Arizona State is guaranteed just one home football game, the fewest since 1919 when the first season after World War I consisted of two away games.
Fewer than 1,000 fans will be in attendance at 55,000-seat Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday to watch ASU's long delayed home opener.
The Sun Devils originally were scheduled to open at home against Northern Arizona on Sept. 3. That was revised in late July because of the coronavirus pandemic with the Pac-12 unveiling a 10-game, all-conference schedule that had ASU opening at Arizona then hosting Stanford in early October.
After that fell through, the entire season was in jeopardy until the Pac-12 CEOs became comfortable enough with COVID testing to approve a seven-game schedule starting Nov.
