At first, it wasn’t quite obvious, like the first few drops of an impending rainstorm falling harmlessly from the clouds.
Often times a head coach will take complete and full responsibility for a loss like this one. Edwards showed some accountability but certainly didn’t bend over backwards to assume full blame for the unmitigated disaster. “It kind of felt like the whole week, we as a team overall weren’t really locked into the level of detail that we usually are,” graduate quarterback Emory Jones said. “I feel like that showed up today. That’s something that we need to be aware of and realize and actually just get better from.”
Even on obvious rushing downs when it seemed as though EMU could have loudly announced to the Sun Devil defense that they planned on giving the ball to Evans and letting him run straight at them, ASU got gashed repeatedly. Six yards on first down. Eight on second. 15 on third. Whenever the Eagles decided to put the ball in the hands of their star back, he had plenty of room to run. When he wasn’t gifted with open real estate, he broke tackles and muscled his way upfield.
Third down was again an issue for ASU. This time it killed them on both sides of the ball. During its near-perfect first half, EMU converted on a whopping nine out of ten third downs. ASU was successful on just two of five. It didn’t really matter the distance; EMU was able to pick apart the ASU defense on third down to continue its long, methodical scoring drives. The Eagles only punted once in the ballgame.
