From his Arizona State office, coach Todd Graham can hear the sounds of construction. From his desk, he can look out the window and see the early phases of the Sun Devil Stadium face lift.
When it comes to football, Graham is not a patient man, but when it comes to this, he sees the bigger picture. And in his mind, it's as big as you can imagine.
Since his arrival in the winter of 2011, ASU football has improved. The trajectory hasn't been like that of a rocket fired toward the heavens. Instead, Graham moves his hand like an airplane lifting off from nearby Sky Harbor.
