Why we lose:

-Trending down. We haven't played great the last several weeks. Aside from first half @UCF, we haven't looked very good since October 12 vs Arizona.
-Offense is looking lost. We have scored 3 touchdowns in our last 20 something drives since UCF.
-This seems to be the trend year after year. We look really good early and at some point we start getting worse and worse while everyone else gets better and better. Look at last year. We lost our last 5 games.
-Arizona State is trending up and playing their best ball of the year. It's also on the road and that crowd is going to be jacked!

Why we win:
-This team seems to be different. Jay Hill has our defense dialed in.
-Salty Kalani is back this week
-We seem to play to the level of our competition. This is a huge game against a good team. I think we will be ready.
-We are more talented than ASU and still the better team. The better team will ultimately win this one.
-We seem to play best in good weather conditions. This game it will be high 70s and sunny.

Ultimately I think we come out with a convincing win on Saturday, 31-21 Cougars.
