First half was UGLY. Second half wasn’t too bad especially if you account for this being the 1st real road game and the 1st Pac12 opponent of the year. ASU looked terrible, but when all is said and done I wouldn’t be surprised if they are flirting with a .500 record much like last year.
ASU has some players and played a much more difficult non-con so I was surprise that they came out flat. I often hear how important it is to schedule at least two solid opponents in non-con to prepare your team for conference play, but that wasn’t the case last night.
For me what stood out was just how important Noah is to this team. I heard many say it hear and could see it to some extent, but man when he is in the team flows much better. We really need another player or two to be able to stand in the gap when Noah is out, much like he did last year when Bonton was out.
Overall great win in this early season. Excited for Saturday. Got 15 of us heading over. Early December, 3pm game time, quality Pac-12 opponent, what else could you ask for? Well maybe free beer.
