Why ASU is starting spring football practice earlier than ever before

Memory tricks are all the rage in sports these days, and ASU defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales has as sharp a mind as anyone. Watch for proof. Arizona Republic

Is it really spring football practice if it begins — and ends — in February?

Arizona State is about to find out.

The Sun Devils, 7-6 overall and the second-place finisher in the Pac-12 South in 2018, start spring football drills at 9 a.m. on Feb. 5, earlier than ever. The spring game will be held at 7 p.m. on Feb. 28 at Sun Devil Stadium, long before most other colleges have even conducted their first practice.
