Texas Tech’s highway journey to Arizona State simply bought much more enjoyable as Sun Devils beat TCU

When Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders head to Tempe, Arizona in just a few weeks, they’ll face off in opposition to one of the chaotic and worrying groups within the Big 12. It looks as if nearly each recreation that Kenny Dillingham and the Arizona State Sun Devils are concerned in, a ton of stress and nonsense and chaos occurs to be concerned.

That occurred final evening in opposition to the No. 24 TCU Horned Frogs. It occurred every week in the past in opposition to the Baylor Bears. It occurred (albeit in a loss) on the highway in opposition to the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

But, the stress and chaos isn’t what we’re right here to speak about.

With Arizona State’s 27-24 win over TCU and their 27-24 win in opposition to the Baylor Bears, the Sun Devils are instantly within the lead within the Big 12 standings proper now. This is a staff that many individuals began counting out following their highway loss to Mississippi State.

But these Bulldogs are 4-0 proper now and Starkville is a tricky place to play. 

Arizona State might actually present Texas Tech with a really actual problem for the Big 12 crown

With Arizona State now being 4-1, and their solely loss being on the highway and coming in opposition to a staff that’s at the moment unbeaten, it’s honest to say that the Sun Devils ought to be ranked proper now (they by no means ought to have been unranked following that loss to MSU) and they’re nonetheless a really actual menace within the Big 12 championship race.

Texas Tech, proper now, is checked out as one of the best staff within the convention by many individuals. And that ought to be the case. But, the Red Raiders might want to take the Sun Devils critically, particularly if Arizona State is ready to beat Utah in what can be their subsequent recreation.

If that occurs, Texas Tech’s win over the Utes received’t look fairly as particular (it’ll nonetheless be good, however simply not fairly as spectacular). Also, if Arizona State managed to beat the Utes, there’s an opportunity that we’re taking a look at two true convention championship contenders within the Big 12 matching up within the common season when the Red Raiders face the Sun Devils.

That recreation is getting much more fascinating by the week. It’s going to be enjoyable to see how this one performs out.
