Arizona State opened up their year with a win over Northern Arizona, but then took a 34-17 loss to Oklahoma State. The losing streak continued in games versus Eastern Michigan, Utah and USC, but the Sun Devils managed a 45-38 win over Washington. 

In the Stanford game, the Sun Devils had a 14-6 lead going into halftime. Arizona State failed to score in the second half however, ultimately losing 15-14. QB Emory Jones posted 227 yards with a TD and a pick, while Xazavian Valladay rushed 18 times for 76 yards and a TD.

Over on the Colorado side, they began the year on a losing streak. The Buffaloes fell to TCU, Air Force, Minnesota, UCLA and Arizona over their first five outings of 2022. Colorado stopped the bleeding with a 20-13 overtime win over California in game six. 

Matched up against Oregon State, the Buffaloes were down 21-3 by halftime and didn’t get any closer. Colorado gave up points in every quarter in a 42-9 loss. QB JT Shrout managed 206 yards with two picks, and Jayle Stacks rushed eight times for 50 yards and a score. 

PICK: I’m leaning toward Arizona State, but probably staying away from this one. The Sun Devils fell apart after halftime in their loss versus Stanford over the weekend, giving up 398 total yards and 28 first downs. Arizona State was a tepid 4-of-13 on third downs and had eight penalties in the loss. 

As for Colorado, they were dismantled by a good Oregon State team in their last outing. The Buffaloes had four turnovers and went just 2-of-11 on third downs. Colorado should match up better here but I don’t think they’ll cover.
