Unimpressed by ASU's No. 14 ranking, the Cougars hung two touchdowns on the Devils ... and wen't for two in a 15-4 win on Friday.

Coming off a 1-3 series against UTSA, starting a three-game series at No. 14 ASU did not look promising for WSU. I have no idea what happened between the end of the UTSA and Friday, but the Cougars got off to a good start against ASU, knocking off the Sun Devils 15-4 on Friday.

A single win may not seem like much, but consider it was WSU's second win their last 18 games at ASU. Another win on Saturday would make the roadtrip a success despite the UTSA debacle.
