Interim head coach Shaun Aguano’s welcoming party at Sun Devil football was emphatically spoiled on Saturday, as veteran coach Kyle Whittingham and Utah (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) rolled into Tempe and dominated Arizona State (1-3, 0-1) by a score of 34-13.
In one of the most turbulent weeks in the recent history of the program, a dramatic coaching change overshadowed the usual main event of the week. The “parting of ways” with former head coach Herm Edwards, and the subsequent promotion of running backs coach Shaun Aguano to interim head coach on Sunday, came before Arizona State’s matchup with their toughest opponent yet.
