My January 5th appearance on SiriusXM Pac-12 Radio on the Geoff Schwartz and Sean O'Connell show discussing the coaching transition in Tempe and how the Sun Devils are approaching the transfer portal
Episode rundown (36 minutes) If you ask anybody around the ASU football offices these days about the 2022 season, they would probably reply that it's all about looking at the windshield because that disappointing campaign is well in the rearview mirror. Nonetheless, we still want to reflect on what took place these past three months, and this podcast will be devoted to evaluating the season that culminated with a 3-9 mark. And for that task, I invited my staff writers to chime in with their opin...
My guest appearance on the Roc and Manuch Show, detailing the reasons Arizona State decided to hire Kenny Dillingham as their new football head coach and why being an alumnus plays a pivotal role in this personnel decision
Episode rundown (15 minutes) After a disappointing one-point loss to Stanford, ASU was eager to get back on the winning track, and visiting Colorado was exactly what the doctor had ordered. And it's only fitting that this victory by the Sun Devils came on Halloween weekend because their offense in a 42-34 win was unrecognizable. My staff writer Cole Topham was with me at Boulder last weekend and joins me on this episode as well to analyze what we saw from the Sun Devils in this win, and look for...
My interview on Fox Sports 910AM, joining the Roc and Manuch Show, talking about the aspects that can affect the timeline of Arizona State and Ray Anderson parting ways
We knew that at some point in the season, the Arizona State defense would be tasked with carrying the team to victory, but ultimately you do need to have an able and willing party on the other side of the ball to achieve that feat. And those adjectives hardly characterize the Sun Devil offense in a frustrating 15-14 loss to Stanford. Not since the mid-80s has ASU held its opponent out of the end zone and still registered that contest in the loss column. And to no one’s surprise, interim head coa...
An upset victory over No. 21 Washington sent Arizona State into the bye week with positive vibes. Yet, the fact that it was Trenton Bourguet who led the Sun Devils to victory rather than its starting quarterback Emory Jones now puts into serious question who ASU's signal caller should be for the second half of the season. I discuss those topics and others in my guest appearance on FOX Sports 910 AM Roc and Manuch Show.

My interview on Fox Sports 910AM joining the Roc and Manuch Show talking about the change of leadership in the Sun Devil program
Whether it's the NCAA investigation or the mass exodus of players from Tempe that has led to 40 newcomers on this year's roster, the expectation level of the 2022 Arizona State Sun Devils has been extremely low. And as much as players and coaches spent the offseason trying to silence the critics, the start of this campaign has been abysmal. Last weekend, the Sun Devils finished conference play 1-2, with their last contest being an embarrassing loss to Eastern Michigan at home, a game where Arizo...
A 17-point defeat does not usually imply a bag of mixed goods by the team who was on the losing end, but when you examine Arizona State's 34-17 loss to then No. 11 Oklahoma State on the road, surprisingly or not there were some bright spots on both sides of the ball for the Sun Devils. Nonetheless, it was also a Saturday contest that featured plenty of shortcomings for ASU, and to break it all down in the latest episode of the Devils’ Junkie Podcast and look ahead to Arizona State’s upcoming gam...
Episode rundown (21 minutes) Glorified scrimmage. No-win game. Those sayings and many more alike described Arizona States' season opener with Northern Arizona University before the opening kickoff ever took place and were likely still uttered after the Sun Devils throttled the Lumberjacks 40-3. But for an ASU program that entered the 2022 season with some of the lowest expectations surrounding the squad in several years, is there some actual optimism to take away from this dominating victory, or...

Replacing quarterback Jayden Daniels who was a three-year starter for ASU topped the off-season to-do list in Tempe.

Here's my interview with Sirius XM Pac-12 Radio's hosts Guy Haberman and Evan Moore.
Episode rundown (32 minutes) Colleges all across the nation are feeling the adverse effects of the Name, Image, and Likeness, as well as the Transfer Portal, and the ASU program has certainly not been immune to those two elements.
