(Photo: Marlee Smith/WCSN) TEMPE -- The boos came raining down at halftime, and deservedly so. Arizona State Football’s performance – specifically during the first half – in Saturday’s 34-21 loss to Washington State was not just one of those days.

ASU Football: Sun Devils upset by Utah 35-21, blow 14-point lead
(Photo: Rebecca Striffler/WCSN) Arizona State Football and Utah both came into Saturday night’s matchup undefeated in Pac-12 Conference play.

ASU Football: Sun Devils hope to reverse 2019 result in matchup with Utah
(Photo: Rebecca Striffler/WCSN) It was cold. It was rainy. And it ended in a disappointing 21-3 loss. That's what happened the last time now-No. 18 ranked Arizona State Football (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) played Utah (3-2, 2-0 Pac-12) on Oct. 19, 2019. Then-freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for just 25 yards with an
ASU Football: Hill’s play-calling fuels Sun Devils’ 28-10 win over Stanford
(Photo: Haley Spracale/WCSN) TEMPE -- Since the beginning of Fall Camp, Arizona State Football has focused hard on finding its identity on offense.

ASU Football: Sun Devils improve to 5-1 after 28-10 win over Stanford

ASU Football: Dominant 2nd half defense carries Sun Devils over UNLV
(Photo: Haley Spracale/WCSN) While No. 23 Arizona State Football’s offense showed its complete potential on Saturday night, the defense was quite the opposite early on.

ASU Football: Forget about bowl eligibility, Sun Devils are looking like Pac-12 South favorites
(Photo: Nicholas Badders/WCSN) Changing a narrative is never easy. In college football, it can be near impossible. There was a preconceived notion in Tempe even before this year’s season started about Arizona State: it had coach Todd Graham fighting for his job, quarterback Manny Wilkins having to battle with Blake Barnett for
ASU Football: Sun Devils dominate Utah, point to practice as a catalyst
(Photo: Chaz Frazier/WCSN) SALT LAKE CITY — We’re talking about practice, man. ASU football went on the road and walloped Utah 30-10 on Saturday, turning in its most complete performance of the season. ASU players don’t think it’s a product of personnel or circumstance; they attribute the last two weeks’ performances to
