After suffering their first loss of the season ASU will need to bounce back. Thankfully ASU’s bye week comes the weekend in between their games against Utah and Oregon to help the team straighten things up and to make corrections for the things that did not work against Utah.
This game against the defending PAC-12 Champion and College Football Playoff Championship Runner-Up Oregon Ducks will be the biggest game held at Sun Devil Stadium on the schedule thus far (until the Arizona game in the home finale in late-November).
Oregon has won 12 of the past 15 games (eight consecutive) against ASU and holds a 17-to-16 advantage in the all-time series between these two schools, so just to make things even ASU has to win this one, right? Right.
The Sun Devils will be looking to rebound after the loss to Utah and will come out extremely strong against the Ducks and win a huge game in front of their raucous crowd. The win will help solidify ASU’s legitimacy as well and will allow them to move back into the top-10 in the country.
Final Score: ASU 48, Oregon 42 (OT)
2015 ASU Record: 7-1 (4-1)
