</div>
<p>
The Sun Devils have looked electric on offense. ASU have opened the season with glamour and grace as they have put 112 total points in their previous two matches. The Sun Devils have scorched opposing defenses. Nevertheless, Arizona State’s defense has been extremely porous. The Sun Devils allow an average of 34 points per game. They also rank among the worst in America in total defense at 518.5 yards per game (119th National Ranking).

UTSA does not enter with the name and the recognition that many Pac-12 teams effortlessly bolster. UTSA is a C-USA runt that hangs in the middle of the road within their respective conference. Nevertheless, the Road Runners have pieced together an impressive 15th ranked pass defense, surrendering just 125 passing yards per game.

Arizona State Sun Devils at Texas-San Antonio Road Runners Free Pick
An astounding 91% of the public have taken the Sun Devils against the spread. Scoring 68 points against Texas Tech is not much of an achievement as the Red Raiders are not a team known for defensive proficiency. In fact, Texas Tech in recent years has had one of the worst defenses in the FBS. The Red Raiders live by the philosophy of outscoring opponents and on many occasions this approach has come back to haunt them more than help them. Last year, UTSA found themselves in a similar situation with ASU’s arch-rival Arizona was spotting an abundant quantity of points. Arizona had trouble putting the Road Runners away and UTSA covered comfortably. The Sun Devils’ defense is far too accommodating and if they continue to play the way they do, any team has a chance of malingering late in to the game. Tossing in eighteen points poises a lot of risk to any taker as a backdoor covers is even plausible for the Road Runners.
