Despite battling few ups and downs, ASU is off to a great start to the season with a record of 5-1 overall and being ranked 17th in the AP Top 25 this week.

Their win over WSU was an exciting game to watch with great plays on both sides of the ball. The Cougars came out swinging in the first quarter getting out to a 10-0 lead, but the Sun Devils came back to tie before the half at 17 a piece.

Surprisingly, we learned during the second half of the game that Eno Benjamin actually had been suffering from the flu beforehand, yet still came onto the field to gain some great carries and a touchdown for ASU. Also, giving credit where credit is due, Brandon Aiyuk, with some good carries and an 80-yard touchdown before the half. We have to give it to freshman quarterback, Jayden Daniels, though for his airborne hit on what looked to be the last drive of the game to but the Sun Devils up 38-34, and then to ASU's defense for holding back the Cougar's offense to seal their win.

This coming week may be the Sun Devil's most anticipated game yet in the season, when they head to Salt Lake City to take on the Utes, ranking 13th currently in the AP Top 25 poll. It may be a new test for Daniels, as historically the Utes defense always causes problems for Pac-12 teams, not to mention Tyler Huntley, the Utes starting quarterback who's given life to Utah offensively. It will be a big game for either team this season, as the stakes are high and whoever shall be victorious will top the Pac-12 south for the time being. Given the chance for another win, it should make the Sun Devils bowl eligible for the fourth year in a row.
