What To Look For:
The Aztecs and Sun Devils are both very good against the run. Luckily, Arizona State can throw it all over the field. SDSU, on the other hand, normally relies heavily on the run. With a first-time starting quarterback, however, they could focus even more on their ground game. It will be interesting to see how Washington, a very talented back, fares against Herm Edward’s revamped defense.
