SOC - Arizona State

Our defense plays surprisingly well. Forces a lot of punts. But we still give up 27 points because our offense keeps giving ASU a short field. The offense does come alive under Miles Osei in the second half, cutting a 20-3 Arizona State lead to 20-17, but Osei's inexperience rears its head and he throws a crucial interception in the fourth quarter. Arizona State scores with that short field, and our comeback is shot.

Arizona State 27, Illinois 17
