In the latest episode of the Sun Devil Source Report Podcast, publisher Chris Karpman and host Rob Werner are joined by staff reporters Jack Harris and Max Madden as they analyze Arizona State's 28-21 loss at San Diego State in the team's first road game of the season. They begin the show discussing the crucial fourth-and-1 play that the ASU offense could not convert before SDSU went on an 11-play, 85-yard drive that ended with a touchdown that tied the game at 14 just before half.

The crew provide a complete breakdown on ASU's offense, including an evaluation of the quarterback play from senior Manny Wilkins, sophomore wideout Frank Darby (who had a career night) and analysis on ASU's lack of a capable running game.

They then analyze how ASU's defense competed, including a breakdown of why the Aztecs were so successful running the ball, most notably through junior running back Juwan Washington who finished the game with 27 carries for 138 yards and a touchdown. They discuss the physicality that SDSU showed and Karpman explains his reasoning for why ASU couldn't match it.

They conclude with their perspectives on what the impact of the loss will be for a team whose schedule only gets tougher as the Sun Devils next game will come up north as they take on No. 10 Washington on Sept. 22.
