Mountain America Stadium Hosts Arizona State Sun Devils Versus Oklahoma State Cowboys Football Match

As the Arizona State Sun Devils prepare to host the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Mountain America Stadium, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting game of football. The Sun Devils, coming off a narrow victory against Southern Utah with a score of 24-21 on September 1st, showed resilience and an ability to close out tight games.

The ASU offense demonstrated versatility in their previous outing, achieving balance between the air and ground attack. With 236 passing yards and two touchdowns through the air complemented by 135 rushing yards and another score on the ground, they showcased their dual-threat capability. The efficiency within the red zone was impeccable; ASU converted all three opportunities into touchdowns.


Defensively, while they didn't register any sacks against Southern Utah, they did force a fumble which speaks to their ability to create turnovers when needed. However, there's room for improvement as they allowed over twenty points and will need to tighten up against an OKS team that is known for its offensive prowess.


On special teams, ASU's kicking game was solid with a perfect field goal attempt from within 39 yards out and all extra points converted successfully. This could be crucial in what might shape up as another close contest.


The opposing side should not be underestimated though; OKS comes into this matchup with their own set of strengths that could pose challenges for ASU. In particular, OKS has shown tenacity on defense which could test the Sun Devils' offensive line.


Looking back at one of last season's more challenging games for ASU against Oregon State Beavers on November 19th where they lost 31-7 despite being at home – it’s clear that maintaining possession will be key for them going forward. They only held onto the ball for just over twenty-five minutes in that game while also turning it over once without forcing any takeaways themselves.


For this upcoming clash scheduled on September 9th at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe AZ starting at 10:30 PM local time (broadcasted by Fox Sports 1), fans can expect ASU to come out determined to leverage their home-field advantage and continue building momentum after their recent win. It will be essential for them to control both lines of scrimmage if they hope to emerge victorious against a formidable Oklahoma State squad.


Sun Devil supporters should mark their calendars and tune into Fox Sports satellite channel number two hundred nineteen or make sure they're seated comfortably under the lights of Mountain America Stadium come kickoff time – this is one game you won't want to miss!
