have played, we have never heard this excuse. Making excuses just looks bad, especially when it turns out that your team isn't as good as everyone thought it was and the excuses were just smoke and mirrors.

Strange they would do that since they also seemed aware of crowd noise issues

I knew bringing on Tyson McDaniel was going to pay off BIG TIME!

Ridiculous. Teams deal with that kind of thing all the time.

So THAT'S why ASU lost. I thought it was because they scored fewer points.

They would have beat us if Cam Rising played

We need to file this excuse away to be used in the future. Creative.

It's not unique. It's incredibly common. Think about BYU and Baylor this year.

Well, considering ASU plays in front of PAC12 crowds most of time.

At times during the game I thought ASU was stealing our play calls

Is call-stealing legal in NCAA football?

How could you ever ban call stealing in any sport?

I am sure it is if you do it without enhanced means. For example in the 1996

It’s a long night for any offense if the defense knows what play is coming.

Corn Pop

The number of reasons they’ve come up with for losing that don’t include “BYU played better than us” is simply comical

ASU has made so many excuses for their loss. They just weren't as good as BYU.

What's the excuse for the defense, and the 4 TO's?

Herm had to play against Bill Belichick, and doesn't know how to hide signals?

Probably why he’s not STILL coaching against Bill.
