You’ll recall last year, I pointed attention to Cameron Scattebo who transferred from Sacramento State to ASU. Scattobo runs with Czonka-like ferocity. Against Mississippi State, he ran for 265 yards, breaking one tackle after another, moving the entire mound of tacklers on some plays. He’s the most physical RB to arrive on the scene in a long time. Addtionally, he has terrific hands, blocks like madman, and talks up a storm during the game. If you missed the game, you’ll definitely see some highlights on this guy.
With Scattebo, ASU has a formidable team, perhaps one that will compete and make the playoffs.
Skattebo destroys Utah. Toughest kid in college football. Refuses to go down, breaks more tackles than anyone. Has exceptional hands. Blocks like a fiend. Plays fiercely.
When the game ended last night, the crowd screamed Scattebo over and over again.
I first spotted this kid when he played at Sac State. I could hardly believe the way he ran roughshod over defenders. I am a believer that championship teams must have an effective rushing attack which translates to a more successful total offense.
Though Arizona State gives up a lot of yardage in games, they have the capacity, similar to Miami’s, to outscore their opponents, putting up prodigious numbers of points on the scoreboard. I hope their stellar WR Joyner is physically able play during the playoff games.
It never occurred to me to place a bet on Arizona State.
As for the playoffs, I think Boise State will be a problem for any of the teams.
