Three Things To Know About The Sun Devils Vs. Utah Football
- Utah will be coming into Tempe to take on the Sun Devils fresh off of their first BYE of the season while ASU will have hosted what should be another tough matchup in the Kansas Jayhawks the week before. Last season, the Utes notched their largest margin of victory against Arizona State, 55-3, hosting the Sun Devils at RES.
- Kenny Dillingham will be entering his second season as the head man in charge of ASU football, taking over after a disastrous few seasons under disgraced head coach Herm Edwards. While a big task to turn around the program, Dillingham and his group showed quick improvement in attitude and “want” in year one despite a losing record that should look even better in year two. Helping the cause is the return of running back Cameron Scattebo who effortlessly became a favorite not only for Sun Devil fans, but college football fans in general.
- Utah doesn’t have quite the same history with Arizona State that they do with Arizona, but the Utes and Sun Devils have been matching up since October 7, 1961- a win for Utah, 28-26. Despite some recent successes for the Utes, ASU does lead the series 22-12 with Utah on a four-game win streak.
