The Sun Devils used their high-powered offense to win their first game and you could sense the atmosphere through the media outlets that live-tweeted the action.

Cue the honey nut cheerios bee jokes... it really doesn't look that bad anymore though, at least the little goatee is gone.
ASU finished warming up. Band now on the field playing the fight song. 15 minutes from kickoff. pic.twitter.com/bMzWjmTdbK

There will probably be at least a few more fans in the stands against Wisconsin...just maybe
Sacramento moving the ball with no issues so far, ball on ASU's 40 right now

It only took ASU one drive to shake the rust off but it was a lot longer than expected.
Kelly hits De'Marieya Nelson on a 22 yard pass for the touchdown! 7-0 Sun Devils lead. 3:51 remaining in the 1st quarter
— House of Sparky (@HouseOfSparky) September 6, 2013
The first score of the year after the blocked field goal by Robert Nelson. It will be interesting to see how De'Marieya Nelson and Chris Coyle split time going forward.
Sutton down, trainers on the field. #ASU
— State Press Sports (@statepresssport) September 6, 2013
The air went out of the stadium when this happened. No one was sure who was down and when everyone saw the dreadlocks, panicked ensued. Luckily Sutton got up under his own power and walked off the field.
Kevin Ozier says "what offseason question mark?" 6 plays 71 yard drive in 1:36, 41 yard TD pass from Kelly. 14-0 ASU lead
— House of Sparky (@HouseOfSparky) September 6, 2013
ASU took that 14-0 lead into the 2nd quarter
6 yard run by Marion Grice to open up the 2nd quarter scoring! P.I. called on 2 pt. conversion, then PAT good. 21-0 ASU lead
— House of Sparky (@HouseOfSparky) September 6, 2013
CTG got a little greedy but the flood gates really start to open after this score.
Jaelen Strong with the first touchdown catch of his ASU career, a 24 yard pass from Kelly. 28-0 ASU lead over Sacramento State.

The hyped up junior college transfer got in on the action as well.
Chris Young hit by Irabor as they were defending a pass, Young helped off the field, he's limping
— ASUDevils.com (@ASUDevilscom) September 6, 2013
This was not good news at that moment but Young reportedly only suffered some minor bruising on his leg.
The #ChrisCoyleExperience is back…this team is ridiculously deep at WR/TE/3Back this year, and it's showing early
— Jason Galvin (@Jason_Galvin) September 6, 2013
Chris Coyle catches a 33-yard pass for a touchdown to give ASU the 35-0 lead.
The first ever ejection for "targeting" in the history on SDS belongs to Sac State's Nick Crouch... there should be a plaque or something
— House of Sparky (@HouseOfSparky) September 6, 2013
It took place around the north end zone, we'll check and see if the plaque got placed this week.
ASU walks back through the Tillman tunnel with #PT42 points at halftime
— House of Sparky (@HouseOfSparky) September 6, 2013
ASU led 42-0 at halftime.
About 75-80 percent of the student section left at halftime...
— House of Sparky (@HouseOfSparky) September 6, 2013
It was to be expected. The place will be rocking next weekend for the blackout.
40 yg FG by Zane Gonzalez is good. ASU leads 45-0 with 10:59 left in the third quarter. #SACvsASU
— Devils Digest (@DevilsDigest) September 6, 2013
He also missed from 33 and 49 yards respectively so the kicking woes seem to continue for the time being.
And EU-cantakeittothe-BANK as ASU up 52-0 after score by Michael Eubank.
— Sun Devil Football (@FootballASU) September 6, 2013
This came after an impressive interception return down to the three yard line by Grandville Taylor. Eubank should be used a lot around the goal line this year and proved his worth here.
4 plays, 9 yards, 2:13 on the drive. Gonzalez redeems himself with a 29 yard FG. ASU leads Sac St. 55-0, 12:37 left to play in the game.

This rounded out the scoring for the night...and then the fat lady sang.
Game is over. #ASU defeats Sacramento State 55-0.

The Dutson Theatre in the Carson Center is where all of the post game pressers take place.
Graham: "It's one game, we need to stay focused and stay humble, I'm very excited about a big-10 champion coming in"

Wisconsin is not to be taken lightly and they won't be according to CTG.
