First, let’s apply all the requisite qualifiers to Arizona State football's 2-0 start and 25th ranking nationally.
It’s not even mid-September. Both games were at home. One was against a hyphenated school, Texas-San Antonio, that started playing football in 2011. And the other came against a Big Ten team, Michigan State, that learned firsthand why Valley resorts offer steep discounts this time of year.
It's hot.
So the Sun Devils and their fans should control expectations by taking the maximum daily adult dosage of sensibility.
That said, how the Sun Devils won their first two games suggests they could surprise nearly everyone but themselves this season.
