California 48, Arizona State 46

The Sun Devils closed their regular season tonight with a 48-46 loss to California in Berkeley.  Arizona State finishes their season with a 6-6 record.  It was another heartbreaker, they had a double digit lead at the half, they then fell apart late once again and eventually lost on a field goal as time ran out.  Really disappointing season for ASU considering the expectations.

Observations:

• Arizona State may want to reconsider it's defensive philosophy.  
• Mike Bercovici & Devin Lucien have developed some nice chemistry. 
• Arizona State gave up way too many big plays. 
• Jared Goff did a great job of picking up the Arizona State blitzes.  
• Tim White has quietly had a very nice season for Arizona State. 
• Those 6 field goals by ASU tonight is sign of a poor red zone offense. 
• Who exactly is Lord Carrington anyways?  
• Total Yards:  California 680, Arizona State 586
• Time of Possession:  Arizona State 37:38, California 22:22
• Second Half Score:  California 38, Arizona 19
• Demario Richard continues to roll, he's now over 1000 yards rushing on the season. 
• I see why NFL scouts are so high on Jared Goff.  
• California's half time adjustments proved to be much more effective than ASU's.  
• Seventy three yard punts are always welcome. 
• Having a kicker who can kickoff out of the end zone is a nice weapon. 
• Up next?  Bowl game, time and place to be determined.
