ASU and WA went toe to toe and looked as if OT was in the making. Chris McGaha got deep with virually no time left and put the game away for ASU.

Jake Locker 10 6' 2.0" 222 4.50 QB 2011
22/38 1 TD, 2 INT, 3 sacks, 8/34 rushing. A mixed bag with Locker in this game. Does take the ball from a traditional QB/C exchange. Which in this day and age is nice to see. Had several passes batted down, especially screens. Had a nice play fake and rolled to his right and then threw across the grain and hit a wide open WR for a TD. Needs to set his feet when he throws. Has nervous feet at times. Has a nice pump fake to move safeties. On one pass he reset after the pump fake and fired a bullet. Had one pass where he was not hit at all and came forward with the empty hand. Ball just slipped out of his hand. Has great athletic ability and a solid NFL arm. Can make all the throws. When he drops back he has a tendency to drift, i.e. not drop straight back and drop slightly to one side or the other. Seemed to usually be to his left where he would drift. Has a tendency to crow hop on his throws like an outfielder. First INT was on a jump pass in the RZ where he did not see the LB in the middle. Scrambles very well. Last INT was on a Hail Mary. Showed good leadership on a drive at the end of the game to pull WA even. Is trying to go through progressions, locks onto a WR at times but at times reads well. Overall he has incredible potential, but is still very raw. Accuracy is not fantastic. Needs to improve in this area. Has everything a NFL QB needs, but has yet to put it all together. Grade: Neutral
Daniel Teo-Nesheim 66 6' 4.0" 263 4.81 DE 2010
Strange game for Teo-Nesheim. Didn't do much the entire game. Then in back to back plays he sacked the QB and forced a fumble. Had 2 tackles, which were his 2 sacks and the FF. Beats people with desire and hustle and will. A draftable player who if I had to guess would go around rounds 4/5. Grade: Neutral
Ben Ossai 79 6' 5.5" 322 5.35 OT 2010
Big LOT who has ideal size and height. Has really improved his technique since last year. Had a tendency to lunge and bend last year. Seems to have cleaned that up. Didn't give up anything. False start. Not fluid in space and has a bit of an awkward gait. May not have the feet for the LOT position , but starting to look better as a prospect. Grade: Slightly Positive
Mason Foster 40 6' 0.0" 229 4.75 LB 2011
5 solos, 1 assist, 1 FF Also got a roughing the passer penalty. Very quiet except for the FF and really didn't stand out much or get noticed. Grade: Slightly Negative
DAndre Goodman 11 5' 10.0" 175 4.50 WR 2011
Didn't start. Must have lost his starting job. He played though and didn't record a catch. Had a drop. Grade: Negative.
Nate Williams 8 5' 11.0" 207 4.60 S 2011
3 assists, 2 solos, 1 TFL Decent safety who flashed at times. Needs to show a little more, but he still has another year. Grade: Neutral
EJ Savannah 22 6' 0.0" 219 4.70 LB 2010
1 assist, 6 solo. Made a few tackles, but lacked splash plays. Grade: Neutral

Dexter Davis 58 6' 1.0" 252 4.70 DE 2010
1 PBU Dexter played but was MIA except for a batted down pass. Grade: Negative
Thomas Altieri 56 6' 1.0" 300 5.15 C 2010
Chris McGaha 13 6' 0.0" 195 4.55 WR 2010
1/50 1 TD. Was fighting the flu all week and therefore saw limited action. Did make the huge game winning TD with virtually no time for the win. Looked like a blown coverage on WA. However, he did his part and that's not on him. Grade: Positive
Shawn Lauvao 67 6' 2.0" 305 5.20 OT 2010
Locks and rides his man out of range of the QB. Runs well in space and sets the edge. Could do a better job of sinking his hips. Solid prospect. Grade: Positive.
Mike Nixon 25 6' 2.0" 224 4.75 LB 2010
4 solos. Quiet game. I have seen him more active than tonight. Grade: Slightly Negative
Omar Bolden 3 5' 9.5" 195 4.40 CB 2011
DNP
Game Notes: RB Dmitri Nance was 13/72 rushing, 6/41 receiving. Nice jump cutter with good quicks. Has a chance to make it as a 3rd down back. Good wiggle. 5-10 218 pounds. Reminds me of Laurence Maroney. Catches it well. He's a SR and I'm going to put him into the system. I'd feed this kid the ball more if I'm ASU.
