ASU Wins
People have said the PAC-10 was overrated this year in football, but they are now 2-0 in their bowls with ASU's win over Rutgers. Granted, the real three are yet to come, but it does look good for the m being the best conference in the NCAA. You usually hear SEC or Big 10 winning such a prize, it's nice to see a change.
ASU ends the season with 5 losses, 4 of them to teams that were in the top 10 at some point in the season. That's while having a huge number of players on the bench or playing with broken bones. The transfers they're getting as well as the returning healthy players should make them a really good team next year. It will probably be between them and Cal for the top of the PAC-10 (assuming health).
It will be interesting to see who the quarterback is.. The red shirt freshman who finished off the season (Carpenter) has the second highest QB ranking in the NCAA behind Vince Young of Texas. Keller is more of a leader and prior to his injury only had 2 interceptions, just as Carpenter had in the same number of games. Needless to say, there will be depth at the position no matter who they pick.
Anyways, ASU wins, although it was disappointing to see them win the Insight bowl when they should have been going to something better, considering how they started the season.
"they should have been going to something better, considering how they started the season."
How they started the season? Do you mean how they lost to LSU in their second game? Pac 10 football is weak..........sheep!
