No. 5 – Try and limit ASU WR N’Keal Harry

Easier said than done! N’Keal Harry is arguably the best receiver in the conference, and one of the best play makers in the country.

So far in 2018, Harry has 69 receptions for 1,033 yards and nine touchdowns, and also has another touchdown rushing.

Any time he steps on the field, he can impact the game in so many ways. He’s big, strong, quick and powerful, all the things you would covet in a receiver. He creates so many mismatches, but regardless Arizona will still have to match-up and play him.

If Arizona is going to come away victorious this weekend, they are going to need to limit Harry or slow him down as much as possible.

Whether that means blanketing him with a corner and safety sitting above, or trying to throw off his timing by jamming him at the line. Whatever it takes, make other players from ASU have to step-up and make the big plays, because we sure know Harry can.
