# 18 - Sun Devils Arizona St. 7-5 SU, 6-6 ATS
Jump Starter
Fargo Take The Sun Devils have three games in the bowl Dirk Koetter five years has been head coachbut none of them were very glamorous and that must change. The offense has been spectacular over the years, but it's the defense that Arizona St. has been held. After 48 in total defense in 2004, the Sun Devils fell to the 114th and has missed three games last year, which brought the offense to at least 31 points. With this explosive action and missed four games with at least 10 points is inexcusable. Immediate help is necessary and seems to be able to help, but on the road.Quarterback controversy came at the beginning of the stock fall, but these have now disappeared, so have the Sun Devils a goal and to be competitive in the Pac Ten if the defense can be anywhere close to the number of 2004 This goal is achievable improve a lot.
Returning starters on offense - 8 The quarterback situation has passed the spring and autumn in the troubled, but that is no longer the case. Sophomore Rudy Carpenter was named the starter and askedSenior Sam Keller to leave school and transfer to Nebraska. Carpenter was surprisingly filling for the injured Keller, as he has completed more than 68 percent of his passes while throwing 17 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Now the task is to find a replacement for All-Pac Ten receiver Derek Hagan. Junior Rudy Burgess seems to be the challenge after grabbing 59 balls last year. Tight End Zach Miller is one of the best in the country to its position and is a pre-seasonAll-American. The offensive line is virtually intact, while Keegan Herring ran for 870 yards as a freshman storage. In general, all systems.
Returning starters on defense - 5 After deducting only 24 points per game, although his first four games the defense imploded. And 'allowed 35 points in the second half of USC and it was all downhill. Easily the worst defense in the Conference is, Arizona St. this season for fifth best in the Pac Ten level This is due to adefensive line, which ranks just behind USC and for good reason. Three transfers, Loren Howard (Northwestern), Snare Morant (Florida) and Michael Marquardt (BYU), the man and the noise of the line defense, ranks 89th among the best in the country could be. Linebacker is still a problem with the departure of Dale Robinson and Jamar Williams, but the secondary should improve immensely. Two starters are back need to be replaced in security and as the corners can be bettercompared to last year, after passing through 112 ° of the defense.
Party against Northern Arizona in the opening show us how the defense should come, even if it is against a 1-AA opponent. The real test comes next week at home against Nevada, which is also one of the best offenses in the nation. The calendar really stiff after a trip to Colorado, followed by three games against the other three contenders in the conference - California, Oregon and USC. Doeven worse is that the games against the Bears and Trojans are far from Sun Devil Stadium. Subsequently, a stretch of four games, the rest of the list as a game for children, with four wins on the bridge the last two games against UCLA and Arizona are feeling better.
You can ... If nothing else, Arizona St. game will be fun. The offense is going to score lots of points and even if the defense is up to date, there are still problems. Koetter hopes he made the right choicewith Carpenter as his quarterback and if something goes wrong, there is no help behind the scenes. At least Keller is to start next season in Nebraska. Arizona St. is just 4-13 ATS as a road underdog since Koetter took over in 2001, and a lot of mistakes that the defense could not stop the person doing. If these changes this season, remains to be seen, but the Sun Devils will be in this role in their first three road games of the season. Arizona St. covered onlysix of its last 20 conference road games, too.
