The score on Friday night won’t be the most important thing against Sacramento State. Arizona State will most likely walk away with a win, and if they lose, well, there’s bigger problems.
If and when Arizona State moves on to 2-0, they’ll need to see improvement from its offensive line. The unit expected to start the season shuffled because of the absence of projected starting left tackle Zach Robertson. After the musical chairs act most of fall camp, redshirt senior Cade Cote earned the first-team center spot only to break his foot the Sunday before the season opener.
