Merlin Robertson is back: He was the Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2018 but had a tough sophomore season, although his play did pick up in the last couple of games. With the media unable to watch practices it was tough to gauge where Robertson was he ading into the season although coaches and teammates praised his off-season preparations. That showed on Saturday. A leaner, more fit Robertson had an acrobatic interception in the second quarter and stopped a USC ball call carrier on a fourth and 1 at t he ASU 6, finishing with 10 tackles, the interception and a fumble recovery. - Arizona Republic
