The ASU UCLA game this past weekend wasn't a huge game in the NCAA or Pac-12 football for that matter, but we need to talk about what happened. The Sun Devils have never been a good away team, but being ranked for the past few weeks gave fans more hope going into the game and especially UCLA's record, it should have been a good win for ASU.

This is all my opinion, but what happened on that field was a complete embarrassment of the school and the football program. The Devils trailed 28-7 going into the half, and trailed by as much as 42-10 before bringing the final score to 42-32 in the latter part of the 4th quarter. How can you have a defense that has gotten so much praise this season, ranked 44th in the nation, and then a 2-5 Bruins team puts up 42 points against you? It doesn't make even the slightest amount of sense, which all comes down to coaching.

At this part of the season, unless a miracle happens, the Sun Devils are done. They may win another game to become bowl eligible, but as far as getting into the Pac-12 championship goes, they haven't shown that they can play at the same caliber for the likes of Colorado or Utah, and I guess now UCLA based on their mistakes, and inconsistencies on both sides of the ball.

I thought that the Utah game would've been the wakeup call the Sun Devils needed, but after this loss, it shows they need way more improvement. Something needs to change, and there is too much talent on this football team, that the only option to look at is just the coaching. Herm Edwards is a great coach, don't get me wrong. The guys believe in him and he motivates everyone in the locker room, but when you're surrounded by offensive and defensive coaches that can't adapt and make changes to win, then there lies the problem.
