Perhaps a better chance than usual for the Apps, since Wake is usually in the nation's Top Ten. Nonetheless, the game will be played to some result. One thing is certain, only one guy in the stadium tonite will have actively recruited players on
both rosters. That guy will be wearing the ASU Black & Gold.
This should be interesting, at least!

Well, it could have been interesting, but I wouldn't describe it that way. We were outshot 23 to 2. Grim is the word. We're O-3 with another roady before our guys get their home opener. Marshall is up next--Sat. afternoon in Rust City.

We "parked the bus" , sat back and played D the whole game, and did not get our 1st shot (a prayer of an attempt to chip keeper) until the 75th minute. Wake is an excellent passing and possession team who has easily outshot their opponents so far, having taken 85 shots to date through 4 games. We obviously have a long way to go to attain a level of play comparable to Wake, and it won't happen overnight. Most dissapointing that we gave up 2 goals in the last 5 minutes of play, including the last goal scored with just 11 seconds before the final whistle

Coach O'Keefe obviously has his hands full, but wins will come. Marshall comes to mind. We have one common opponent--Bowling Green. Both teams played at BG. Both surrendered three goals. MU was shut out. The Apps did manage to net one goal. Saturday's match should be competitive.
ASU's bottom line is to get more skilled talent. Coach "O" says he has some help on the way for next season.

Coach has a great opportunity to put his recruiting connections to good use. hopefully he can get us back to respectability in the near furure, but it won't happen overnight.
