Heading into the 2018 Las Vegas Bowl, the Arizona State Sun Devils will be up against one of their toughest tests on the season in No. 21 Fresno State.
The Fresno State Bulldogs enter the matchup with one of the top defenses in the nation that helped guide the defensive-minded team to an 11-2 record and a Mountain West championship.
A similarity between the teams? Out of the seven combined losses between the teams, all came within one score. These close losses shut out ASU of the opportunity to make the Rose Bowl and a chance at a New Year’s Six bowl appearance for Fresno State.
