Locked On Sun Devils Hit - Quick Takes on Arizona State Sun Devils Football & Basketball

Why ASU’s Pass Defense Must Fear DJ Lagway

Episode Summary

DJ Lagway may have limited mobility, but his precision throwing seam routes could challenge Arizona State’s strong pass defense. Can the Sun Devils’ secondary maintain their impressive 161 passing yards allowed per game, or will Lagway’s big arm break through? Kenny Dillingham’s comments raise the stakes, emphasizing Baylor’s explosive passing capability, despite a middling completion percentage and questions about Lagway’s willingness— or ability— to run. Baylor enters Mountain America Stadium just inches from being an undefeated, possibly ranked team, proving they’re more dangerous than their record suggests. With a disruptive defensive line, a gritty slot receiver channeling Cam Scattebo-like energy, and the potential return of their top wideout, this matchup is primed to be a defensive battle. Will Arizona State capitalize on the Bears’ inconsistencies, or does Baylor have all the pieces for a statement win in the Big 12 race?
