Aztecs Face Big Step Up With Second Game

Aztec Football got off to a winning start with the expected results. Rashaad Penny was unstoppable, with 197 yards in only 3 quarters. With improved receivers, QB Christian Chapman had a big night passing. The defense, except for the long completed pass on the Aggies' first play from scrimmage, looked strong. At least until Rocky turned the 4th quarter over to inexperienced players.

This week it will be a lot tougher playing Arizona State, a Pac 12 team, on the road. It will still be hot even with an 8 p.m. kick-off. History favors ASU. They lead the series, 11-0-1. This would be their 7th straight victory over a non-conference opponent. And this would be the 90th career win for Coach Todd Graham.

The Sun Devils may not be near the top of the Pac 12, but they are good. So, a road win here would be meaningful and serve as a valuable prep for next week's home game against nationally ranked Stanford.
