Arizona State Fans React Following Sun Devils Collapse at Utah

What a difference two quarters can make.

The Arizona State Sun Devils were leading 21-7 over the Utah Utes in a pivotal Pac-12 game that carried significant implications. Two quarters separated Arizona State and improving to 6-1, with a very good chance of realistically making a push for an appearance in the conference title game with a victory.

Then, the Sun Devils took their foot off the gas pedal.

Utah ran rampant in the second half, outscoring Arizona State 28-0 to emerge victorious in Salt Lake City with a final score of 35-21.

It was a collapse for the ages, acting as arguably the most disappointing loss for Arizona State in quite some time. Everything that could have gone wrong for the Sun Devils came to fruition.

Penalties once again haunted Arizona State, as the team tallied a whopping 13 penalties for 115 yards. Quarterback Jayden Daniels was sacked four times and had an unofficial count of five passes dropped on the night.

The Utes totaled 455 yards of offense on the night and became the first team to reach over 400 yards on Arizona State's defense all season.

It was a dreadful night, and Sun Devil faithful on social media sounded off after a disappointing display from ASU.

Sun Devil Fans Sound Off

Once I pull this truck out of my ass perhaps I can come to grips with this loss. Absolutely terrible. What did they do in the locker room at halftime? They obviously didn’t focus. Just sucks that this season now looks like most seasons. Hurts as an alumni and a fan.

At least we won't have to vacate anything meaningful

Standard. As soon as there is some optimism, it’s gone in a heartbeat. Been like this for years. Never fails!

Even Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham took to Twitter following the game.

28 unanswered.

And it's never good to be lumped into the same group as Arizona.

Arizona and ASU both outscored 28-0 in the second half of their respective games today.

The Sun Devils look to regroup and rest, as their next game isn't until October 30 in a home tilt vs Washington State.
