ASU Football: All-time series look vs. Notre Dame
(Photo: ASU Athletics) Perhaps the most illogical way to make a prediction for an upcoming sporting event is to base it off history. Sure, knowing that a team may have another team’s number and recognizing trends may be useful secondary evidence, but basing the entire prediction off events that happened years ago
ASU Football: Utes’ defensive strategy keeps the passing game in check, but can’t stop ASU’s rushing attack
ASU Football: No. 17 Utah presents another tough special teams challenge for Sun Devils
(Photo: Scotty Bara/WCSN) Two weeks ago, the No. 14 Arizona State football team had a special teams unit that was producing at the same rate as the Western Michigan Broncos. Cronkite Sports writer Adam Stites reported it, I am reminding you of it. Fortunately for the Sun Devils, the punt returning unit
ASU Football: Graham rallies the troops in preparation for No. 17 Utah
(Photo: ASU Athletics) Now in his third year as the Arizona State head coach, Todd Graham has become renowned for his ability to relate with players and squeeze out every bit of hidden potential in athletes who were either casted away from other programs or simply overlooked.

Though little has changed with Graham’s rhetoric, the health of Kelly will remain the elephant in the room until he is seen in game action. “I expect Taylor to
ASU Football: Taylor Kelly prepares to take back the starting job
(Photo: Scotty Bara/WCSN) With both bye weeks now in the books, the Arizona State football team realizes the increased importance of each individual practice.
