Certain things guarantee attention in college football: national TV, a top-five opponent, a headline-making head coach.
Look for all that and more in Tempe on Saturday night when Arizona State welcomes No. 4 Washington to Sun Devil Stadium.
The problem is, there’s good attention and bad attention, and I’m afraid this is going to be the latter for ASU — unless Coach Todd Graham with his “I’ll fight you” attitude and the program’s secret weapon, offensive coordinator Billy Napier, can find a way to exploit the underdog’s ultimate advantage: They might not know karate, but they damn sure know crazy.
