ASU Football: Spring Assessment of the Defense

A week ago, the ASU Football team wrapped up their spring workouts with a practice dedicated to their first opponent, Texas A&M.  Devils in Detail graded the offense last weekend.  Today, on the Anniversary of the death of Pat Tillman, we assess the defense.

Up front on the defensive line, the personnel getting the first team reps are solid, but not stellar.  The defensive tackles (1 and 3 technique) are the big bodies that must “eat up” double teams when defending the run.  There are a handful of returning players with experience in Demetrius Cherry, Mo Latu, Tashon Smallwood and Emanuel Dayries.
