Arizona State 45, Weber St 14

Arizona State started their season last night with a 45-14 win over Weber State at Sun Devil Stadium.  It was Weber State though, so temper your enthusiasm, they are not a good football program.  Still, you need to dominate teams you are suppose to dominate.  Plenty to clean up as they move forward.  1-0 is a good start!

Observations:

• That's 12 straight opening season victories for Arizona State.
• Taylor Kelly showed why he is on the Heisman watch list. 
• It was nice to see Mike Bercovici get some reps at QB. 
• The offense still has a few kinks to work out. 
• Half-time score:  Arizona State 31, Weber State 0.  Ball game right there.  
• Arizona State has nine new starters on defense, they held up well. 
• 10 catches for 146 yards for Jaelen Strong. 
• No forced turnovers for Arizona State, that's a rarity. 
• Kalen Ballage is going to create some havoc when all is said and done. 
• Total Yards:  Arizona State 570, Weber State 308
• It was nice to see Gary Chambers make a contribution. 
• Salamo Fiso looked good on the revamped defense. 
• Arizona State will need a TE to step up. 
• D.J. Foster had 147 yards rushing on 15 carries, that's 9.8 yards per carry average.
• Ellis Johnson is a huge target, possible breakout season?  
• A Chans Cox sighting!  That was good to see. 
• Sun Devil Stadium renovations debuted last night.  
• The ASU fanbase lived up to their reputation!  Large student crowd!
• Why haven't Directv & the PAC12 Network come to a deal yet? 
• Up next?  @ New Mexico next Saturday.
