Arizona State vs Oklahoma State Game Preview

Why Arizona State Will Win

Shhhhhhhhh. Arizona State is going to be good.

Completely blown off in a Pac-12 with USC making all the noise, and with Utah and Oregon getting plenty of attention, Arizona State got through a rough offseason and potentially upgraded in a few areas thanks to the transfer portal.

Former Florida quarterback Emory Jones is in Tempe because Anthony Richardson is Anthony Richardson. He was solid in the 40-3 win over Northern Arizona, former Wyoming RB Xazavian Valladay is in for a big year, and the starting 22 will be more than just competitive.

Don’t expect a ton of points, but the Cowboys won’t have to sweat too much.
