2. Eno Benjamin bounces back with three 100-yard games

Eno Benjamin has had a quiet start to his junior season which is surprising given the fact that he rushed for over 1,600 yards a year ago. He was a breakout rusher for the Sun Devils and put college football on notice.

Everything has changed, though, as his offensive line has done his no favors and he has looked defeated, at times, in 2019.

That will change in October as he’s coming off his best performance of the season, outside of Week 1 against Kent State, where he rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns against No. 15 Cal on the road. That momentum will carry over in the next three games in October as he’ll piece together three straight 100-yard games.

That might seem like a daunting task against the likes of Washington State and Utah, but there’s a good chance this momentum carries over, especially with the talent he has.

Expect a big month for Benjamin as he gets his mojo back.
