So much ugly, so little time.
We were lucky. Sacramento State was looking like Eastern Illinois and Cal Poly SLO. We were looking at 0-2. Thankfully, we decided to play football the entire fourth quarter.
The offensive line disappointed consecutive games. More sustained pushing and shoving is needed. Juwan Washington rushing 36 times for an average of 4.3 yards per carry is an indication of an anemic o-line.
Christian Chapman is likely to miss the Arizona State game. Ryan Agnew filled in admirably. 11/17/159 is a productive half of football. Sure, the two picks kept Sac State in the game, but the Aztec defense allowed one score, rather than two, off the interceptions.
Ethan Dedeaux, Kahale Warring and Tim Wilson, Jr. made the most of their 6, 3 and 3 receptions. 211 of the evening’s total of 271 yards receiving were due to their talents. Not bad and something to build on.
God bless John Barron. Without his 52 and 32 yard scores, the first half is absolutely miserable.
Speaking of miserable, the Aztec defense held the Hornets to 1.7 yards per rush and a mere 234 yards of total offense.
Disaster averted. Arizona State is next. At least we are at home.
1-1.
Go, Aztecs.
