Why the Number Is Two Touchdowns
Arizona State’s roster turned over heavily from the two teams that finished at the top of the Big 12, including the 2024 title team, and the market treats this as a rebuilt program on the road at an SEC stadium at 11 a.m. local time. A&M’s defense pitched a shutout in Week 1 and is expected to be the strength of the team while a new coordinator, Holman Wiggins, settles the offense behind Marcel Reed.
The Case for Arizona State
Cutter Boley threw for 387 yards and six touchdowns in the opener and the Sun Devils generated consistent pressure, even if it only produced two sacks. A&M’s offensive line is the unit its own beat writers question most, and the Aggies sputtered early against Missouri State before pulling away. Fourteen and a half is a lot of points against a quarterback who just put up six scores, even if the competition was Morgan State.
Our Pick
Texas A&M 34, Arizona State 21. The Aggies win comfortably but the Sun Devils cover, and the game goes over. Matchup notes on Arizona State vs. Texas A&M: time, TV and how to watch.
