Las Vegas Bowl 2021 Preview
Wisconsin had won seven in a row before losing in the Big Ten Championship game to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 23-13. The Badgers gained just 62 yards rushing and 3.9 yards per play in the loss, and head coach Paul Chryst knows that won’t be enough against Arizona State.
“When you’re in the red zone, you’ve got to score touchdowns and give yourself more opportunities,” Chryst said about his team’s loss in the Big Ten Championship. “You’ve got to be better on third down. And certainly we didn’t run the ball very effectively, consistently. We missed some opportunities. We’ve got to play better football. We’ve got to play better offensively.”
As they have been for the latter part of the season, the Badgers will be led on offense by running back Braelon Allen, who amassed 1,109 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground while averaging an impressive 7.1 yards per carry this season.
Wisconsin is scoring 25.8 points a game on offense, while allowing 16.4 points a game on a defense that boasts one of the best linebacking corps in the nation.
On the other side, the Sun Devils won three of their last four games, the most recent of which was a 38-15 beatdown of Arizona on November 27.
Arizona State will be without several key players on both sides of the ball after they declared for the NFL draft in this one, however. Running back Rachaad White, cornerbacks Chase Lucas and Jack Jones and offensive lineman Dohnovan West will all miss this game, and linebacker Darien Butler is a question mark, but ASU head coach Herm Edwards says he’s not overly concerned about any changes to the roster.
“We’ve kind of been that way all year,” Edwards said. “We didn’t have the same roster when we left training camp when the season started. Obviously going into this bowl game, it’s now the same roster we had during the season but that’s fine. We’ll play the players we have.”
“It’s happened every year we’ve gone to a bowl — we’ve been missing some players,” Edwards added. “It’s just the way it is, so you don’t worry about it. You just don’t. You allow the guys who have been backing them up to get an opportunity now to play in a bowl game. And they’re excited about playing.”
ASU is led on offense by quarterback Jayden Daniels, who completed 66% of his passes for 2,222 yard, 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions. The Sun Devils averaged 29.7 points a game on offense while surrendering 20.9 points per contest on defense.
