Diablos del Sol | Arizona State Sun Devils

Fuck Texas Tech, show em' you tough.

[redsox907]

Perfect way to kick off the season, and Big Mac cooked! I honestly don't think that Red Raiders team will give you much trouble; a 72-OVR-rated starting quarterback doesn't exactly give me chills!

Austin Mack was like a quarter pounder with cheese, but Big Mac is the real deal

Texas Tech fallen on hard times indeed, which sucks because I was hoping to get a better slate of conference games this season

TTU ain't getting that NIL money anymore

that oil well dried up real quick

time to feast on the backup QB

Solid win over USC to open the year. I see the Sun Devils going to 2-0 after a beat down of Texas Tech

JKS getting hurt made it light work, which sucks cause I was hoping for a tough showdown to kickoff the season

Fuck Texas Tech, show em' you tough.

Coming for that NIL money.

I'd suggest not using colored text on top of black (or not as much). It's hard on los ojos.

I was in the process of changing the colors for the same reason lol

I kept the scoring and stats as their colors and moved everything else to white. We'll see if that is less offensive to the eyes lol. And (hopefully) fixed the sizing on the pictures for senor Ha-Mez

No Sympathy From the Sun Devils

48 #5 Arizona State (2-0) @ Texas Tech (1-3) 14

It took exactly four seconds for the game to get away from the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Wide receiver Damarious John fielded the opening kickoff and looked to make a move to start the Red Raiders with a spark, that is, until he ran into Austin Carlisle. The halfback leveled John, forcing the fumble that Zeth Thues rushed into the end zone, and just like that the Sun Devils were up.

It was 14-0 by the end of the first quarter and 28-7 to end the first half, with Texas Tech taking advantage of a failed 4th-down attempt by the Sun Devils to get their first touchdown on the board.

The second half would bring more of the same for the Red Raiders as George MacIntyre continued his torrid start to the 2028 campaign, throwing for 361 yards and five touchdowns in the rout.

"This is what championship teams do against a conference opponent that's on the ropes. You finish them off," confidently stated MacIntyre after the game.

MacIntyre once again spread the ball around with Connor Salmin hauling in six catches for 100 yards, RJ Mosley collecting six for 95 yards, and Kaiden Prothro snagging four passes for 81 yards.

Defensively, the Sun Devils weren't able to intercept backup quarterback Stephen Cannon, who completed 17 of 24 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns, but four sacks and a nonexistent run game kept Cannon from ever finding a rhythm.

Arizona State will open Mountain America Stadium next week as they welcome another former Pac-12 foe in the 23rd-ranked Washington Huskies.

2028 Week Four Preview

---

#23 Washington (3-0) @ #5 Arizona State (2-0)

---

By: Emilio Suarez Published: September 24th, 2028

---

The Arizona State faithful had to wait until Week Four to open Mountain America Stadium for the 2028 season, but it should be well worth the wait as the 23rd-ranked Washington Huskies mush into Tempe to face the 5th-ranked Sun Devils.

The Huskies have jumped on the dogsleds behind the dynamic rushing trio of QB Treston McMillan, Jordan Washington, and Quaid Carr, currently the No. 1 ranked rushing attack in the country. The fans in Tempe should be in for a treat with the Huskies dynamic rushing attack against the early brilliance of George MacIntyre, who has firmly inserted himself into the Heisman conversation with nine touchdowns in his first two games.


Pitchfork Points

Don't get snowed under.

The Washington Huskies feature a three-headed monster that can go over, around, and through you on the ground, churning out 259 rushing yards per game early in the season. ASU did a great job limiting the Red Raiders' rushing attack last week, but one has to wonder if that was a direct result of them daring Stephen Cannon to beat them. If they make the same dare against Treston McMillan, they may not be so lucky.

Running game needs to find the spark, again.

Yes, I know Austin Carlisle ran for 100 yards last week. But he isn't the feature back, Cardae Mack is. And, Mack has yet to eclipse 100 yards in the season, let alone in a game. The clock is ticking for Mack to prove he can be the everydown back and not a change of pace. Both Carlisle and Robinson have made the most of their chances. If that continues, Mack may be playing second fiddle again soon.

How will the defense look now that we're healthy?

Julian Manson missed Week One and DJ Sanders missed Week Three with minor injuries. Both are back, and healthy, giving ASU fans their first glimpse at the fully assembled defense. Manson's speed and Sanders' gap protection will be huge against the Huskies ground game.

[Agent]

Huskies are better overall on offense & defense. Let's see how this one goes.

[Baze]

idk what the player progression is like but I can say in year 1 that Chris Lawson and Mason James ain't no threat.

Jordan Washington could be though, and Kini McMillan is definitely a true dual-threat QB - he'll be the key guy to stop.

[Captain Canada]

Washington ain't really moving me. Should be another easy slap the way things are going for you.
