UGH, What Could Go Wrong -- Did Go Wrong!

This was as ugly as it gets -- as the Irish erased a 31 point deficit -- only to give up 21 points in three minutes late in the game to give ASU a 55 - 31 win.

Here's what went wrong:

• Four interceptions
• 3 fumbles (one on a botched field goal)
• Five total turnovers
• Four of the five turnovers led to 28 points for Arizona State
• MANY, MANY SACKS given up on offense
