Arizona State football improved its run game seemingly overnight last season, rising from 36 yards rushing in week 3 to 164 in week 4 and 396 in week 5.

The Sun Devils finished No. 50 nationally in 2018 rushing offense, averaging 184 yards, with Eno Benjamin setting school single game and single season rushing records.

Don't expect a similar transformation this season.

ASU had veteran linemen who could excel after the change to a more physical gap blocking scheme when Pac-12 play began last year.
