Sun Devils Wanting to Heat Back Up
The Arizona State Sun Devils are looking to bounce back after losing last week to the Mississippi State Bears. The offense scored 20 points and dropped out of being the 12th-ranked program entering this game. Quarterback Sam Leavitt struggled mightily as he completed 10-of-22 (45.4%) of his passes for 82 yards with a passing touchdown and a pair of interceptions. He also ran the ball well with eight rushes for 25 yards (3.1 yards per carry). A big factor in the offense was the pair of running backs, with Raleek Brown posting 18 carries for 100 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and three catches for 10 yards as well as Kanye Udoh recording 23 rushes for 105 yards (4.6 yards per attempt) with a rushing touchdown.

Texas State Bobcats vs. Arizona State Sun Devils Pick
Spread Pick for Texas State Bobcats vs. Arizona State Sun Devils
- Texas State Bobcats +16.5 (4 units)
This is a lot of points to give to a team that looks like they can run the ball incredibly well and chew clock. Sam Leavitt has not shown the ability to be a consistent quarterback this season, while Brad Jackson is finding the end zone consistently. This Arizona State team looked lost for the majority of the game last week after being ranked 12th in college football. Expect this game to be close, where it is not a full three-possession game here.
Over/Under Pick for Texas State Bobcats vs. Arizona State Sun Devils
- Under 60.5 (5 units)
This game opened at 58.5 total points, so we have a pair of points extra to play with. These teams are running the football extremely well with Texas State averaging 280.0 yards on the ground per game (seventh in the nation) while Arizona State is running for 226.0 yards per game (28th in country). This means the clock will continue to be running and that makes fewer possessions on the table. All in all, go with under 60.5 total points as scoring more than a point per minute feels like a massive task.
