The metaphorical “Herm Train” has officially left the station.
In Herm Edwards’ debut as head coach, the Sun Devils cruised to a 49-7 victory over UTSA. The opponents only get tougher from here on out, but the season opener couldn’t have gone much better for ASU.
Running backs will be key going forward
Without Kalen Ballage and Demario Richard, many expected the running game to be a weakness this year. But after the opener, it turns out the running back position could actually be pivotal to the offense.
Eno Benjamin and Isaiah Floyd both showed tremendous speed in the backfield, and perhaps what was most impressive in the opener was each of their abilities to hit the hole at full throttle.
