Arizona State is in a big new conference this year and it has a golden opportunity to start off 3-0 before its first Big 12 game. The Sun Devils hammered Wyoming 48-7 in Week 1, then pulled away for the 30-23 home win over an SEC team (Mississippi State) last week. With several much tougher games on the horizon, this one takes on added importance. Texas State is also 2-0, most recently beating UTSA by a score of 49-10. Before that, the Bobcats beat Lamar. A Big 12 opponent, even one brand new to the conference, is a big step up. Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo was the AP national player of the week after he rushed for 33 times for 262 yards in the win over Mississippi State. He will have another big game. The Bobcats are only 1-3 against the number the past 4 times that they were home underdogs. Sun Devils move to 3-0!
