First and foremost, I’m a fan of ASU football. I want to see this program succeed. I’m rooting for Shaun Aguano and his staff that he’s inherited.
But there’s no denying it: The Sun Devil Football program is years away from any sort of national relevance right now. No real prominent fixture to represent the program, looming NCAA sanctions, and uncertainty in what conference they’ll be playing in all put a big red “caution” sign over the team.
All of these issues were bottled up and put into spectacle this past Saturday against the rival (and very good) Utah Utes.
