Arizona State will be angry, desperate
1. Arizona State will be angry, desperate: My friend Lee Corso always says that nothing makes a football team play harder than the twin feelings of urgency and redemption. For the second straight week Georgia will be facing a team that is a little desperate when the Bulldogs go to Arizona State.
Understand how important this game is to Arizona State and Dennis Erickson’s desire to put the Sun Devils back on the national stage. Their fans have been talking about this week’s game with Georgia for a long time. The game is one of the hardest sellouts the school has ever had. I talked folks in Phoenix last week who have been there for huge games with Southern Cal, Notre Dame, and Nebraska but have never experienced the buzz that exists for this visit from the Georgia Bulldogs.
