The Sun Devils lost Trenton Bourguet early in the first quarter. Jacob Conover came in and didn’t record a complete pass and rushed for -2 yards. Overall, the ASU offense had 13 rushing yards and -1 passing yards in the first half.
Bourguet has returned to the game, but he couldn’t complete a pass and nearly threw a pick.
The Arizona State defense has done all they could. Despite the two touchdowns early to Utah’s Devaughn Vele, they got multiple stops in the red zone, including a missed field goal. They still allowed almost 300 yards, but an insane receiving touchdown for Utah in the second half by Munir McClain gave them a 24-3 lead. Utah’s QB Bryson Barnes is 15/24 for 130 yards and three touchdowns. They also have three separate rushers with over 50 yards, including Barnes.

ASU’s QBs have been under pressure all day but have only taken one sack. The O-line currently has only six active players is holding up as best as possible.
Arizona State has to get the passing game going in the second half if they want to save this game.
