Boivin: Sun Devils exposed for what they are: a .500 team
(Photo: Jeff Chiu/AP)BERKELEY, Calif. - Not to get all Zen-like, but Arizona State’s 2015 season has been one trippy journey of enlightenment.
Saturday in the crook of Strawberry Canyon, where the great arms of Joe Kapp, Steve Bartkowski and Aaron Rodgers were refined, another terrific California quarterback exposed the Sun Devils for what they are: a .500 team with some soul-searching to do.
The Golden Bears won 48-46 on a last-second 26-yard field goal by Matt Anderson. But the game was less about what Cal could do then what ASU couldn’t: Make a defensive difference.
Jared Goff, a sure-fire first-round NFL draft pick, passed for 542 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions.
