SAN FRANCISCO-The Pac-12 Conference has acknowledged an error by the officiating crew during Saturday’s game between Arizona State and Washington State, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott announced today.

The game between Washington State and Arizona State will be today, November 7, at 3:30 p.m. EST. According to scout.com, Subtyl is a 4-star prospect who picked Arizona State over schools such as Texas A&M, Auburn, Boise State, Cal, Washington, and Washington State.

“I’ve always thought of our team as one that finishes and doesn’t give up leads”, Graham said. The Cougars have sold out two of the past three games, and one win in the remaining three regular season games guarantees the Cougars their first winning season since 2003.

Lucas, who says he will go to ASU as a cornerback or safety with a possibly also playing slot receiver, follows teammate N’Keal Harry to ASU.

“I know we have a really good football team”. The 2006 game was another tight contest as the Devils pulled out a 26-23 overtime win at Husky Stadium.

Jordan Simone had his third consecutive game with double-digit tackles, finishing with 13, while Demario Richard rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown to pace the Sun Devils.

“That’s the worst performance we’ve had defensively in the second half”, Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. “Ultimately, I’m responsible for it”. Arizona State Sun Devils rank at 45 for 238.0 road passing yards where as Washington State Cougars rank at 22 for allowing 154.8 passing yards at home.

Arizona State would gain 20 yards on its ensuing drive before punting once again, Matt Haack got off a long 54 yard punt that would make the Cougars start on its own one yard line. The spot of the ball was a turnover on downs, so Wazzu took another shot at fourth down.

“That’s kind of what’s happened”, Graham said. Erik Powell kicked a 22-yard field goal to put the Cougars on the scoreboard. That was followed by a shanked six-yard Cougar punt to set ASU up inside WSU territory. The play briefly continued, at which point the line judge determined the whistle was blown inadvertently. Falk then threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Williams to cut Arizona State’s lead to 14-10 at halftime. As a result, Scott said the officiating crew erred in ruling it a whistle and not officiating the initial whistle as the end of the play.

“Everyone is getting hyped up before the game and listening to a few bumping rap music and stuff, and I’m in the corner of the locker room just chilling out and keeping my heart rate down”, he said.

Graham said the inadvertent whistle was “pretty big”, but declined to comment further.
