Hosts Kerry Crowley and Chris Karpman dive into the significance of ASU’s 4-0 start. They discuss what has enabled early season success for the Sun Devils and talk about some of the themes that have emerged for ASU so far this year.
Against Cal, the Sun Devils once again got off to a slow start, and Kerry and Chris analyze why ASU has struggled in the first half and succeeded in the latter half of games. Kerry and Chris talk about the importance of ASU’s in-game adjustments, which includes the ability of offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey to stick to his game plan and the decisions defensive coordinator Keith Patterson has made that have led to increased effectiveness in the second half.
Special teams have been a hallmark of ASU’s success this season, and Kerry and Chris break down the importance of winning the field position battle against an Air Raid opponent like Cal and how the reliability of Zane Gonzalez has evolved through his career.
The episode concludes with a roundup of Pac-12 scores from the weekend, which includes a discussion of the wide open race for the South Division and an analysis of the importance of next Saturday’s game for USC head coach Clay Helton.
