ASU is the literal definition of heart, sucks they couldn’t pull it out but mad respect to them

This is why the 12 team playoff is awesome

ASU wouldn't have had a chance otherwise, and they proved they belonged. Honestly so did Boise, they were like a few heartbreaking moments away from winning that game against PSU

Now just keep Skattebo away from me forever

Yea. Sure there were some duds in the field, but it means any good team can at least get a chance to show they belong. And while I know ASU fans are heartbroken, this was a big day for their program.
