Game Preview

Let's check out our pick for the Arizona State Sun Devils vs Texas State Bobcats match-up.

Arizona State Almost Blew Last Game

What will they do Next?

Arizona State dominated the first game against Wyoming 48-7 but in the last game against Mississippi State they almost blew it. Arizona State scored 30 points and they ended up winning by seven points. At halftime they were up 27-3 but in the second half they struggled. In the 4th quarter they were outscored 13-0 and and they ended up winning by only seven points. In the last game it was all about the running game.

So, Sam Leavitt threw 10 out of 20 passes for 69 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. And hey, the running game was crazy with Cameron Skattebo leading the way, racking up 262 yards on 33 carries, although he couldn't score. In the first game, Leavitt was throwing a lot, so they gotta mix it up a bit for a more balanced offense, you know?

Does Texas State take advantage of A big Opportunity Here?

Texas State has quite the chance here. Not often do teams like Arizona State head to places like Texas State to play football. In the first game of the season against Lamar Texas State won 34-27 and in the last game against UTSA, Texas State won 49-10. In the last game against UTSA, Texas State was up 35-3 and they never looked back on the way to the win.

So, I cant lie, Jordan McCloud totally killed it, completing 18 out of 27 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. And then Lincoln Pare was on fire, running the ball like a boss with 11 carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns. And let's not forget Chris Dawn Jr, who had a massive game with five carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns. If Texas State wants to have a shot in this game, their defense really needs to step up, you know?

Game Prediction

The Pick: Texas State -2.5 -105

Texas State will dominate this matchup without a doubt. The performance of Arizona State's offense in the last game's second half was unimpressive, and Sam Leavitt's reliability is questionable and thats me being nice. The Sun Devils defense will face challenges against Texas State, as the Bobcats are poised to score effortlessly. Arizona State's offense will not be able to keep pace, while Texas State is set to emerge victorious. It's a clear choice to back Texas State with the spread in this game.
