FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY

1. Matchups help: ASU coach Brian Jenkins, in deciding which quarterback to start each week, uses a tried and true method. “I just put their name in a hat and pull out the name,” Jenkins said. Ellis Richardson started Saturday’s 45-34 home loss to Southern and was 15-of-25 passing for 217 yards and a score. Backup Daniel Duhart was 12-of-14 for 125 yards and three TDs. Quinterrius Toppings, who has started this year, did not play. “I always tell my guys I have three starters and all three should be ready. For all three, my expectation is they should be productive.” How each performs in practice, with that week’s gameplan in mind, helps decide, Jenkins said. “We put them through a series of tests,” Jenkins said. “The guy that comes out on top, that’s the guy we go with.”
