BLACKED OUT!

To the 3-time Conference Champion and #2 Team in the Nation, welcome to Tempe.

To a freshman quarterback yet to play a true road game, welcome to #90’s backyard. You’ve thrown 5 interceptions in 6 games and our secondary knows it.

To the explosive running backs in green or fluorescent yellow or gray or white or silver or clear, you think you’ll steal the show tonight on national TV? While you’re thinking, look across the field at Sun Devil power & speed in the form of #1, #6 and #8. Marion Grice, Cameron Marshall and DJ Foster might have something to say about that.

To the much improved defensive line representing Quacky the Duck, welcome to #10, the most efficient & productive QB in the PAC-12 who in six games has generated 1,600 yards through the air, 210 on the run, 14 Touchdowns and 2 Interceptions.

And to your secondary, #10 has thrown 99 consecutive passes over three games without an interception. So mind the passing while you’re minding the run.

Finally: To Chip Kelley, the coaching staff and players from the northwest….

Welcome to SUN DEVIL STADIUM.

ALL IN.
