In his third season at Arizona State, football coach Herm Edwards wanted more from his offense, resulting in a coordinator change.
Zak Hill, at Boise State from 2016-19, was Edwards' choice to replace Rob Likens, now wide receivers coach at Miami.
The early returns on Hill begin coming in Saturday when ASU opens a pandemic-delayed season at No. 20 USC. With a sample size of only seven games — eight if ASU plays in a bowl — each will carry extra weight in evaluating whether Hill can elevate the offense to a higher level, allowing the Sun Devils to have fewer coin-toss outcomes than in 2018 and '19.
