BIG Win in the Desert

Anytime you can break a 40 year streak in anything, its big. Seems like ASU has been our kryptonite forever, but that was a convincing win.

That's a formula we could use for many teams that are at or near our skill level. Jump on them early, convert in the red zone, force turnovers, win special teams, and stretch the field long from time. I wish there was more consistency from the running game, but I love the long runs.

Against Stanford we have to jump out fast and score touchdowns early. No field goals. If we score TDs those first two drives against Arizona, I think we win. The D against Stanford is gonna be big. Can we force some turnovers? I don't know, but if we aren't getting sacks then we need some turnovers.

Go Beavs!

Converting in the red zone.

Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but how much of that do you ascribe to the line, the receivers, and the backs...including the quarterback?

I think a big factor this year has been penalties. I've seen a ton of drives stall due to really bad penalties (false start, lining up offsides). Hopefully that is easy to improve.

Pretty good game, huh?

And fine work by the o-line.

Got a little squishy in the 4th...but still, one heckuva game.
