Sam Leavitt, Sun Devils draw favorable matchup against Northern Arizona defense

The Sun Devils kick off their season Saturday night, hosting FCS Northern Arizona. We already previewed the Lumberjacks offense, which may end up giving Arizona State some trouble, but their defense leaves a bit more to be desired.

Adam Clark is the man in charge of Northern Arizona's defense, entering his second season as the defensive coordinator. He joined head coach Brian Wright last year after spending five seasons coordinating the defense at Angelo State. He also previously served eight years as the head coach for Western New Mexico.

Known to be a bit of a rising star in the FCS coaching world, Clark has built his coaching career on his ability to scheme up pressures out of a variety of different looks.
