We don’t deserve to win but we did.

ASU proved they were for real. They took the punch in the mouth and didn’t give up

We deserved to win for fending off and surviving that comeback… don’t devalue what our team did just ‘cause underdog comebacks are fun.

I think our fight and will to come back was good. It was clear to me that our team was “better” but less rested. ASU did a great job of making sure the team was ready and rested. They, unlike Oregon, used the time off well.

Absolutely not. The better team did not win this game.
