Mississippi State at Arizona State
(NCAAF) Bulldogs (MSST) vs. Sun Devils (ASU),
Point Spread: 5.50 | -108.00 Bulldogs (MSST) (Away)
Result: Loss
Is Arizona State really ready to carry nearly a full TD against an SEC foe based mostly upon a 48-7 night romp past a rebuilding Wyoming (with a new coach) in the opener? Keep in mind, this was only a 3-9 team last season, and need more convincing that Michigan State transfer Sam Leavitt is the answer at QB. SEC sources are alerting to keep an eye on the Bulldogs, not necessarily as a threat in the league but rather as an improved lot from last season when the brief Zach Arnett experiment jumped the rails. New MSU HC Jeff Lebby knows something about offenses after shepherding potent Oklahoma versions before taking this Starkville assignment, and drew a very good effort out of Baylor transfer QB Blake Shapen (247 YP, 44 YR, accounting for 4 TDs) in the opening 56-7 rout of Eastern Kentucky.
