LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

I really enjoyed being the thorn in Tech's side, but it seems that's not the case this year.

[u/theblindbandit51]

Shovel into my heart

[u/hawkspur1]

I've sat so many hundreds of hours in this stadium chair up here that it's totally worn out lol

[u/theblindbandit51]

Nice call Mouse

[u/Young-Viiperr]

No way Auburn wins at Georgia, it'll never happen today. Kirby mouse will pull out a ref if need be

[u/BriskManeuver]

ASU defense has the announcers calling TT offense fun to watch

[u/Fun_Wear2891]

Okay Joey here is your chance to be scoring tuddies up big in the 4th. Lfg

[u/hawkspur1]

Mack Leftwhich calling a great game and then he runs that absolutely inexcusable turd.

Running your QB coming off an injury up 26 fucking points on 2nd and long. Terrorism.

[u/BosqueBravo → u/hawkspur1]

Was that a designed run or did Hammond go off script? That one didn’t feel intentional.

[u/vassago77379 → u/BosqueBravo]

I feel like Hammond saw a gap and wanted to try it. Id rather have him feeling comfortable enough to do that then being scared

[u/keevballs → u/BosqueBravo]

Looked designed to me.

[u/Balloutonu]

Feels like we’re just trying stuff now

[u/vassago77379 → u/Balloutonu]

Definitely, im ok with it

[u/zorionek0]

Let’s get louuuuuuuuud

[u/OrderTime]

Hammond out here new boot goofin

[u/DrVenusAg]

Are we just forgetting how to play?

[u/BosqueBravo → u/DrVenusAg]

They are playing too conservatively to just kill clock. I guess I get it, but we need a blow out.

[u/OrderTime → u/DrVenusAg]

I wonder if they're trying different plays they want game day looks at since we are up so much

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

The talent gap between Jkoby and Joyner is astounding.

[u/hawkspur1]

What the fuck is a called QB draw up by a million points.

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

The silver lining is that even if we had a good offense, we’d still suck.

[u/R_Raider86]

Almost an amazing catch from Micah Hudson

[u/OrderTime → u/R_Raider86]

Almost being the key word lol

[u/zorionek0]

BIMMICH

[u/azcard480]

Was that a push off?

[u/Mc_Shank]

Hudson pls

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

Don't let your grandparents watch AI Houdini on Fox Nation...

[u/OrderTime]

Hammond just out here goofing it

[u/hawkspur1]

Micah Hudson.

[u/azcard480]

Mind you Boley had one play with blown coverage. Take that away and he ks 4/9 with 2 ints and only 50 yards passing.....that is not a great stat line

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/azcard480]

Man, really validating the people who said that he just throws 50/50 balls and prays that Harris or Miller can bail him out.

[u/vassago77379 → u/azcard480]

Worth a second shot

[u/azcard480 → u/vassago77379]

You sir are not nice

[u/needsumMoore777]

I can’t wait for this election to be over

[u/zorionek0 → u/needsumMoore777]

Literally thought “None of these are my senator or rep”

[u/BradyGalaxy]

Fire this oline and osama bin arroyo into the sun after this season

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/BradyGalaxy]

"osama bin arroyo" 🤣

[u/Thorteris]

Way better play call for 4 and 11. That last one was crazy

[u/nerdyykidd]

“if they go for it” my brother in christ we are down by 26 points

[u/hawkspur1]

Time to retire the starters after this drive pls 

[u/romanapplesauce]

Why not just launch it deep at that point?

[u/BosqueBravo]

I mean, I think it’s a LITTLE early to go for it longer than 10 yards out in your own territory.

[u/Fun_Wear2891 → u/BosqueBravo]

Five tds down and you might get three offensive possessions for the rest of the game. You have to there

[u/BradyGalaxy → u/BosqueBravo]

A little early? Lmfao

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/BosqueBravo]

dog we're down by 4 scores who cares

[u/BosqueBravo → u/Late_Criticism8745]

I dunno, just feels like giving up to me.

