Arizona State Almost Blew the Last Game

Arizona State dominated the first game against Wyoming 48-7 but in the last game against Mississippi State, they almost blew it. Arizona State scored 30 points and they ended up winning by seven points. At halftime, they were up 27-3 but in the second half, they struggled. In the 4th quarter, they were outscored 13-0 and they ended up winning by only seven points. In the last game, it was all about the running game. 

Sam Leavitt completed 10 of his 20 passes for 69 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The running game was wild led by Cameron Skattebo who finished with 33 carries for 262 yards but he didn’t find the end zone. In the first game, Leavitt threw more, and they needed to have a more balanced attack. 

Texas State Has An Opportunity Here

Texas State has quite the chance here. Not often do teams like Arizona State head to places like Texas State to play football. In the first game of the season against Lamar, Texas State won 34-27, and in the last game against UTSA, Texas State won 49-10. In the last game against UTSA, Texas State was up 35-3 and they never looked back on the way to the win. 

Quarterback Jordan McCloud completed 18 of his 27 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Lincoln Pare had a strong game running the ball finishing with 11 carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Chris Dawn Jr had a huge game finishing with five carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns. If Texas State wants a chance in this game they are going to need to do the defense to step up here. 

Arizona State vs Texas State Prediction

Texas State is going to have no issue here. I don’t really like the way Arizona State’s offense looked in the last game in the second half, and Sam Leavitt can’t be trusted here. The Sun Devils’ defense is going to struggle here against Texas State, and the Bobcats are going to have no issue running up the score here. Arizona State’s offense isn’t going to be keeping up here, and Texas State will get the job done here. Back Texas State against the spread here.
