So ... you've noticed how well the Mountaineers have been playing, right? They got whipped by Clemson and have beaten everybody else on the (admittedly not incredibly hard) schedule by an average score of 43-7. From the "it's not who you play, it's how" perspective, ASU is playing really, really well. Like, "top 30 in both Off. S&P+ and Def. S&P+" well.
When I was previewing ASU this offseason, I didn't know how to treat last season's late hot streak. There were such distinct poles between their early-season and late-season form that I wasn't sure what that meant moving forward.
It meant good things. Georgia Southern is a strong team, and ASU outplayed the Eagles in just about every way.
