Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:08:11 PDT- Quarterback Rudy Carpenter left on crutches and ASU's placekicker/punter Thomas Weber has a cast on his hand. The egos are just as black and blue.
The Sun Devils are a beaten and battered unit, and that is showing with a three-game losing streak following a 24-14 loss to California.
Carpenter's injury is the most concerning with ASU's offensive leader leaving Memorial Stadium on crutches with an ankle or leg injury. The senior didn't want to say what the problem was until he knew for sure.
ASU usually goes as Carpenter does. The signal caller is the Pac-10's active leader in virtually every meaningful category. He struggled against the Bears, however, completing just 20 of 35 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown.
