(Photo: ASU Athletics) We are all instructed to never knock a win. But given the ugly and unconvincing nature of Arizona State’s 24-10 win over Washington on Saturday, it may be wise to reconsider that attitude. A combination of poor conditions—howling winds that reached 60 mph and on-and-off rain all evening—and a

(Photo: ASU Athletics) Taylor Kelly did not have his best game on Saturday night. Far from it. In a 24-10 victory over Washington, Kelly struggled to find a rhythm and the offense of the No. 14 Arizona State Sun Devils was unable to ever look like its usual, prolific self. Kelly completed 14-of-25

After completing the upset over No. 11 Oregon the previous night, the Sun Devils looked like a completely different

ASU Football: Devilbacker may not be as dead as originally anticipated

by Jacob Garcia - October 25, 2014

(Photo: ASU Athletics) Last week, many presumed the Devilbacker position to be a lost cause for the Sun Devil football team in 2014.

(Photo: Steve Rodriguez/ASU Athletics) The Arizona State Sun Devils are coming off of a resounding 2-0 victory over USC, and are likely a couple of wins away from sealing a trip to the NCAA tournament. A huge part of the Sun Devils’ success can be attributed to the play of red shirt

ASU Football: Kelly continuing to make strides

by Jacob Garcia - October 23, 2014October 23, 2014

(Photo: Lindsey Nelson/WCSN) It is becoming second nature for head coach Todd Graham to immediately delve into the health status of Taylor Kelly. 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
