This game also offers bragging rights for both teams. This will be the only regular season contest between the Pac-12 and SEC.
#16 Arizona State
The Sun Devils proved they had one of the best offenses in the Pac 12 last year. They’ll have a majority of those players back as they get set to try and make their push toward the NCAA Playoff.

The Sun Devils beat USA, Stanford, Utah, and Notre Dame.

He’ll have his main target out wide in DJ Foster who had 125 receptions in the past 2 seasons and ran for over 1000 yards in 2014.
Texas A&M
The Aggies being unranked to kick off the season has to give them a chip on their shoulder. A&M will also have the much bigger fan base screaming come Saturday with the game being played in Texas.
Texas A&M will give the nation a look one of the most threatening offenses along with one of the top Qbs. It was reported that Sophomore Kyle Allen came into camp 25 pounds heavier.
Head Coach Kevin Sumlin said Allen had a phenomenal spring and has become more competitive and a major leader for this Aggies team.
