ASU moves past UCLA defeat

Nov 7, 2011, 9:23 PM | Updated: 10:27 pm

Disappointing. Gut-wrenching.

That’s how ASU head coach Dennis Erickson described
Saturday night’s 29-28 loss to UCLA.

“We did not make plays when we had to,” he said Monday.

Added quarterback Brock Osweiler, “I don’t know if you
ever fully recover from a game like that. It’s something
that definitely just takes time but it’s Monday. It’s time
to move on. I have moved on.”

ASU this week is at Washington State.

“I think the biggest key,” explained Osweiler, “is to get
guys to focus on Washington State and move past [UCLA].
It hurts extremely bad but there’s no time to sulk. You
have to move on.”

Erickson believes his team will bounce back, just as it
did after losing to Illinois. The Sun Devils won three
straight games after that tough three-point loss on the
road.
