96 down, only three to go.

Yesterday's turn in our countdown series highlighted Cam Skattebo, a player who fans need little reminder of just how much he reinvigorated the Arizona State football program. Today we step back 30 years to examine another player who had a hand in reviving this program after a down period, the one and only Keith Poole.

The late 80's and early 90's were a rough time for the Sun Devil football program. The high point came in 1986 with the Rose Bowl season, but from 1988-1992 the Devils never finished higher than 5th in the Pac-10, and had been winless against the school from Tucson since 1981.
