Arizona State 38, Colorado 24

The Sun Devils moved to 3-0 with 38-24 win over Colorado tonight in Boulder.  It was a strange game that was full of all sorts of momentum swings.  ASU came out strong, let the Buffaloes back into the game, pulled away once again, then held on for the victory.  It was in no way a thing of beauty, the young defense gave up way too many yards and they had a couple of potentially devastating injuries.  Still, a conference road win, is a conference road win, you take them however they come.

Observations:

• Arizona State has still not trailed in a game this season.  
• It may be time to start the D.J. Foster for Heisman talk. 
• Under Todd Graham, ASU is now 19-5 when scoring first. 
• Arizona State is now 7-3 in Pac12 road games under Todd Graham. 
• Taylor Kelly has thrown a TD in 26 of his 30 games as a starter. 
• Hopefully, injuries don't take a negative toll on the Sun Devils.   
• The offense did seem to stall with Mike Bercovici at the helm.
• Total Yards:  Arizona State 428, Colorado 545
• Turnovers:  Arizona State 0, Colorado 3
• The Sun Devils long snapping needs some work.  
• Jaelen Stron sure does have a knack for drawing pass interference penalties. 
• I love the big strike capabilities of the Sun Devils offense. 
• Was that a TE sighting by the Sun Devils?  
• Kalen Ballage is a load to bring down. 
• Matt Haack averaged 48.1 yards on 7 punts.  Not bad. 
• Jordan Simone had his best game at DB.  Nice story. 
• Arizona State was just 4 of 13 on 3rd downs.  
• Was Colorado stealing the Sun Devils defensive play calls?  
• Mike MacIntyre does appear to have Colorado headed in the right direction.
• Up next?  UCLA @ Sun Devil Stadium next Saturday night.
