Arizona State coach Herm Edwards turned to video games to fuel competition for Sun Devils

Leave it to Arizona State coach Herm Edwards to come up with a way to keep his team focused and competitive when there was no season on the horizon.

Like everyone else, the Sun Devils had been in a holding pattern since March when the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a stoppage of activities seven sessions into spring practice.

The Pac-12 finally announced a return to play on Thursday with the first games to kick off the Nov. 6 weekend. But it has been a long six months. What better way to keep his players' attention then tapping into what they know best - video games.
