While many things are different this year for the Arizona State Sun Devils this season, some characteristics remain the same.
Last year, the Sun Devils pass defense was especially bad. This year, that remains true, conceding 384.3 pass yards per game (8.94 per attempt). Though unlike the 0-3 mark ASU posted against teams employing an Air Raid offensive scheme in 2015 (losses at Washington State, at California, vs. West Virginia), the program is currently 2-0 against such units this year (wins vs. Texas Tech, vs. California).
Despite all of its woes defensively, ASU has a chance to pull off a trifecta of victories against Air Raid teams by defeating the Washington State Cougars on Saturday.
