Arizona State: 2026 Week 11 recap

Arizona State sits at 4–4 after dropping a road test to BYU 27–20 in Week 9, a result that left the Sun Devils' rating unchanged at 2.3. The loss underscores a deeper offensive malaise: a red-zone touchdown rate of just 15% means scoring opportunities are routinely wasted in the moments that matter most. Third-down conversions at 32% compound the problem, forcing longer field positions and fewer possessions overall. With a playoff probability of zero and conference-title odds equally bleak, ASU needs a spark. Colorado visits Tempe in Week 10—a winnable matchup for a team still chasing bowl eligibility, though GIE's projection of 5.8 expected wins suggests the trajectory is uphill.
