In their last encounter with the Huskies, despite a valiant effort on defense with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries, the Sun Devils fell short in scoring efficiency. Their red zone conversion rate was just 33 percent and they struggled on third down conversions as well. However, they showed improvement in their most recent game by securing more points and demonstrating better control over possession time.


The team's performance against Colorado Buffaloes also provides insights into their capabilities. They displayed strong defensive prowess with five sacks and seven tackles for loss but were narrowly defeated with a score of 27-24. This close contest highlighted both offensive potential through passing yards and areas for improvement such as penalty yardage which amounted to 88 yards.


Against California Golden Bears, while the offense managed an impressive total of 430 yards including a significant contribution from passing plays, turnovers proved costly in their narrow defeat of 24-21.


The upcoming match promises to be an exciting one as Arizona State looks to capitalize on its home advantage at Mountain America Stadium where they have shown competitive spirit even amidst challenging games. Fans can expect determination from the Sun Devils as they aim to build upon their latest win and rectify past shortcomings.


The game is scheduled for October 29th at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, AZ. Fans can catch all the action live on Pac-12 Network and support their team as they take on another conference rival under what are sure to be electric stadium lights.
