ASU beat a mediocre Colorado 21-3 to go 3-0 for the season so far.

It's the last regular season game for ASU - the Territorial Cup game against the University of Arizona Wildcats. At the beginning of the season, I don't think anyone would have predicted that ASU would have a 3-5 PAC-10 record and U of A (4-4) would have beaten three ranked opponents in a row…
Unranked ASU is playing #14 Oregon. I was supposed to be at the game, but had to attend to family business instead. At the half it is 24-3 for the Ducks, despite ASU having nearly five minutes extra possession, less penalties, and less turnovers. We don't have a quarterback (Carpenter is 5 for 14,…
