TEMPE, Ariz. -- Allowing a 52-yard completion on third-and-27 is never a good omen.
Neither is committing 14 penalties.
Or getting caught sleeping on an onside kick.
Or finishing 1 of 11 on third down against the country's 129th-ranked third-down defense.
Or allowing more yards on an opponent's first 31 plays than were given up in an entire game just one week before.
Be that bad in one or two phases of the game, and you're likely to lose. But all of them? That's almost a guarantee for a quiet plane ride home.
No.
