ASU Football: New-look Sun Devil secondary is ready to go

The ASU secondary lost three starters and has a new position coach, but the unit is excited and ready to start the 2016 season.

Arizona State is tasked with replacing three starters in the secondary.

But that might not be the worst thing.

Last season, ASU’s secondary was one of the worst in the FBS. It gave up 24 plays of over 40 yards (last in the FBS), and allowed a Pac-12-worst 337.5 passing yards per game.

It was an odd conundrum considering the personnel involved. Lloyd Carrington, Kweishi Brown and Jordan Simone came into their senior seasons respected and trusted on the back end, but for a multitude of reasons, it didn’t translate to a stalwart pass defense last season.
