GAMEDAY THREAD: Houston @ Arizona State | W 24-16

Just spoke with my friend the #1 ASU booster. We’ll be catching up with him at his bar, The Trophy Bar, in Chandler, AZ.

He said, “you’ll find out about our fans, better wear ASU colors and you’ll be ok.” I told him we are wearing read and if someone gives us grief we’ll tell em to call our friend, Nap Lawrence".

He said, Leavit was offered an 8 figure number by “a certain big booster at Oregon”.

Missed tackles been haunting us since the Tech game.

Sorry but I would have had to take that 8 figure number… business is business.

We’re actually ranked in the middle of the pack according to PFF in missed tackles. In fact, we only missed 8 tackles against AZ which was our lowest number since the Rice game.

Not all missed tackles are created equally… specifically our DBs need to tackle better.

That feels about right, given that we could still hypothetically win out and come in 4th place.

Seems to me the State of Arizona championship is also on the line

BYU still has Texas Tech and Cincinnati. That should work out most of the tie-ups

Oh, I got it, when you said Tech DBs I was thinking Dirt Bags. But, I realize you meant defensive backs. :wink:

Too many missed tackles. Our DB’s play too far back. I’m not saying we need to run press man coverage, but when we are running a cover 9 blitz we need to be more aggressive by shading underneath to stop quick slants.

$10,000,000.00 for a college QB is hard for me to believe, maybe it’s been exaggerated. One million is still mind boggling.

Is Leavit THAT good?

Hes a legit NFL prospect

Great mobility, good arm strength

Didn’t the TT coach say something like with what they invested, not winning the B12 would be devastating or something along those lines. They still have to play BYU, KSU, and UCF. Wouldn’t it be super cool if we got to the B12 CCG and they didn’t. Those hooligans would be choking on their tortillas.

I think he’s the best QB in the Big 12

Kiper is stupid when it comes to QBs. He locks on to some that will never be better than a backup

I’d take Leavitt over several higher ranked prospects on the list.

Didn’t he claim Jimmy Clausen was going to be a HOF’er?
