Arizona State vs Washington St (Woo! Football till 2 AM!)

[TrueOrange]

on VS


The (expected) ASU win gives them the sole lead in the PAC 12 South (as UCLA lost tonight)

 

[TrueOrange]

and as soon as I type that, WSU throws an...80 yard pass to score a TD



then, being ASU however, the snap on the PAT's high so they just have to cover it


7-6 ASU

I wish I had that channel, I like watchin asu play

 

[milohimself]

Earlier this season it looked like Paul Wulff might have finally had the corner turned with Wazzu, then they reeled off five bad losses in a row.

That said, Pullman isn't exactly the easiest place to play football in November, especially for dudes from Arizona and southern Cali. Should be freezing with sleet.

Meh, I'll pass. Sounds like I might be going to Nashville tomorrow for some reason with my roommate, so I need to catch up on sleep

 

[TrueOrange]

TD WSU 16-13...nice wide open pass

 

[TrueOrange]

20-16 ASU 3rd QTR

 

[TrueOrange]

WSU TD 23-20 WSU w/ 6:40 left in the 3rd

 

[TrueOrange]

and due to a celebration penalty on the score and an illegal kickoff formation, ASU will start on the opponents 40

 

[TrueOrange]

Td asu 27-23 asu

 

[TrueOrange]

granted he's a RS, but the QB just set a new WSU record for passing yards in a game by a freshman (415)

 

[TrueOrange]

TD WSU on 3rd and 16; 30-27 WSU if review holds, 9 min left in the game



also, it's raining

 

[TrueOrange]

Right through the hands of the WR, slipped right out on 3rd and goal

ASU will have to kick a FG

 

[TrueOrange]

and zona st misses the FG (now that the rain is coming down heavier)


30-27 WSU ball 5:45 left in the game

 

[TrueOrange]

WSU driving and grinding clock with about 3 min left on the ASU 30

 

[Calculon]

Nice pass and catch if that holds up.

 

[TrueOrange]

Circus catch, 1st and goal at the 2!


The band playing the Superman theme is kind of appropriate here

ASU 1 timeout left

 

[TrueOrange]

TD WSU! 37-27 with 1:50 left


the RB reaches out and juuust gets the ball over the goal line

 

[TrueOrange]

The WSU Frosh - in his first full start - has thrown for almost 500 yards and 4 TDs

 

[TrueOrange]

And Arizona State fumbles the Kickoff return (like, butter fingers style fumble), WSU recovers, with 1:45 left and that will be game

 

[Calculon]

The WSU Frosh - in his first full start - has thrown for almost 500 yards and 4 TDs

That is a hell of a stat line. WSU just took the drama out of this one.

 

[TrueOrange]

Final score: WSU 37, ASU 27

 

[TrueOrange]

That is a hell of a stat line. WSU just took the drama out of this one.

yeah

one of the WR - Marquess Wilson - had 223 yards and 3 TDs (also)

 

[TrueOrange]

So UCLA (5-5, 4-3) now retakes the Pac-12 South lead by tiebreaker over ASU (6-4, 4-3).

Also Utah (6-4, 3-4) is now alive again in the Pac-12 South race

 

[TrueOrange]

Here's how the division looks from here on out:


UCLA has the following remaining games: vs Colorado, @ USC. UCLA currently holds the tiebreaker over Arizona St....if UCLA wins out, they're the ones definitely in the the Pac 12 championship game



Arizona State has the following remaining games: vs Arizona, vs Cal. The Sun Devils have tiebreakers over the following teams: Utah......ASU needs to win out and have UCLA lose one more game (not that unlikely actually)



Utah has the following remaining games: @ Washington State, v Colorado. The Utes have a tiebreaker over the following teams: UCLA.....Utah needs to either 1) win out and have both UCLA AND ASU lose their respective remaining games OR 2) win out, ASU lose its last 2 games, and have UCLA lose 1 conference game




....I have no idea how three-way tiebreaker works for the Pac 12. However it is possible that - were Utah to win out and UCLA and ASU each to lose one more - there be a 3 way tie for the Pac 12 south championship spot
