That’s a huge loss for them. He is a big time player. If he is out it makes it way easier to scheme for Scattaboo. Now we just have to tackle him…

Hard to pass to set up the run when your best pass catcher is out!
looking at his gamelog stats...
The only two bad games were Texas State an K State. He didn't have dominant numbers vs Cincy but he didn't get the carries. Tech held him in check running the ball but he had monster receiving game.
3 fumbles and only one lost.

From looking through stats, the cliff notes scouting report of ASU is:
Offense
They are really good at not turning it over. Scattebo is a really good back both running and catching. Leavitt is a good QB, but they don't throw it a ton. With Tyson out they should be pretty one dimensional , but Leavitt is good enough to hurt you if you lose coverage.
Defense
A step better than their offense. Second best run defense in the league. Their pass defense is closer to middle of the league. They don't get many sacks. They are good, but not elite at forcing turnovers. The best way to describe them is solid and physical.
Special Teams
They are poor in almost all phases. Kicking has been terrible all year. Punting isn't good. Punt return is the only bright spot.

The snap on that missed 30 yarder was really bad. Because it was so high I’m guessing the snap was late getting down and the that’s why it was pushed right.
Long snapping has been a problem on FGs and XPs all year.
ASU without top WR Tyson for Big 12 title game
Arizona State's leading receiver, Jordyn Tyson, will not play in Saturday's Big 12 championship game and is out indefinitely with an injury suffered in last Saturday's win over Arizona.

Giving Heacock that info seems to be a mistake.
I see that ASU gives up a lot of yards on punt returns, and ISU has been very good at punt returns - we're at opposite ends of the normal distribution. That could be a key area where we steal yards next weekend. ASU is also good at returns, but our defense is quite a bit better. Not great nationally, but we give up a much smaller average return than they do.
Their red zone offense is poor. Ours is average.
In most other respects, our metrics are very similar. Some they're a little better, some we're a little better.
Skatebo isn't any better than other Big 12 backs we've faced this year. He's good, and we'll need to focus on him, but as long as we keep him from breaking any explosive plays I like our chances.

Like the UCF game. That big back for UCF got his yards, but ISU won everything else.
The knob-slobbing of ASU by the national media would make a dub pretty tasty.
Where Skatebo is very good is for yards after contact. Reminds me somewhat of David Montgomery.
What outsiders see are the stats and some recent games that were ugly wins. Compare that to skateboo and ASUs stats.
What's missing is that we played a ton of teams that were heavy on the run and defense. Add in a couple not great weather games. The more I dig into this game the better I feel about it.
Teams generally don't just do what they want to do against Heacocks defense. They have to improvise and get to their 2nd or 3rd options. Kansas was the only exception this year and I'd argue that was mainly due to the injuries on defense.
My biggest concern is team speed. ASU looked FAST against Arizona. A lot of that was Tyson who is out now.
ISU will look faster on indoor turf in a dome.
Looks like Tyson got hurt when Arizona was up 35-7 late in the 3rd quarter. That's tough. I watched some of the first half, and Arizona couldn't stop him.ASU without top WR Tyson for Big 12 title game

Not sure about that. After our last bye week we didn’t get anyone back from injury, Verdon came out with a cast he didn’t have before the bye, and we committed almost more penalties than the previous 7 games combined.
We were also told that Kstate top receiver wasn’t playing.ASU without top WR Tyson for Big 12 title game

And please not the officiating crew we had Saturday. Saturday was the first time that I didn’t feel that crew didn’t care for ISU.
