Offense ****ting the bed tonight. Gotta keep ASu off the scoreboard here

Offensive line, much like the defensive line, just getting bullied. Can we bring back Kaz. Please!

It wasn't, but just once I would like to see Dave run on the field and get actually angry about the lack of a call and advocate for his guys a bit.

Why was the coverage team going after the ball there? He could have knocked it into the endzone for a touchback.

Just let the half run out.

OL held up fine early. Last few drives (even the TD drive) the OL is getting mauled

Pressured them on first and second, why not call the last time out and make them snap it one more time? Odds are they run it out but there could always be a fumbled snap.

I mean, just commit to one or the other. Either way.

a bouncing football is incredibly unpredictable. Ball could have very easily bounced towards the endzone. I actually thought that was a smart play going after it to at least try to make an attempt to prevent it from going in the endzone. Better than just watching it and hope.

That thing was clearly heading out of bounds. I'm thinking he thought it was a kickoff that he was trying to cover.

First half report card:

Offense: C
Defense: B
Special Teams: A

Signature Aranda first half...come out flat and get behind early. Slowly defrost and get into the game.

This game is there for the taking.

I hate lazy TV talking heads getting paid big dollars who do no research and just repeat things from years ago. I'm talking about you Chris Petersen. It's not 2015 when Big 12 games were 52-45 and hasn't been that way for 5 years. SEC games are higher scoring games than the Big 12 and so are the ACC games.

It's good to be up 13-10 at the half… oh wait, we've got Dave as our HC

a fraction of change in tilt in the ball and its changing direction... you never assume/wish/hope a bounce bc a football regularly takes unpredictable bounces. Even middle schools are coached that...

I would have taken the over. However, Baylor has been off my board since 2015.

Drives me crazy.

And...when the SEC does it it's elite offense...when the B12 does it it's crappy D

Definitely a brain fart. No way it was going into the end zone. Even it had bounced backwards, it would have bounced but a few yards. Not great coaching...

Couple of weeks ago he went on and on about the elite offenses of Georgia and Tennessee in that 44-41 game and I can't remember the exact Big 12 game but it was like a 38-31 and he was then talking about the lack of defense.

I think there is a new team statistic we're tracking. How many times a players touch a football per game. So today he's in the record books. At games end the one with the most touches get the Baller Trophy.

I know I should be satisfied that Tim Brando is no longer paired with Spencer Tillman, but...

Devin Gardner is really awful. Is he an ASU employee?

I didn't know what to think of their D given the cupcakes so far, and I'm still not sold that Utah has much of an offense, but Tech definitely has players on D who are big, fast, strong, tough and very capable. I walked away impressed.

Tech definitely has playmakers on D. But Utah's QB is not good
