A running back, defensive lineman and of course, quarterback Manny Wilkins took the podium after Arizona State’s 41-30 win over Colorado on Saturday night.
They put respect where it was due.
“It’s the offensive line, 110 percent,” Demario Richard said on his 189-yard career high performance.
The Sun Devils had given up six sacks amidst the USC debacle, averaging 3.88 sacks allowed per contest — good for the third worst in the nation. Behind the line of scrimmage, Wilkins had been tackled 30 times in 2017. On Saturday night, not a single time was he taken down for a loss.
