ASU 35, Oregon St 20

This was the definition of a trap game for ASU, they were coming off a string of tough games (Missouri, Illinois, USC), they were up against an Oregon St team that has struggled so far this year.  They were prime for a let down and did not disappoint in that respect, they came out very flat, there was no intensity anywhere to be seen to start this game.  Fortunately, they were able to turn it on and finished strong enough to come out of the game with a victory.   ASU moves to 4-1 on the year.

Observations:
-Who is this A.J. Pickens fella? 
-Turnovers will kill you, ASU was lucky to come out with a victory after turning the ball over 4 times.
-It was nice to see Gerrell Robinson catching the ball with his hands and not his body, he has looked much better the last couple of weeks.
-The secondary had a nice game, they are very athletic and quick to the ball.
-Jamal Miles is a nice all purpose back (249 total yards).
-Cameron Marshall had another nice game (80 yards on 14 carries). 
-It was nice to see Adam Archuleta & Marvel Smith get inducted into the ASU Sports Hall of Fame.
-Up next week in Salt Lake City to take on Utah.
