I'll preface everything in this piece by informing you I've never played or coached organized football. Since that's the first thing out of the mouths of players or coaches who are criticized, let's just get that out of the way right now. I've studied the sport, though. As I sat and watched ASU fall behind 24 [...]

If we thought this injury thing with ASU was getting old earlier this season, what are we supposed to think now?Free safety Max Tabach, who has been getting more and more reps in the deep secondary in the past three games, tore his ACL in the loss at C...

Even though the non-conference games are few and far between at this point in the season, the Pac-10 still isn't missing any opportunities to fall all over themselves. Oregon State and Stanford both had road non-cons this past weekend, and they both lost. Admittedly, they were both tough games...OSU lost on Thursday night at unbeaten [...]

Photo: Ben Margot/AP To call Arizona State's offense vanilla, would be an insult to vanilla. ASU's offense has all the flavor of a communion wafer, and that lack of flair was never more evident than in Saturday's 24-14 loss to California in Berkeley. The Sun Devils continually tried to establish their running game despite the fact that they [...]

In a conference that was completely turned upside down by Oregon State's shocking upset win over USC one week ago, this Saturday's matchup between Arizona State and California holds a lot of importance in determining how the Pac-10 standings will look in early December. Outside of last year's 31-20 win, some ASU's ugliest recent performances have [...]

Bad news for the Arizona State Sun Devils. Linebacker Gerald Munns, who was named the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Week following the Devils' win over Stanford, will miss the rest of the season for personal reasons. Munns' absence creates even bigger problems for a defense that has struggled mightily to make things happen. [...]

There's not another conference in the country that is more upside down than the Pac-10 right now. The only certainty was that nobody was going to touch USC. Well they got touched alright. They got downright fondled in Corvallis by Oregon State. No other real surprises this week in the Fanster Pac-10 Power [...]

Before this season started, the question, "When is ASU's most important game of 2008?" was bandied about among fans, on message boards and on talk radio. The two most popular answers, without hesitation, were Georgia and at USC.And why not? Before the ...

Can't honestly say that anyone really saw this coming.USC can't stop Jacquizz Rodgers. Period. He's already got 117 yards rushing and 22 more through the air. Lyle Moevao, the subject of many a fat joke on this here blog, is running roughshod over the ...
