Kenny Dillingham and Arizona State were impacted as much as any team in the country by the FAA’s decision to ground the planes on Friday night. However, the Sun Devils made sure they were going to play the game, and ended up beating UCF, 26-13, after arriving in Florida on Saturday morning.
After the game, Dillingham was asked about the entire situation, and he gave an answer for the ages.
“Excuses are like butth—s. Everybody’s got ’em, and they all stink,” Dillingham said. “That’s what tonight would have been, just an excuse.
Freshman quarterback Jake Fette continued his strong play, throwing for 196 yards and rushing for another 128 yards. Running back Cardae Mack, another freshman, rushed for 111 yards and one touchdown.
It has been an up-and-down season for the Sun Devils; they have won three of their last four games. They have two games to end the season, and they are two tough games against Oklahoma State and at Arizona.
That is as tough of an ending as you can have to end the season. However, if Dillingham showed anything on Saturday night, is that he is never going to allow his team to ever try and find an excuse for a result.
