Arizona State vs NAU Recap: Penalties, Playmakers and Streaming Chaos
Description
In this episode of Bleav in ASU, we recap Arizona State’s season-opening victory over Northern Arizona in front of a sold-out Sun Devil Stadium crowd—the first home-opener sellout in more than 25 years. We dive into the good, the bad, and the chaotic, from the costly penalties that nearly derailed the game to the playmaking performances of many players. Who served as underrated difference-makers, even if the stat sheet doesn’t tell the whole story. We also talk about what the historic atmosphere meant for the program, how the crowd energized the Sun Devils, and, of course, the ESPN streaming fiasco in the second half that had fans scrambling. It wasn’t a perfect night, but a win is a win and this one gave us plenty to break down about Kenny Dillingham’s squad as the season gets underway.
