ASU has won 11 straight against the Utes dating back to 1977 and is 20-6 overall against Utah. Billed as the No. 21 player to watch in Topdrawersoccer.com’s top 100, Berryhill is also a very good table setter when bringing the ball up to the midfielder.

That may be a simplistic synopsis but that’s the type of influence Wilson has on game day.
Returning 1,000 yard rusher DJ Foster returns, but not at the running back position. Arizona State (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12) could fall into that classification when it faces Utah (5-0, 2-0) on Saturday. I mean, really strong runner.
Booker is ready for the challenge of an aggressive defense that blitzes the pass and run.
As it heads into a critical matchup with No. 4 Utah on Saturday in Salt Lake City at 4-2, ASU has righted the ship a bit with wins in its last two games. Utah’s depth improved. Last season, the Utes went 9-4, losing to ASU in overtime, but posting their first winning conference record since joining the Pac-12 in 2011. “We’ve got to just keep passing the ball well and keep the defense honest and getting all those guys out the box”. That’s the inconsistency that’s plagued him throughout his career.
Now, there is one more to add to the list of top transfers: Wide receiver Tim White.
“There’s a few things we’ve identified that he could’ve done better”, Utah co-offensive coordinator Jim Harding said. Coach Todd Graham insisted this was the best team he had coached in his fourth season in Tempe, so he wasn’t going to shy away from national championship talk.
At an average of 134 yards rushing, they’ve run the ball better than they’ve passed it, but they’ve still averaged a shade under 3 yards per carry.
The Utes need Wilson to step up to stay on the path toward a Pac-12 title and a berth in the College Football Playoff. Arizona State was victorious in last week’s performance as well, easily getting past Colorado 48-23. They’re now tied for first in the nation in turnover margin (plus-2.0 per game) with 17 gained and seven lost through five games. The Utes picked off California QB Goff six times last week. Much of the success can be attributed to players such as sophomore safety Marcus Williams, who now leads the team with four interceptions. “(Bercovici) stares down his routes. I’ve got a lot of respect for him. But when it came time to win the game, Phillips missed. They beat then-No. 7 UCLA two weeks ago. And all of a sudden, Utah is playing UCLA one week, Arizona State one week and going up to Oregon and playing Stanford. “Every year it’s a dog fight because he does such a great job. You got to make sure you gang tackle, form tackle him”. “So they’ve been very impressive”.
“We’re going up against probably the best opponent that we’ve played all season”, Sun Devils quarterback Mike Bercovici said Monday. So the focus for Washington is continuing to climb the Pac-12 ladder – the recent lossless stretch has the Dawgs up to fourth place in the Pac-12 and just two points behind USC (a team they already beat 1-0) and Washington State for second. He’s a four-year starter, so he’s played a ton of football, and you can tell all the experience is really starting to pay off.
