Around SBN: The Great Debate II: The SEC Championship Game Bar-right-arrows



Pac-10 Opener - SUN DEVIL STADIUM VS. STANFORD!

Stanford Cardinal @ Arizona St. Sun Devils


Here we go Devils!

Things to look for:

  • Continued Consistency In Passing Game - look for Rudy to come out firing early.  The coaches are going to want to get Rudy into one of his classic rhythms where he is one of the most accurate passers in the conference, if not the country. Carpenter looks much bigger, stronger, and faster this season and now is the time to put all that off season work to use.
  • THE RUN GAME! - I do not want to see Rudy Carpenter as our leading rusher again. I want to see the blockers creating some holes, and I want to see our runners pounding out some consistent 4-6 yard gains on the ground.
  • No Sacks - Lets try and protect Rudy all game. If the line can build up their confidence against Stanford it will really bode well for their spirits heading into the Georgia game in a few weeks.
  • Defense - I want to see us pressuring the quarterback all game, and I want us to cause a few turnovers. No big plays.
  • Special Teams continued dominance
  • A VICTORY!

kicking that ball out of bounds was a killer play........

and teams as good as ASU usually capitalize on them…….and that they did…..and turned the game in a heartbeat………..ugh…..just frustrating

Nice catch

Even if this ends up getting overturned, that’s a fantastic catch by Williams…and it stands!

games just getting out of hand now............

Stanford doesnt have the firepower to come back from this type lead……..its a shame really…….

not really digging the QB swapping going on.............

how does Harbaugh expect anyone to get into any type of rhythm?

Touchdown Devils!

Way to answer, solid drive with nice balance…33-17 ASU.

well this game tells me what I had already suspected after last week........

improved QB play is a must……and Pritchard…..doesnt look like he’s that guy

Toby Gerhart. What a horse!

Thank god thats over.............it started out promising.............

but the Heat…….and Rudy and Co……were just too much…….cant wait to see ASU against UGA……….its not all doom and gloom for the Cardinal though……atleast they showed they arent gonna quit…….just need another year or two of good recruiting and they can be up there with ASU…….

Nice job

Way to go on beating the pulp out of the trees (get it … pulp? trees? I crack myself up). Good luck on the rest of the year except in October.

Go Bears!
