The Sun Devils' came out of last Friday with a win against the Hornets', but in a sense, the team did get lucky in some aspects. The ASU defense played a really well, with better passing coverage than what we've seen in the past from Kobe Williams and USC transfer Jack Jones. The defensive line played well, but suffered a bit on many run plays, but had some great stops and some sacks along the way by DJ Davidson.
The offensive was another story. As strong as they seemed, Daniels had some trouble with a lot of pressure in the pocket and numerous offensive line players missing their assignments resulting in Daniels getting sacked. The offensive line suffered a lot on the rushing plays as well, failing to create lanes for running back Eno Benjamin. Plus a fumble in the end zone and numerous penalties made for a rough night on offense. As far as touchdowns go there was one apiece for each team, but back up placekicker Cristian Zendejas stole the show with his field goals that night.
Going into this weekend both ASU and Michigan State are both 2-0. The Spartans have beaten Tulsa and Western Michigan both at home in East Lansing and have some solid wins under their belt. ASU in the past has been known to struggle on the road so we shall see how Edwards' squad fairs away this time in Michigan. Hopefully, the team has worked out their kinks from last game and have a solid game plan this weekend. This preseason game is a big mark for the Sun Devils and will definitely serve as a place-marker of how the team will do this coming season. If ASU doesn't come out with a win, the best-case scenario is that they have had the experience this year playing a powerhouse football team. Especially for the freshman on the squad, this serves as a great marker for what's to come in regular-season play.
