Others with a lot more upper-level playing/coaching experience know a lot more about this than I do, but I'd think that one advantage you have in a matchup vs. the Sun Devil defense is the fact that you run a spread with more receivers. A more traditional offense like SC's sort of plays to the Sun Devil defense's strength by allowing the front seven to play a bigger role, stuffing the run, rushing the QB, etc. But with a spread and more receivers split out, that would seem to require more A-State DBs on the field, and also require the front seven to "stay home" rather than attack relentlessly, so to speak. It'd be interesting to hear if this is a correct assessment from some of those who've played/coached on this board... Anyway, it's not a matchup that I like with Foles playing so well and your OL not allowing easy sacks.
