Coach Herm Edwards wants to transform Arizona State into the type of program that other schools take aim at.
“Eventually, you always want to be in a big game,” he said. “When you become a winning team, and you win a lot, every game is a big game. … It’s not just, ‘You play this school.’ No. They play you. We’re trying to accomplish that. Hopefully, one day we will accomplish that.”
It’s going to be a process, and it won’t be easy in the Pac-12. ASU doesn’t have the tradition of USC. The fan base hasn’t been as engaged as Washington.
