The Arizona State Sun Devils open the 2017 season at home against the New Mexico State University Aggies on Thursday, as both teams look to start off the new year on the right foot. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Mountain Standard Time with coverage on Pac-12 Network.
Both programs are looking to bounce back from disappointing sub .500 seasons in 2016. NMSU hasn’t won more than three games since the 2011 season, a trend which they would like to break this year and a win over a power-five program such as ASU week one would certainly spark such a change.
