Arizona State is in need of a rebound after getting trounced by Utah on the road in Week 7. Naturally, the Sun Devils will play their toughest game of the season on Saturday against the No. 7 Texas Tech Red Raiders.
What was once viewed as a preview of the Big 12 Championship Game in the preseason will now be a survival matchup for ASU as it tries to avoid a third loss and keep its College Football Playoff hopes on life support.
Fans may remember last season where the team suffered a second loss to an inferior Cincinnati opponent when it also lost quarterback Sam Leavitt to injury. It then went on a six-game winning streak, including its first conference title since 1996. Hopefully history can repeat itself this year with quarterback Sam Leavitt listed as probable after missing the Utah game with a surprise right foot injury.
