The makeup of the Arizona
Slate football learn that will face
Oregon this weekend is similar
to many Sun Devil rosters in the
last five years; they score a lot of
points, but give up even more.

Scoring
has not Ixwm
a problem
for Arizona
State this
season us the
Sun Devils'
offense is
averaging
over 28
points per
game. Led
by junior
quarterback
Jake Plummer and his 127.4 quar
terback rating. Arizona State,
coming off a bye week, has
amassed 2. 7B0 yards — 386.9 fasr
game.
Arizona State head coach
Bruce Snyder's main concern is
the Sun Devil Defense, a unit
that gives up more than 420
yards and 31.5 points per game.
"My thinking is that our team
has plenty of confidence and
will fill some holes on defense.”
he said. "YVe have to play four
quarters of tough, physical foot
ball on our side of the hall to
boat this Oregon team."
Snyder has fewer concerns on
offense as Plummer leads one of
the nation's most impressive
passing attacks into Autzen Sta
dium The (i-foot-2-inch signal
caller is coming off an awesome
performance in a 29-21 victory
over Brigham Young two weeks
ago. in whic h ho threw for 177
yards on 22 of 28 pass attempts
Snyder emphasized that four of
Plummer's pusses were dropped
by Sun Devil receivers, keeping
him from a near flawless outing
Plummer has been in a groove
so far this year, tossing 11 touch
downs despite throwing 7 inter
captions He had a stretch this
season where he threw ho con
secutive passes without a pick
His best output this season came
against No. 2 ranked Nebraska
when he hurled three touch
down passes and 273 yards
'1 was realty impressed with
Plummer." Nebraska head coach
Tom Osborne said "He has an
excellent arm and good mobility
that always will pose problems
for opposing defenses,"
Plummer's primary target this
season has been junior standout
Keith Poole. The 0-foot-2-inch.
1B0 pound burner at wide
receiver is averaging 4.6 recep
tions a game at a 90.2 yard per
game clip. Poole surpassed the
50-catch and 1,000-yard career
receiving marks against BYU
The versatile receiver also has
returned 18 punts for 98 yards
this year. His best performance
this season also came against
Nebraska when ho hauled in six
passes for 200 yards.
Sophomore Isaiah Mustafa
compliments Poole at the other
wide-out spot Mustafa is more
of a long ball threat than Poole,
hut has fewer receptions. Rick
ey Buyer (13 receptions. 154
yards) and Lanzia Jackson (iwo
receptions over 40 yards) round
out the potent Sun Devil passing
contingent.
