The loss to UCLA two weeks ago was devastating at the time but as undefeated teams lose and drop out of the AP Top 10, the Arizona State Sun Devils could be positioned well if they can run the table the rest of the season.
If the Sun Devils are going to run the table they will need all hands on deck. Senior quarterback Taylor Kelly may be ready to play again on Saturday. If he can his leadership will provide a big boost to an already confident Sun Devils squad.

From Tucson.com: Is Taylor Kelly Ready To Play?
"“We expect him to play,” Graham said. “What that role will be — if I left it up to Taylor, he’s all ready to go — but we’re also going to be careful. I think he will play. I think Mike (Bercovici) will play, too, so we’ll see kind of how that works. … But it’s his senior year and as soon as he can get back, obviously, it’s his team.”"

"Arizona State, meanwhile, got a slight bump in the major polls, even with a bye week. The 4-1 Sun Devils moved up to 17th in the AP Top 25 (previously ranked 20th), and they climbed to 18th in the Coaches’ Poll — two spots higher than the week before. The Wildcats have a bye next weekend before hitting the road to face Washington State (2-5, 1-3) on Saturday, Oct. 25."

"“You’re looking at a group that’s never played,” Shipp said after Sunday’s practice. “Well, whoop-de-do, that’s part of the game. That’s going to happen — I don’t care where you go. (Texas) A&M (two years ago) starts off with a quarterback of Johnny Manziel. All y’all wrote, ‘What the hell’s going to happen?’ The first game, y’all loved him."
