Arizona State football has never lost to San Diego State, going 10-0-1 with the tie way back in 1951.
Oddly none of those meetings was in the Frank Kush head coaching era although Kush was an ASU assistant under Dan Devine from 1955-57 when the Sun Devils crushed the Aztecs three times by a combined 173-0.
It will be infinitely tougher for ASU on Saturday when the teams play for the first time in a decade. San Diego State is 23-6 since 2015 with ASU 12-14 over that span. Kush, ASU's winningest football coach who died July 22 at age 88, will be honored in a variety of tributes including players wearing a Sunburst logo circa 1975-79 from the latter part of the Kush era on their helmets.
