Get to Know the Opponent: Arizona State

The Spartans head out west to Pac-12 territory after escaping the season opener in East Lansing with a win over Utah State. Arizona State is a school that you have likely seen play only if you are like me and like to stay up for Pac-12 after dark action late into the night on Saturday. They haven’t been in the national spotlight for a while, which is one of the reasons they went out and hired Herm Edwards in the off-season. Here’s what else to know about MSU’s week two opponent…

School: Arizona State University

Nickname: Sun Devils

Conference: Pac-12

Location: Tempe, Arizona

Head Coach: Herman Edwards (1st season)

Record: 1-0 (7-6 in 2017, lost Sun Bowl to NC State)

Mascot: Sparky the Sun Devil

All Time Series: 1-1-0 (Last meeting Arizona State won 20-17 in Tempe)

The Sun Devils kicked off the Herm Edwards era with an easy 49-7 win over UT-San Antonio at home on Saturday.
