Everett Golston is unstopable.

Here's some info on ND
If No. 8 Notre Dame has any hope of covering the ground necessary to jump up into the Top 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings, it can’t afford another loss. The same can be said for No. 12 Arizona State, which hosts the Fighting Irish on Saturday. The Sun Devils climbed one slot ahead of the Fighting Irish in the most recent playoff rankings, sitting in the No. 9 spot as the second-best Pac-12 squad.
Notre Dame bounced back from a loss at Florida State by beating Navy last week but is struggling to close some holes on the defense that have cropped up of late. “I think we've got to continue to improve in tighter coverage and get home when we've got the opportunities,” Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly told reporters. “I think if we do that, we'll be fine on Saturday.” Arizona has climbed up the rankings on the strength of its defense while holding opponents to an average of 17.5 points in four straight victories, including 12 in the last three contests.
The Fighting Irish are on the final leg of a three-game road stretch and overcame the poor defensive effort against Navy last week with some impressive offensive efficiency. Quarterback Everett Golson threw three touchdown passes and ran for three more scores as Notre Dame piled up 533 total yards. “(Golson) definitely has felt like this is his offense, and it falls on his shoulders to make sure that we don't lose another football game,” Kelly told reporters. “…Yeah, I think you're just seeing a guy that's just maturing and getting better each and every week.”
The Sun Devils suffered their lone loss 62-27 at home against UCLA on Sept. 25, but have since become one of the better defensive teams in the Pac-12. “We do a lot schematically, just eliminating the errors that come with inexperience and really getting it to where we can execute our system,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham told reporters of both sides of the ball, “and I think the other half is the coaches learning the best approaches for the players and getting the right pieces in place.” One of those right pieces is wide receiver Jaelen Strong, who has six TDs in the last four games.

They want equal action on both sides bearComment -
does ASU still run that hurry up style offense similar to Oregon?Comment -
would asu even be ranked if not for that hailmary bs vs. usc?Comment -
probably not. ASU jumped 4 spots i believe in the polls. Many times you see this before a game with another ranked opponent in effort to hype up tv ratings.
remember when espn tried to rank Miami Hurricanes #4 to hype up the game vs FSU last year???? that was crazy.
But anyway i dont see how ASU can stop Golston if they gave up 62 points to UCLA on their home turf.Comment -
How many spots did USC drop after that terrible loss?Comment -
ND had trouble with Navy and NC; they also beat Stanford (at home) by only three and Stanford is probably on par with ASU; lean to ASU.Comment -
BecAuse all America is going to do is look at last week at see they beat a ranked Utah team than assume ASU is great.
They are the most overvalued team in the top 25. Remeber their "BIG" game against UCLA on Thursday night in prime time. UCLA steamrolled them. And Notre Dame is 2 touchdowns better than UCLA. Another disaster in the desert here.
Gotta love all these "experts"Comment -
Notre Dame won this game last year with Tommy Rees playing QB.Comment -
Notre Dame just looks too easy here.Comment -
Don't know if I will bet this game but ASU can beat them.ND has done well vs Pac-12 going 5-1 ATS and SU the last 6......But I really don't like ND..so I will prob. pass on this one................glComment -
You don't even know what ASU runs on offense but you talk about how could ND lose this game......... niceComment -
Navy rule.Comment
