Trevenchy's Daily Pitchfork: The True Adversity ☀️🔱 // The 480 Experience

On today’s Daily Pitchfork, Trevenchy breaks down the 35-31 win over Kansas over family weekend! Losing the turnover battle and coming out with a winning outcome is very rare. Although, the response by the team was crucial. There were times where doubt ensued with our Sun Devils. Through some emotional departures due to targeting penalties, our guys were challenged to compete through true adversity. This is by Kenny’s definition as a true dog fight. He has gotten his team prepared for games like this all offseason knowing that any game in the Big 12 will be competitive. Nonetheless, getting a win for the Big 12 home opener, we are historically say that Mountain America is 1-0 in the Big 12. Stadium atmosphere is a major component to the energy and momentum for this team. Getting the ball within the last few minutes of the game is exactly the circumstance you hope for. Controlling your own destiny by leading a game winning drive to send Kansas home.
Now that we are in the thick of conference play, the competition will continue to grow. Hosting Utah on a 6 day turn around after the Utes are coming off a bye week can be seen in different perspectives. It’s easy to infer that there is an advantage for Utah, but my outlook is different. I feel that this team needed this momentum to have more confidence going into the Friday Night Lights. Proving to themselves that they can truly compete in the big 12 and play to their identity . I am excited to play Utah because we have an identity that is built to beat their style of play. Controlling time of possession and making splash plays on defense , Utah does not have the dominant offense to make this high scoring. There is a lot of speculation going into their starting QB conversation, either way I believe in Coach Dillingham to get the guys ready. If we win this game, I feel good about our chances in getting some Top 25 votes. Your Sun Devils are close to being nationally recognized, now they have to perform under the National Spotlight, ESPN on a Friday Night.
