Arizona State sits at a healthy 3-1 as the Sun Devils have their Big 12 home opener against TCU. There are five key factors that Arizona State must excel in to achieve victory in what is a must win game.
1. Can the defense shut down TCU quarterback Josh Hoover?
Josh Hoover, like Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson was last week, is on pace to throw for 4,000 yards this season. The Sun Devil defense limited Robertson to 250 yards and three touchdowns last week, so they have the talent to do the same against Hoover.
