Yes, Eno Benjamin is a very, very good running back and will likely be making money playing in the NFL very soon. But at this time and point, the Sun Devils cannot simply rely on the ultra-talented athlete to carry them each and every week.

Benjamin ran for 104 yards, which is a rather pedestrian total for him, but when Arizona State has just 136 yards as a team, well, you do the math on that one.

The junior from Texas remains a threat to take it to the house almost any time from any place on the field, but if opposing defenses have no worry when it comes to the passing game and Jayden Daniels, they will simply load up the box and stop Benjamin.