[u/OrderTime → u/Late_Criticism8745]

4 scores and 7 years ago

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

Imagine what Keene could do with a high school level O line

[u/keevballs]

I guess we reversed it and today we’re good in the first half.

[u/BosqueBravo → u/keevballs]

That looked pretty damn good to me on defense.

[u/ethan_bruhhh]

even with the egregious holding it’s still a sack. Westbrook sucks

[u/Cactus_Brody]

This feels like the most one sided beef of all time lol

[u/Hot_Anything_9030 → u/Cactus_Brody]

They act like they’re so above us as a program. Yeah you’re significantly better right now but they haven’t achieved anything of consequence other than getting shutout in the CFP

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/Cactus_Brody]

it's kinda pathetic tbh. like they're not even our 5th rival. Tucson Community College > Utah> BYU> USC > Larry Scott > Our own O-line > TT

[u/zorionek0 → u/Cactus_Brody]

Nah, I hate Tech.

[u/xASUdude → u/Cactus_Brody]

Yeah, like I hate Utah and BYU more than Texas Tech.

[u/Hot_Anything_9030 → u/xASUdude]

My hate for tech kinda rises from them hating us for weird reasons

[u/codonkong]

O line where?

[u/hcatehorie]

Well the good news for ASU is you are not going to be hearing much about Kenny Dillingham in the coaching cycle

[u/vassago77379]

Bring back Boley!

[u/SoffesSmile]

He was sacked, but at least he made an attempt to get out of the way. (How did the bar get this low??)

[u/Young-Viiperr]

Trey White hasn't really gotten home until this point, very nice

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

This season is pretty much over in terms of competing for the big 12 chip, but the offense playing with rhythm like this is so important for the momentum going forward even with a loss

[u/BosqueBravo]

That’s more like it

[u/DMTryp]

mercy rule should be called. just ff lol

[u/BriskManeuver]

Cutter Boley was having people bring up the hot seat conversation for kenny dillingham

[u/azcard480]

That would have been a Boley over throw and pick

[u/SirDevilDude]

Boley never playing again

[u/keevballs]

This is annoying.

[u/SirDevilDude]

Keene >>>> Boley

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

Keene might not be able to walk tomorrow.

[u/nootnootnudes]

Bro, our secondary has turned to tissue paper

[u/DrVenusAg]

Tech for the love of god 

[u/Cactus_Brody]

How did Kenny 'The QB Whisperer' Dillingham have Boley starting for so long?

[u/zorionek0 → u/Cactus_Brody]

I’ll give you $2.5 million reasons why

[u/BradyGalaxy → u/zorionek0]

Right but he shouldn’t have been given 2.5 mil in the first place

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/Cactus_Brody]

it seriously makes me question his ability to read talent

[u/YakFull8300]

What is happening lmao

[u/SoapSudsAss]

I don’t care for this new quarterback

[u/BradyGalaxy]

Holy shit fire Cutter Boley into the sun how the fuck has he been starting

[u/needsumMoore777]

Can we not play a complete game?

[u/Mc_Shank]

Need Boley asap

[u/SirDevilDude]

Mikey Keene is so good

[u/SoffesSmile]

And now a Eusebio connection? I'm loving this.

[u/DrVenusAg]

Bro come on

[u/zorionek0]

Once again, Thank You Reed Harris

[u/lodestar_99]

Entire OL holding

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

We’re down a thousand but I’m having so much fun

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

Eusebio 🥹

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

has he been injured or something?

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You → u/Late_Criticism8745]

I have no idea tbh. Just thought he disappeared

[u/vassago77379]

How tf are they not doubling Harris, he is literally the only dude hes throwing to

[u/vassago77379 → u/vassago77379]

Well fuck me then

[u/SoffesSmile]

Was that an ASU QB going through his reads??? I must be dead.

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

EUSEBIO APPEARANCE

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Are Mikey Keene and Reed Harris the best QB/WR duo in the nation?

[u/DrVenusAg]

Those legends. I miss the SWC 

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Boley got his helmet on for no reason

[u/zorionek0 → u/Hot_Anything_9030]

So nobody sees the tears

[u/AcidHaze]

Is it not the same as nfl where if the player is touching the endzone and touches the ball it's a touch back?

