Less than two weeks ago, Arizona State was preparing for its first game as a ranked team since 2015. Now, the program is looking to avoid a third consecutive loss, one that would likely serve as an early derailing of coach Herm Edwards’ train.
While the early-season results may frustrate some, a 2-2 record appeared to be the consensus expectation through four games, aside from different outcomes against Michigan State and SDSU.
This is the third time in four years that the Sun Devils have split their first four games. However, the 2018 team is far more stable on the defensive side of the ball than those that have proceeded it in recent years.
