Season Overview: The Sun Devils began the season behind the chains. Much of their staff was fired after the NCAA found recruiting violations during COVID. Head coach Herman Edwards was also fired during the season. The Devils did show some life under interim head coach Shaun Aguano, but the depleted roster and lack of depth are why they won just three games.
2023 Outlook: Former Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham takes over as head coach, and he’s been aggressive in the portal and on the trail, including signing Notre Dame transfer quarterback Drew Pyne. It will take some time to rebuild the roster, but Dillingham might be the coach that could help Arizona State realize its tremendous potential.
