Down four in the third, the Sun Devils folded like a lawn chair, and the room is still unfolding it.
The emotional rollercoaster
Arizona State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Arizona State went to College Station and came home 20-48, dropping to 1-1 and turning a cheerful opening week into something colder. The turning point arrived late in the third quarter, when the Sun Devils took possession still within striking distance and, as one fan put it, "folded like a fucking lawn chair." Everything after was arithmetic. Another observer noted that ASU "innovating new ways to lose somehow still surprises me," which is its own quiet confession: surprise requires hope, and hope keeps showing up anyway.
