ASU Football: Defense shrivels, offense goes stale in deflating 30-21 home loss to Eastern Michigan

If all good things in life come in waves, surf season in Tempe has been postponed.

As 20.5-point favorites at home, Arizona State (1-2) dropped a shocker to Eastern Michigan (2-1) by a score of 30-21.

Negligible Improvements

Following a matchup in which Arizona State conceded 197 total rushing yards in Stillwater, the ante was upped by Eastern Michigan on Saturday. Eagles’ rushers combined for over 300 yards on the ground, highlighted by a phenomenal 257-yard performance from senior running back Samson Evans.

“You have to have gap integrity,” coach Herm Edwards said postgame.
