualty early in the season after Nebraska parted ways with Scott Frost one week prior. Despite the turmoil, drama, and controversy that will undoubtedly define the Herm Edwards era, the Sun Devils have been consistently good for most of the PAC-12 era, making a bowl game every season since 2016 (excluding the ..read more

Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports Scores and Recaps It was another solid week for the PAC 12 conference with a few big wins over ranked opponents. Next week conference play gets underway. 7 San Diego State Aztecs 35 (#14) Utah Utes Utah got off to a slow start in the first quarter. Thankfully, the Utes defense was incredibly strong and held Burmeister to only 5 yards passing for the entire first half. The running game did not produce either for the Aztecs and once the Utah offensive line gave Cam Rising protection he took full advantage in the second quarter. Rising threw for 3 touchdown passes i ..read more
