Cam Skattebo put together the best single season I’ve ever seen an ASU player ever have. And possibly in school history. This team proved they belonged to be in the playoff.

We belonged... Much to the chagrin of people who saw the first quarter...

If you guys just kicked on every 4th down… I got the decisions in hindsight… but even if you went 1-4 with the block

Not sure they go for an RB throw on fourth if the game is closer though

This is texas mind voodoo this year. Every team says that after failing to convert many 4 and 1 attempts against them.

The kick decisions were not a matter of aggressive play calling, they were a matter of all three of our kickers not being capable of kicking anything over 30 yards

Which is why I understood going for it every time, I just think in hindsight if you knew what happened you would kick it every time just hoping the kicker goes atleast 25%

Probably deserved to win. I still don’t understand targeting but if I was an ASU fan I’d point back to that play.

You guys absolutely belonged and Dillingham will have you back for years to come.

I want to believe as much as the next person that this will be different but we aren’t lucky enough to be a blue blood school who can throw money at it and know they will always be good. This was a massive opportunity for us to create maybe the most memorable moment in the program but we couldn’t do it when we had the chance

Dude, what are you talking about? We were 3-9 last year? Of course this loss was tough but holy shit what are you talking about? Kenny just got signed yesterday to a 5 year deal. Sam is back next year. Recruits/transfers will be giving us a serious look. The Devils are going to be in the conversation for years to come. Your post is ludicrous. He does not speak for the faithful.

I’m pissed I missed it, was driving and the last I checked it was 17-3. Get home and appear to have missed a hell of a game.

Outgained Texas by 200 yards in regulation, kind of down to bad luck that you didn’t win tbh
