Sheesh Treston did everything he could to pull off the comeback. Nice job getting the W

[redsox907]

Washington almost rallied back on you at the end there

once they hit a big play they were off to the races

Carlisle is a beast

Damn, is giving up 400+ yards and 4 TD through the air a red flag?

the two long touchdowns in the fourth were stupid. Man coverage with safety over the top, yet no one within 10 yards of either the TE or the WR who just ran untouched to the end zone. Not sure why both defenders bailed on coverage, but it may be because McMillan broke containment and looked like he was scrambling. He did a good job of running up then throwing at the last second which threw me off

Naone killed ya

UW made your secondary look a bit sus

his 79 yard touchdown no one was within 10 yards of him when he caught it

Took ya foot off the gas and almost got punished fo rit.

rubberband ai

Thank God you got Cheese Carlisle here, or else you guys would have been in some trouble here.

we got more cheese than just Carlisle

Sheesh Treston did everything he could to pull off the comeback. Nice job getting the W

if they recovered that onside no doubt we woudl be going to OT

2028 Week Five Preview

---

#10 BYU (4-0) @ #4 Arizona State (3-0)

---

They say there's no rest for the wicked and few teams know that like the Arizona State Sun Devils, who prepare to play their third ranked contest already in the 2028 season as the 10th-ranked BYU Cougars stalk into Mountain America Stadium.

Led by senior QB Bear Bachmeier, the Cougars have one of the most potent offenses in the country and will be looking to continue their hot streak as Bear tries to guide the Cougars into the playoffs in his final year at Brigham Young.


Pitchfork Points

Was last week a fluke?

Treston McMillan absolutely TORCHED our secondary in the final quarter and change, turning a 31-14 blowout into a 42-35 nail-biter. Was that just some McMillan magic? Or does the Sun Devils defense have some serious trouble brewing? Bear is no slouch and would be a tough matchup for any defense, but if the Sun Devils are still reeling from the end of last week's contest, they may be in for a world of hurt.

Can Carlisle stay healthy with high usage?

One of the reasons Charlie Weis Jr. opted to have Cardae Mack as the bellcow back was to limit the usage of Austin Carlisle and keep the dynamic athlete healthy for the post-season. With Mack struggling, that plan was abandoned early against Washington. It appears for better or worse, Carlisle is going to receive the bulk of the carries going forward. The only question is, how healthy is he going to be down the stretch?

Someone not named Marco Jones needs to generate some pressure.

The Sun Devils have 13 sacks on the season and five of them have come from Marco Jones, who is the only Sun Devil with more than two. He's great, but at some point pressure has to come consistently from somewhere else. The Huskies started to double Marco after he tallied two sacks in the first half, and that may be part of what enabled McMillan to decimate the secondary. If other teams catch on, we'll be running for our lives on the back end.

BYU's Late Push Not Enough To Top Big Mac's Six Touchdown Performance

---

35 #10 BYU (4-1) @ #4 Arizona State (4-0) 49 | Mountain America Stadium | Tempe, AZ.

---

By Emilio Suarez September 30th, 2028

In an eerily similar repeat of last week's contest with the Washington Huskies, the Sun Devils controlled this game for three and a half quarters. Then, all hell broke loose.

It all started with Quentin Joyner, who stiff armed a pair of Sun Devil defenders before scampering 44 yards on third down, sparking what would become the first of 21 fourth-quarter points for the BYU Cougars. Joyner would finish that drive with a four-yard plunge, once again laying a vicious stiff arm, then slice through the Sun Devils for an 84-yard run on his next play from scrimmage.

Bear Bachmeier finished the scoring himself, capitalizing on a read option that the defense bit on, churning out 32 yards for the third Cougar touchdown in less than two minutes.

The only problem for BYU was outside of an interception near the end of the third quarter, they simply couldn't stop the Big Mac. MacIntyre finished the game with six touchdowns and 432 yards of offense. Twice he found the speedy Connor Salmin for touchdowns in the fourth, matching the explosive Cougars blow for blow till the bitter end, ensuring the Cougars never got closer than a pair of touchdowns.

"We're going to have to take a long, hard look at how we're handling late game situations," stated a clearly displeased Charlie Weis Jr. after watching his defense give up 21 fourth-quarter points for the second straight game.

One thing is for sure, at some point the Sun Devils will have to figure out how to finish games in the fourth quarter, because at this rate their luck will definitely run out. For now they sit at 4-0 as they prepare to hit the road for Manhattan and a showdown with the 22nd-ranked Kansas State Wildcats.
