ASU got beaten by Hawai'i 41-24 in the Hawai'i Bowl, Leading 10-3 at the half, but down 24-10 late in the third, ASU rallied for two touchdowns and had a third negated by penalty to nearly pull out a final win for Koetter.

ASU are playing #3 USC this evening. The game last year was a classic, although ASU lost 38-28 after leading 21-3 at the half. Here is what I wrote last year. I have my doubts that today's game will be quite as close. Update #1: End of the first half and ASU are down 21-7. Once again, ASU have no…
