The Arizona State Sun Devils (8-4) of the Big12 were 1½-point underdogs to the Duke Blue Devils (8-5) of the ACC. Sun Devil vs. Blue Devil in the Sun Bowl. Uncharacteristically for me this year, I took the underdog in this game.
I lost. As frustrating as a fourth consecutive loss is, it's made even more frustrating because ASU almost won. They took the lead in the fourth and stopped Duke on a turnover by downs on the Sun Devils' 8-yard line with three minutes left. On what should have been ASU's last drive - just run out the clock and end the game - they fumbled the ball back to Duke, and let Duke score a TD and take a three-point lead. On their next drive, which could have tied or even won the game, ASU threw an interception and lost the game when Duke ran out the clock.
I thought I had this one and then it slipped between my fingers.
Two more games in progress. No point in wallowing in this misery.
