I frankly didn't think we would win this game; but when we were up 24-22 and driving near the red zone, I had visions of 2-3 and climbing out of the Pac-12 cellar.  

Then I recalled the UW and Wazzu losses last year and thought: I've seen this movie before.  What if this drive stalls and we only get 3 points to go up 27-22.  OSU then gets the ball with about a minute, drives the length of the field and wins. 

Since it's morning over here, I went to take a shower, came back and, presto, exactly this scenario played out.  

The exact moment we lost the game? Yes, probably getting too conservative in that last series of downs and telegraphing the wildcat.  That was so Shaw-like it hurts.  Another streak comes to an end (Stanford wins vs. OSU at home).

Yep, very much like those two games last year. Both the offense and the defense had a chance to win the game for us in the waning moments and neither could get it done. Now that ASU seems to be getting it together it is hard to see any wins remaining on our schedule.
Another streak that appears to be in real jeopardy is that we haven't lost to UCLA in the Rose Bowl since 2008.
