Our last check in on the countdown focused on the longest tenured player in Sun Devil history, Chase Lucas. With 22 days until the season kicks off on August 30th, we turn our focus back to the offense and to a player who IS the bar when it comes to Sun Devil running backs, Woody Green.

Hailing from Jefferson High School in Portland OR, Woody made the trip to the warmer climate of Arizona in 1970 to play under Frank Kush, who's rise to legendary status was just starting. After not playing in his freshman season, he announced his presence with authority early in 1971, rushing for 214 yards in the second game of the season against Utah which was good for the 6th-best single game performance in program history at the time.
