Texas A&M vs Arizona State prediction, picks
Texas A&M 34, Arizona State 24: Arizona State could make this one interesting, especially with how good Cutter Boley looked in Week 1 against an inferior opponent. Still, the Aggies' defense is too strong, and the Sun Devils won't quite be able to hang in offensively. — Austin Curtright, USA TODAY Network
Texas A&M 35, Arizona State 25: You can pipe in as much crowd noise as you want; you can't simulate what it's like to play in front of 100,000. It's not just the home crowd. The Aggies are a quality team that will likely be able to exert their will at the line of scrimmage. That will be the difference. — Michelle Gardner, Arizona Republic
Arizona State vs Texas A&M keys to the game
Arizona State battling travel logistics, intense Kyle Field crowd
Arizona State won't return to Tempe after the game, as it's choosing to travel straight to London to prepare for its upcoming game against Kansas at Wembley Stadium. It'll also play the Aggies in front of one of the biggest stadiums in the country, with over 100,000 fans.
ASU coach Kenny Dillingham said those factors will make the game a challenge.
"Our league has a lot of good environments," he said. "We maybe don't get 107 (thousand). There aren't many out there who do. You get 107 out there in the same place; it's going to be loud, and it's going to be rocking, so we have to go and execute."
Texas A&M is 46-4 in nonconference home games since 2010.
"We haven't done anything yet on the road or versus a Top 10 opponent in the country," Dillingham said. "I think our team has confidence that we can go out there and execute, but now we gotta go execute on the road. We gotta be crisp on the road."
Can Texas A&M limit Arizona State's passing attack?
Dillingham has led some high-powered offenses in his career, and Boley poses a threat in the passing game against the Aggies' stout defense. Texas A&M will also have to key in on a pair of talented receivers in Harris and Miller.
Arizona State will have a better attack than Missouri State did a week ago, so we'll find out how good the Aggies' defense is in Week 2.
