"We want to play fast; we want to play physically. So that's something that we really wanted to harp on, is getting back to our original roots.” ASU is expecting a challenging opponent on Saturday but knows that bouncing back is largely dependent on their own performance

“We worked on getting our identity back. I got to find things that I need to work on and that our team needs to work on." The bye week was used productively by ASU QB Sam Leavitt to evaluate the trends he and the offense exhibited in the first four weeks of 2024

Looks like Colorado has a pretty good team..

Tuesday featured a full padded session as the Sun Devils returned a couple more players to practice after recovering from their respective injuries. Here are our impressions from today's practice

They will be honored at halftime of the Kansas game

Former ASU Basketball coach Herb Sendek used to say “it’s never as good or bad as it seems”

He was referencing the highs of big wins when fans thought the program had broken through and the lows of terrible losses when fans thought his program was irreversibly broken.

Of course Sendek was unable to ever capitalize on momentum for the program but was also never down and out either.

So was he right? Or was it a self fulfilling prophecy?

This is what I’ve been asking myself leading up to the Kansas football game this weekend. One part of me thinks a loss here could snowball Dillingham into an irreversible slide. Another part of me thinks win or lose, it’s just a game in a 3-4 year plan.

In the grand scheme of things, how important is this Kansas game for Dillingham? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

“I didn't feel like our guys played fast enough. So, we got to be able to shrink what we're doing to make sure our guys can play fast." Employing a more economical playbook in order to increase efficiency is a pragmatic solution to the issues in the Texas Tech loss

“They don’t look like a team that’s struggling much. They’re the same team that was predicted to potentially win the league at the start of the season." Kenny Dillingham knows that a 1-4 record inaccurately portrays ASU's upcoming opponent

Wanted to share some information I received about the team, which began its preseason practices earlier this week
