The Sun Devils will be shorthanded on Friday vs. Utah
Arizona State's first Big 12 football victory came at a cost: Two key defensive players were ejected and will miss the first half of Friday's huge matchup with former Pac-12 rival Utah.
Replays shown on TV were inconclusive on helmet to helmet contact, but Big 12 review officials - who are responsible for confirming targeting calls - decided to eject him. Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham said after the game that he doesn't fault Elliott for the hit."To me, those two plays aren't on our players," said Dillingham. "That's just the nature of the game of football right now. You hope they don't happen.
"I mean, his head hit the ball, which also knocked it out," said Dillingham. "So you could give him seven points and not get targeting. I mean, I don't know what the tradeoff is."
