On the sixth Saturday of college football games, Arizona State at least was on the field if for nothing other than practice.
While Florida and LSU were being upset and the Red River Shootout extended to four overtimes, the Sun Devils were practicing for the second time in formal fall camp with a month still to go before their Nov. 7 season opener at USC.
But at least now there is a destination for ASU and the rest of the Pac-12 and Saturdays are not as empty even if they still are far from fulfilling.
"It's exciting knowing we're going to get to play and moving towards that," first-year offensive coordinator Zak Hill said.
