Last week: Lost to Washington 44-18

This week: at Arizona (Friday, 7:30 p.m., ESPN)

Comment: The Sun Devils have lost five in a row, and it’s not even close to the worst losing streak in the state. Of course, that hasn’t stopped certain ASU players from talking some serious smack about Arizona. "A lot of people seem to be running all over them,'' tight end Kody Kohl told the Arizona Republic. "People are being aggressive and knocking them over and things like that. I think they do have some good skill, and they might have some good coaches, but I haven't seen too much out of them." Them’s fightin’ words!
