The offense struggled on third-downs only converting 6 third-downs on 15 attempts. The defense had similar stats to how their real-life counterparts did last week. They allowed 337 yards of total offense. ASU only rushed for 108 yards on 36 carries, but they did run for three touchdowns in the game. The Sun Devils looked to rely more on the ground game in the simulation as they only completed 11 passes on 19 attempts for 213 yards with one touchdown. State also won the turnover battle as Stone Blanton intercepted one pass for the game's only turnover.

Shapen completed 63 percent of his passes for 302 yards and three touchdowns.

They combined for 118 yards with Booth and Lee each getting over 40 yards. Whittemore had six receptions for 111 yards and 1 touchdown. Akharaiyi caught five passes for 59 yards and Trent Hudson had 69 receiving yards on four receptions. They each had one touchdown too.

Stone Blanton and Khamauri Rogers were the only two Bulldogs who had double digit tackles. Blanton recorded 11 total tackles with one tackle for loss and Rogers recorded 12 tackles with one tackle for loss. Lastly, Kevin Coleman found success in the punt return game in the simulation when he earned 46 yards on four returns.

It remains to be seen if this plays out like this tonight in Tempe, Arizona, but based on what we saw last week, this simulation seems to have an accurate representation of what we saw in week 1.
