Basically they are. They do a decent job of pass protection as long as play action is a realistic threat. I’m curious to see what 3rd and long looks like especially against the Texas edge rushers. 

Hopefully Simmons’ speed and length destroys their tackle guards and disrupts many run and pass plays.

Leavitt also has to be accounted for since he is slippery and can make plays with his feet. The interior and edges need to contain and collapse the pocket. No doubt our DL can overmatch their OL, but undisciplined play will result in Leavitt breaking free for gains. Assignment sound football will take care of both Leavitt and Skattebo -- game over.

Clemson was a great warmup for ASU. Clemson kept it "close" because Klubnik played lights out. Even then, the game was never really in doubt. Clemson is much better than ASU. Only way ASU keeps it close is if Quinn throws 3 picks and Sark goes deeper in his let's try to be genius and drastically go away with what's working. We pull away in the 2nd half cause their lines are tired of getting fucked up the ass with no lube.

play a clean game and we roll. 

This where I am at. Turnovers and penalties have haunted Texas all year. That was cleaned up vs Clemson. Keep it clean and this is a beating

I would have James Harden do an infomercial on the social life of athletes at ASU. Maybe even just make him the school’s minister of culture and have him show the new recruits how to get even more women with all that NIL money. Perhaps he could even get the basketball team a few Big XII caliber basketball players and a real basketball coach.

Yeah this is the most obvious thing I saw vs Clemson. It looked like Texas especially on offense just had a different gear than they did. Clemson has a much better offensive line and defensive line than ASU size and speed wise, so I imagine any mismatch we saw there will be more pronounced here. 

 Very pronounced, but it’s cool. UT wins easily and I can still pull for them to finish the deal. It will be fun to see the aggy implosion with the Horns winning it all in their first year in the big boy conference. Aggy will keep on doing humorous aggy things on and off the field that never results in anything outside of mediocrity.

What i learned from the Georgia video guy is that we feasted on UMs cover 3 earlier this year. 

My take from that guy was a bit more than that. Primarily, it was a complete lack of any attempt to disguise or vary the scheme that was the real issue. It made it very simple for Ewers and Sark to read, slice and dice.

Small up front, but this season is the result of a cohesive offensive line, a fun back with an excellent name, a young QB playing well and a head coach that is quickly ascending to being one of the elite coaches in the college game at age 34.

None of that means a whole lot as the season ends on January 1st. Considering this was supposed to be a year of being a bottom feeder I think this has been more than a sufficiently excellent season. Perhaps some of the longer tenured ASU folks can speak more to that since football mostly has done a whole lot of nothing for a long time. Where ASU has an advantage over every program in the Big XII is location combined with hopefully a willingness to spend going forward. The next thing Coach Dillingham should do is get in some bigger guys upfront. Go put a sign up in American Samoa advertising free cars or whatever for recruits. Just get some big fellas up front on defense. I trust him to make some really good decisions. 

 

ASU fans have every reason to be pleased with this year and optimistic about the future. This team has far exceeded expectations and coaching has made it more than the sum of its parts. Based on class and portal rankings, ASU has talent in the top 30-40 range. Yet here they are in the CFP.

ASU is over matched in this game. There is nothing to analyze, it would be like comparing the Grenada military to the United States prior to the invasion.

ASU doesn't have a defense and will make Wisner and Blue look like Bijan and Rojo are in the back field. Their secondary is trash and will allow Ewers to find open receivers and feast. Not to mention their d-line will get blown off the line all night.

They have Scatteboo and a freshman qb that has never met a hard pipe hitting defense like Texas before. Our d-line will storm through their offensive line. The Texas defensive front seven is going to blitzkrieg their offense all day.

I was told there would be anus.


the only other thing I can add to this thread is that I like ASU’s shade of maroon. Vastly superior to the seared plum bullshit that Aggies wear. I also like Dillingham and the whole vibe of ASU’s program this year. They came to party. Shame we’re going to bounce them, otherwise I would be pulling for them through the post season.

It doesn't worry me, but in the first half we will probably see a lot more passing than running yet I bet we will be averaging over 6 yards per run.

I alluded to #0 Jordyn Tyson earlier. He was lost for the season against Arizona and it’s hard to overstate his importance to the ASU offense. Prior to his injury Tyson had 75 catches for 1101 yards and 10 TDs. This was over 40% of total receiving yards and 60% of production from the WR position.

Troy Omire (3-19 this season) started the CCG in his place. The most productive receiver that will play in the Peach Bowl is speedy #1 Guillory: 19 catches, 320 yards and 5 TDS. On 3rd downs, I expect ASU to look for TE #7 Metayer: 29 catches, 290 yards, 5 TDs. 

The RBs role in the passing game is mostly around the LOS: screens, swing passes and check downs. Skataboo is 37-506-3. The backup is Lancaster’s Kyson Brown: 12-175-1.

Tyson was the only receiver who could plausibly demand double coverage. I don’t think any of the rest can make Texas distort its scheme to account for them. He’s an enormous loss in both production and scheme.

That loss was for sure a big one. Taking away the receiver that was the best from a young QB will probably lead to some predictable results against a team that’s far and away the best ASU will have seen this year. This will be a good learning experience I think in how to deal with adversity early and often against a supremely superior opponent in the Horns.

Oh for sure. It is one of the better coaching jobs anyone has done in a good long while considering the talent discrepancy. I paid scant attention back in August. I figured that maybe being in the Big XII would equal a bowl game if everything went really well. I like that this job is Dillingham’s dream job. He obviously is putting in not just work, but the positivity he exudes seems to translate really well to how his players respond to him. Sometimes coaches and schools just match at the right time. I think he could have a Gary Patterson type of career with some higher highs if he can build a better defense and bring in more talented players over the next 3-4 seasons.

ASU is at a significant talent and size disadvantage.  You don't need to dig very deep to figure that out.

This is a rebuild.  It's going to still be a rebuild next year.   They just started winning long before anyone expected it, because Dillingham is a really good young coach and the Big 12 is kind of dogshit.  The Big 12 can't out-talent ASU despite its massive losses from the Edwards implosion.  This game will probably be a blowout, but... Sometimes irrational confidence goes a long ways.
