ASU is losing Tyson and Skattebo.

BYU '80

Their rush D is good, but agreed—losing Scattebo and Tyson is huge

Tyson is coming back

Surprising. Probably due to injury recovery.

Scateboo gone hurts them for sure. Leavitt is a great QB and the press are kind of lazy.

Leavitt isn’t great yet. He was bad against Texas outside of a 62 yard throw

Agreed that this is likely what they will be. What they *should* be is another q

What makes you think ASU would be first without Skattebo?

I read OP as who “will be” not “should” so my bad. Having said that (lol), Leavitt is significantly better than JR and

I think Leavitt and Retzlaff are the same, but the Baylor QB will be the best.

As people, runners or in grit? JR wins easily. As passers? It’s not even close-Leavitt is hands down better. If JR

Without Skattebo lets see Leavitt as a passer

BYU '80

Jan 8, 5:28pm

His QBR of 70 was certainly better than JR’s 31 against a much better D and is a significantly better passer overall.

Leavitt is also 13 points better in pass efficiency for 2024 and is 9th nationally in QBR (JR is 61st). Not close IMO

ASU is losing their main offensive threat.

I bet ASU will get picked to win it, but not by a huge margin.

Yep, parity w/in the B12 isn't good for the playoffs. The B12 doesn't have a

Utah at #9 is too low. They now have some good offensive coaches.

KW has yet to find an OC he can't screw up.

Maybe Baylor.

Did anyone end up transferring in conference? Would be tough if someone shared our playbook, calls with their new team
