With week one officially behind the Arizona State Sun Devils, head coach Todd Graham took time not only to discuss the current state of the program, but two pillars of its history: Frank Kush and Pat Tillman.
Graham said this week is “special” for him and his team, as they’ll honor former head coach Frank Kush, who passed away in June at the age of 88. ASU will wear the sunburst logo on its helmet this week in Kush’s memory, but his impact on Graham resonates far further than that.
Graham first met Kush in the mid-1990s when the former superintendent of Allen High School, where he coached at the time, took a job in Arizona.
