Arizona State finds its offense in Pac-12 victory over Colorado

"I thought they were going evenly. I just thought Trenton's decision-making was quicker and anticipation was quicker that Thursday. That's the choice that I made and it's been hard for Emory. We had that talk and the thing about Emory, he told me I don't want to do the two series, one series. If you need me, I'll be ready.. He's an ultimate team player but it's absolutely difficult for him.

Not only was the quarterback a change, but Aguano opted to call plays on offense, taking that responsibility out of the hands of first-year offensive coordinator Glenn Thomas.Jones boasts more athleticism than the other ASU quarterbacks but to this point the Sun Devils have not used that dynamic much in the play-calling. Bourguet was impressive in the game against Washington where he came in when Jones was knocked out and was the key factor in the 45-38 upset of the then-No. 21 Huskies.

Bourguet completed his first nine passes, with the first incompletion not coming until the first play of the second quarter. For the game he completed 32 of 43 tries for 435 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. It was the largest single-game passing total for an ASU quarterback since Mike Bercovici had 520 against USC in 2014 and what is now known as the Jael Mary game.

Well Conyers recorded six catches for 108 yards ant three touchdowns of 12, 5 and 20 yards, all career highs. Swinson managed three for 55 yards, including a clutch first-down reception late in the fourth quarter when the Sun Devils were trying to run out the clockThis was Colorado. Not Oregon. Or USC. Or Utah. And the Sun Devils gave up 359 yards, 222 of that through the air. Sure the big games are behind them, but that's a lot of yards to give up against the worst team in the conference.

On such play came in the second quarter when Shrout connected with Tyson on a 58-yard bomb, with Timarcus Davis, ASU's most veteran cornerback, getting beaten badly on the play.ASU returns home to face No. 12 UCLA. Last season the Sun Devils upset the Bruins 42-23 in another game in which UCLA went in nationally ranked as well.
