ASU practice report for Wednesday: Teaching takeaways

Arizona State on Wednesday practiced for the 15th time.

The Sun Devils open coach Herm Edwards' first season Sept. 1 against Texas San Antonio.

Teaching takeaways

Arizona State has had a few on-field skirmishes this preseason. The reason, at least most of the time: Defensive players slap at the ball a little too long and the offensive player takes exception.

No doubt, that would get old.

But it's by design.

During his time at San Diego State, Danny Gonzales coached a defense that excelled at forcing turnovers. In 2016, the Aztecs ranked fifth nationally in this category.
