TEMPE – Observations from warmups before the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats’ game against ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ State at Sun Devil Stadium:
* We have some of the answers we’ve been seeking about ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s injury-ravaged defensive line. DE Justin Belknap (knee) and DT Luca Bruno (concussion) will not play. Both were in jerseys and shorts before the game. Belknap sill has a huge brace on his left leg.
* DT Dereck Boles is going to give it a go. Boles hurt his ankle last week at Oregon and was listed as questionable. He pushed the trainers hard to get him ready and practiced a little bit Thursday.
*ÌýIt appears that Kylan Wilborn will start at defensive end, with DeAndre' Miller at “Stud.†Wilborn has been starting at Stud, which is a hybrid DE-LB position. Finton Connolly and Parker Zellers lined up with the ones at defensive tackle during the “team†portion of warmups.

*ÌýJosh Pollack was booming punts from the back of the end zone past the 50-yard line. His recent struggles in games aren't a physical thing.
*ÌýCornerback Sammy Morrison is not suited up. He was not listed on the injury report but has been in and out of the lineup recently. Malcolm Holland, Tony Wallace and Antonio Parks will be the backup cornerbacks. Wallace will wear No. 20 today.
* Kickoff is slated for 2:40 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks.
