Northern Arizona @ Arizona State Game Thread

[Jacks76]

Jacks go for the win in Tempe.

[Jacks76]

Good kickoff weather...cloudy and overcast...

Paul

[catbob]

Audio/video?

[Jacks76]

Broadcast on Fox Sports Net Arizona at 7:15 pm Arizona time.

[Jacks76]

ASU will be starting several freshman in this one...to get game experience, I would assume.

Paul

[I Bleed Purple]

Ooh, it's on Fox Sports Central (?) here. I'll watch the blowout.

Would rather watch Utah State and UNLV, but I can't find it on TV.

[Jacks76]

Game is tape delayed.

Paul

[I Bleed Purple]

Tape delayed? It's supposed to start now and it's about to start on TV. Not sure what you're getting at.

[Jacks76]

Tape delayed in Arizona due to the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game.

Paul

[I Bleed Purple]

NAU touchback to start.

Lots of touchbacks this year, I imagine.

[I Bleed Purple]

Well that was quick. Long pass for a score for ASU.

[I Bleed Purple]

NAU to punt after one first down.

[I Bleed Purple]

Muffed punt, should have been recovered by NAU, but ASU gets it.

[I Bleed Purple]

ASU to punt.

[I Bleed Purple]

Big third down reception for a first down. NAU in opponent's territory.

[I Bleed Purple]

QB punt on fourth from the 35 is shanked. Out of bounds at the 23. ASU takes over.

[I Bleed Purple]

ASU with one first down, but a sack on 2nd, forcing too long a 3rd down, and ASU punts again.

[I Bleed Purple]

Fumbled snap. NAU against their own goal line.

[I Bleed Purple]

Big punt return for ASU. Knocking on the door again.

[I Bleed Purple]

Strong hold by NAU defense. FG try from 34 yds.

FG good. 10-0 ASU

[I Bleed Purple]

NAU moves the ball a bit, but drive stalls at midfield.

Punt downed at the two inch line.

[I Bleed Purple]

99.67 yards no problem for ASU as they march down the field and score.

[I Bleed Purple]

From a standpoint of evaluating NAU for the Big Sky. The offense looks like it can be potent, but the defense looks quite sketchy.

[I Bleed Purple]

ASU gets the ball, up 17, on the 20.

[I Bleed Purple]

Very quick TD for ASU. NAU's defense looking really porous.

[GOKATS]

So is the game on tv or not?

[I Bleed Purple]

Fox Sports Central for me.

ASU driving again. QB has around 10 consecutive complete passes.

As I typed that, he through an incomplete pass. Go figure.

[I Bleed Purple]

NAU stops 'em. FG to make it 27-0.

[I Bleed Purple]

Halftime folks. 27-0.

Not much to say about this one.

[GOKATS]

I've got at least a gazillion channels showing the WA/OR game, half in HD, but can't find the NAU game.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Fox College Sports Central for me.

[I Bleed Purple]

Uneventful third quarter so far. One field goal for ASU.

[I Bleed Purple]

Nau with the short FG to get on the board. 30-3.

[I Bleed Purple]

NAU gets into the endzone.

30-10

[I Bleed Purple]

Another FG on the board. 30-13.

[I Bleed Purple]

And there's the final. 30-13.

Not anything unexpected.

[GOKATS]

Nope, about as expected.
