That is not simply because of the fact that Bercovici could be better than Kelly, even though it is very true.

Running back D.J. Foster is another superstar in the offense, and he is back, making it even more clear that the Sun Devils will not miss Kelly. Foster helped facilitate strong balance last year with the offense.

The main player they will miss is wide receiver Jaelen Strong, who knew how to always make plays at the right time. But they will have no trouble replacing Kelly with Bercovici, and, in fact, expect to see an improvement at the position.

Who cares about Taylor Kelly’s departure from the Arizona State Sun Devils this past year? Honestly, Mike Bercovici showed himself to be the better quarterback when he filled in for Kelly’s injury anyway. Bercovici was the one who led an epic comeback with a 500-yard five touchdown performance against the USC Trojans.

Kelly never came close to doing something like that, and his departure means absolutely nothing for Todd Graham and Co. The offense should still be high-powered, and Arizona State should still be right in the thick of contention for the Pac-12 South.
