As the 2019 football season approaches we continue our Arizona State position-by-position series.

Today: Secondary

Overview

Last season Arizona State was 71st out of 129 FBS teams in passing yards allowed (233.8 pg) and it was 74th in passing defense efficiency. Much of that can be attributed to growing pains as the Sun Devils had to rely on inexperienced players.

The good news is the experience those players gained last year should be an advantage moving forward.
