Arizona Republic reporter Jeff Metcalfe said it best when he led off his story on ASU's 44-32 win over Oregon State by saying that Rudy Carpenter was "channeling Jake Plummer" during the game.
Because the game was not televised ANYWHERE I unfortunately have no video to back up my point, all I have is the firsthand accounts from my buddy Steve who was one of the few fans who happened to make it to the game (I will give the locals one more chance to step up and show up before I rant on them.)
On more than one occasion Steve shot me a text from the game that exclaimed that he just seen the most amazing play ever from Rudy. Sigh. No YouTube highlights, no nothing for rabid Sun Devil fan forced to track the game in Texas. Anyhow, the point is, Rudy is becoming quite the escape artist in the tradition of Jake the Snake. Hopefully he can do it minus all the INTs Jake used to throw.
Despite my not being able to see any of the game, the Devils won thanks to a great defense and clutch plays from Rudy. Don't look now but we're 4-0 and ranked. AND, all games will be televised from this point on.
