What a difference a week makes. And for Arizona State, that’s not a good thing. The Sun Devils were full of confidence and optimism heading into last Saturday’s game against Stanford but were beaten soundly in all phases of the game. Now comes a brutal five-game stretch that includes California, Oregon, USC and Arizona. The Sun Devils still need a pair of wins to become eligible for the postseason, and at this point that challenge seems imposing. Cal and ASU both have two losses in Pac-10 play, but Cal’s have come against conference giants Oregon and USC. The Golden Bears have won three straight games overall and come in averaging 35 points per game. The Sun Devils have slid to ninth in the Pac-10 in total offense after another marginal display last week. Quarterback Danny Sullivan (knee) and running back Dimitri Nance (shoulder) both missed time at the end of the Stanford game, although both have been practicing this week and should be available for the game. Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler is again supposed to get some time, although how much has not been determined.
