ASU Football is nearing the official announcement of Cutter Boldley as the starting quarterback, while dealing with the devastating season-ending injury to linebacker Cyrus Fisu, who remains a leader for the team.

Key takeaways 6
  • ASU QB Status: Cutter Boldley has taken approximately 99.9% of first-team reps since returning from camp and is widely expected to be named starter by Saturday morning, with Morgan State being the first opponent.
  • Cyrus Fisu Injury Impact: Linebacker Cyrus Fisu is out for the year with a lower body injury sustained in a preseason scrimmage. Despite this, he remains on the leadership council and will contribute as a coach on the sideline.
  • ASU Defensive Depth: With Fisu out, the defense relies on depth including transfer Owen Long (leading tackler in NCAA last year) and Martell Hughes. Head Coach Kenny Dillingham emphasizes that younger players must 'grow up' and take their time now.

  • D-backs Resurgence: The Arizona Diamondbacks have overcome early-season struggles, highlighted by Eduardo Rodriguez's shutout performance and a gritty walk-off win against the Cubs, proving their 'snakes alive' resilience.
  • Paul Goldschmidt Struggles: Paul Goldschmidt is experiencing a difficult period, described as having a 'melt down' and 'bad attitude' on broadcast, raising questions about his future with the team.