[u/BosqueBravo → u/AcidHaze]

I guess not? Which would explain why guys have so much trouble with it transitioning to the nfl.

[u/vassago77379 → u/AcidHaze]

Nope

[u/CassieJK]

Hell of a punt!

[u/530josh]

That has to be a touchback right? Feet/legs were in the end zone when he was touching the ball. Think we had one in London called back for the same thing

[u/vassago77379 → u/530josh]

College isnt the same as pros

[u/BradyGalaxy → u/530josh]

Thats what I thought too

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/530josh]

nah those are uk rules, it's different here in the states

[u/BosqueBravo → u/530josh]

That’s what I saw but I was also distracted by kids and a dog. So I’m willing to be wrong.

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You → u/530josh]

It must be different for college because that’s definitely the rule in the NFL.

[u/vassago77379 → u/530josh]

Nah man

[u/Cactus_Brody]

Another week, another punt where are returner inexplicably lets it bounce an extra 15 yards.

[u/keevballs]

Best punter in the nation.

[u/SirDevilDude]

Mikey Keene brought life to the defense

[u/zorionek0]

That punter has been saving his strength all game

[u/keevballs]

Why tf are we not giving the ball to Williams?

[u/hawkspur1]

Setting up the pick 6, gotta get more LB WRs

[u/azcard480 → u/hawkspur1]

Boley isnt playing anymore so maybe not

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

goddamn it lol. can't anything go our way

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/Late_Criticism8745]

Look at it this way:

More passing yards for Keene

[u/pizza-dogs → u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

or 99 yard Harris touchdown

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

stat padding chad Mikey Keene marches the ball 99 yards to make it a 3 score game

[u/JordanW20]

Joyner did not recover from his ACL

[u/dunkking413 → u/JordanW20]

Yeah, he’s had like 2 plays over 5 yards all year it seems. Definitely disappointing

[u/nerdyykidd]

Oh so that’s what a 4th down stop looks like

[u/BosqueBravo → u/nerdyykidd]

No it’s not. That was third down not fourth.

[u/nerdyykidd → u/BosqueBravo]

I’m shocked you guys didn’t go for it

[u/BosqueBravo]

That will be a touch back, his feet were sadly in the end zone

[u/BriskManeuver]

Keene comes in and makes the defense better

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Mikey Keene marches 99 yards to cut it to THREE posesssions

[u/IvankasFutureHusband → u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Chris Paul hits a huge three to cut the lead to 42

[u/OrderTime]

Safety plz

[u/BradyGalaxy]

Holy shit defense looks better too they must’ve fucking hated B*ley

[u/Mc_Shank]

NICE PUNT

[u/yeeyeedog]

Fucking perfect punt

[u/Young-Viiperr]

Safety time

[u/zorionek0]

Even the defense plays better when Boley is out. What a crazy morale boost

[u/DrVenusAg]

The fuck Joyner

[u/cravintheravin]

Joyner you suck so much

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

The QB change makes me feel like I’m watching the bears. Bagent is a slow processor and makes bad decisions. Keenum isn’t great but he rarely holds the ball for more than a couple seconds. Plays well in structure and gets the ball up field.

[u/hawkspur1]

Joyner fucking loves the number 0

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Can Mikey Keene play corner ???

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

And Dilly tried to gaslight us all that benching Boley wouldn't solve our offensive issues

[u/SirDevilDude]

Unfortunately our defense is still ass tho…

[u/azcard480 → u/SirDevilDude]

But if Keene plays way better than Boley all we need to do is stay ahead of the opposing offense like we used to

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

I’m all for paying the players but another downside of NIL is the hesitancy to bench guys that suck. Don’t really see this in the NFL since guys aren’t getting big paydays usually without proof of concept

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Reminds me when the Louisville Kings got a new QB, it was rocky until he took a massive hit and went right back into the game, we won the UFL in our inaugural year. Same kind of vibes lol Keene proving he's able to adjust is a great thing to see after Boley.

