GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: If ASU does not turn the ball over and plays to its capability on offense, it will be difficult for the Sun Devils to lose against an Arizona team that has flaws defensively. Arizona ranks No. 10 in the Pac-12 in total defense, allowing 434.8 yards a game while ASU’s offense, led by QB Manny Wilkins, RB Eno Benjamin and WR N’Keal Harry, is No. 4 in the conference in total offense gaining 429.4 yards per game.
DRAFT SLANT
–WR N’Keal Harry, projected to be a high first-round draft selection, had seven receptions for 105 yards against Oregon last week but he was kept out of the end zone. Although only a junior, he ranks No. 4 in career receiving yards at ASU with 2,834.
ROSTER REPORT:
–S Demonte King (shoulder) did not play last week at Oregon and is expected to make a return at Arizona this week.
–DT D.J. Davidson, a freshman, suffered a broken ankle at USC last month and is out for the remainder of the season.
–S Jalen Harvey injured his shoulder on a tackle attempt two weeks ago against UCLA and was forced to leave the game. He did not play last week at Oregon. His status for Saturday’s game at Arizona is uncertain.
