Arizona State Sun Devils vs Illinois Fighting Illini Preview

Arizona State: The Arizona State Sun Devils are back on a hot start starting out 2-0. Last week ASU defeated the Missouri Tigers last week in overtime after blowing a 14pt lead in the 4th quarter now they have got to turn there attention to this weeks game vs Illinois. This is gonna be a hard week for the Sun Devils they are gonna be going up against a defense who last year led the Big Ten in rushing last season but that was with Mikel LeShore.This year they are going with Jason Ford who is starting off on a slow start but what they really need to worry about is Illinois passing game lead by Nathan Scheelhaase, Nathan has been very accurate the past 2 weeks  completing 71% of his passes for 369 yards. What needs to go right for ASU to start the season at 3-0 they need to have a big game on defense from there corners since All Pac 12 corner Omar Bolden on the shelf they are gonna need a great game from Deveron Carr and Osahon Irabor and also from linebacker Vontaze Burfict who has been doing great so far this season. If all this works #22 Arizona State can move up in the rankings and start at 3-0

Illinois: Just like ASU Illinois is on a nice 2 game win streak to start out the 2011 campaign last week they defeated and shut down South Dakota State 56-3. Illinois is going to be facing #22 Arizona State Sun Devils this week. There are many things that need to go well for the Fighting Illini and that is that they have to stick with there passing game under quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase with ASU's cornerback core still having those ups and downs on plays I can really see them throwing the ball constantly vs ASU.