[u/Mc_Shank]

🥐

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

Keene Machine

[u/bitchmcconnell3559]

I, for one, am grateful for the intercession of Saint Michael (Keene)

[u/BriskManeuver]

Fortunately for TT we still have the same defense and no significant substitution like we have with keene

[u/OrderTime → u/BriskManeuver]

Big if true

[u/keevballs]

Amir Boyd disaster class

[u/BosqueBravo]

Just gotta put up 43 again

[u/Thorteris]

Put Boley back in wtf ASU

[u/naturesbabe]

Why exactly did we let Boley play this many games?

[u/BradyGalaxy → u/naturesbabe]

3 letters

N I L

[u/SirDevilDude]

Mikey Keene is my hero. He better start the rest of the way

[u/lodestar_99]

Should’ve been PI on the TD as well or no PI for both. Refs just see an incomplete pass and throw a flag, and the dude fell down first route too

[u/pizza-dogs]

honestly thank god Cutter threw a pick six right before half time cause there’s a chance Dilly might have reconsidered

[u/CassieJK]

I don’t think he was in

[u/nerdyykidd]

In this house, we love Reed Harris

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

I'm mad we even let Boley play til the half. What the fuck was Dilly thinking

[u/Hot_Anything_9030 → u/Late_Criticism8745]

Must be how Michigan fans feeling rn

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You → u/Late_Criticism8745]

Sunk cost fallacy

[u/TheChildrenNeedMe]

I prefer their other QB

[u/BradyGalaxy → u/TheChildrenNeedMe]

I, on the other hand, do not

[u/DrVenusAg]

Defense you better fucking not blow this

[u/yeeyeedog]

Not liking this energy shift

[u/azcard480]

Keene has now 1 touchdown away from matching Boley this game and they both could be for the same team (unlike boley)

[u/Advanced-Squash4654]

Undersized, weak armed QB coming in off the bench for the devils? Shades of TB16

[u/hawkspur1]

Kevin Marr's ref team gentlemen.

Been an absolute menace for fucking years.

[u/vassago77379]

Literally the only dude he's throwing to

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

It's amazing that Harris was just hiding in Boston.

[u/xASUdude]

Reed Harris is gonna be a first rounder

[u/GringoSalamanca]

ASU hits a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42

[u/Electronic-Drive6838]

Again how tf is that supposed to be catchable

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

REED HARRIS

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Man reed Harris is so good

[u/BosqueBravo]

lol that wasn’t catchable

[u/TexasTechFox]

Silky Jones is one baaaaddd mofo

[u/romanapplesauce]

I have not ridden a horse.

[u/BigusDickus099]

Finally moving on from Boley hopefully, even if we suck the rest of the year at least I won’t have to watch him try to play QB.

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

I think Dilly fell in love with the idea of Boley as another Bo Nix. He has the stats but an empty skull. Keene's too small to play in the NFL but he's clearly quicker and cleverer and a better fit for what ASU needs right now

[u/OrderTime]

Yeah that was catchable for sure

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

Imagine. Mikey Keene, the hometown kid, leads the sun devils to a 33 point comeback, launching his Heisman campaign through to a conference championship, making ASU the everlasting Dr. Pepper Big 12 Championship Game winners

[u/OrderTime]

So uh why was Boley starting over this other QB?

[u/zorionek0 → u/OrderTime]

They literally waited until the last day of camp to decide and I have to assume the 2.5 million they were paying Boley made a big decision

[u/BigusDickus099 → u/OrderTime]

Yeah…we don’t know either

[u/OkImprovement426 → u/OrderTime]

i genuinely think we couldve won against baylor if keene was put in during half

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

Why the fuck did it take so long to put Keene in???? Sure he clearly doesn't have the same arm but the energy difference is insane

[u/BradyGalaxy]

Night and fucking day QB play, holy shit

Oline still fucking sucks but this is an improvement

[u/whospepesilvia]

Mikey is just so much better than Cutter

[u/Advanced-Squash4654 → u/whospepesilvia]

Finally seeing a glimpse of how the offense is supposed to look 😂

[u/CassieJK]

Didn’t defense stay in the locker room?
