Struggling Nebraska fired its coach last week before a matchup against a powerhouse opponent, and how did that work out? (Not well: Oklahoma 49, Cornhuskers 14). Arizona State took the same tack Sunday, dumping Herm Edwards with a matchup against the No. 13-ranked team looming. As with the Huskers, it’s a big ask for an interim. The Utes wield a balanced offense, and the loss of injured RB Chris Curry is mitigated by depth at the position. Utah enjoyed a virtual walkover last Saturday so it was essentially afford an extra week to game-plan for the Sun Devils.
