Morning Meltdown – ASU Sun Devils Edition

For this Morning Meltdown let’s take a look into the buzz surrounding the Arizona State Sun Devils.

Before the Sun Devils hit the field on Thursday, there was an unwelcome addition to ASU’s football field.

"“ASU took a beating on Thursday night before the game even kicked off.In the pregame warmups ahead of the Sun Devils’ eventual 62-27 loss to UCLA, an unidentified Bruins player etched the letters “UCLA” into the midfield pitch fork logo.Messing with an opponent’s logo is frowned upon and for good reason. It’s terrible sportsmanship, and had ASU won, I’m sure the logo incident would have been brought up more.ASU noticed the change and quickly sent a groundskeeping crew out to paint over the letters.”"

Following the above incident, the ASU Sun Devils took to the field to play UCLA.

"“The downside for the Bruins was the defense.ASU ran 105 plays and gained 626 yards against the young Bruins’ defense.The problem for the Sun Devils was a few of their faults were exposed, too.Mike Bercovici was brilliant in replacing injured Taylor Kelly. He threw for 488 yards and three touchdowns in his first start while setting school records with 42 completions on 68 attempts. But it wasn’t all positive, he earned his name of “Turnovici” as he turned the ball over and threw two interceptions, losing a fumble that led to a UCLA touchdown.”"
