If we had won we could drop the ASU game and still make the conference championship by beating Houston the following week.

Now this is basically an elimination game. Technically if ASU chokes against Zona in the territorial cup and ISU loses one more we would sneak in, but we would no longer control our destiny.

We put ourselves in this position and we now have zero margin for error. We are going to have to be plus 2 in the TO battle and hold ASU to 300 yards or less to win. I think the Defense can rise to the challenge but our offense has to reward that effort.
