Once again, ASU finds itself in a familiar place trying to rebound from a lopsided loss, and this time, the potential bounce-back game is the most emotionally charged contest of the year. How do we review the matchup with Arizona, and what are some of the items already on the to-do list for Arizona State ahead of 2024? I invited my former staff member Cole Topham to discuss those topics and more on this podcast episode.

How should we view a lopsided loss to Utah? Is it ultimately just one of seven losses in a trying 2023 campaign, or is it a true step back a week after the Sun Devils or able to finally notch the first Pac-12 win of the year? To discuss that topic and many more concerning the football program, I am joined by Speak of the Devils Podcast co-host Brad Denny, who offers his perspective on the present and the future of the program.

One can look at ASU’s contests versus Fresno State and USC and think that ultimately they are two of the same in terms of performance since they both ended up in the loss column. Nonetheless, while the loss two weeks ago to the Bulldogs, a shutout defeat no less, did not offer any hope or optimism for the future, the sentiment after the USC game was a much-needed 180° turn.
What can we take away from the Sun Devil's performance last week, how has head coach Kenny Dillingham’s play calling takeover made an impact on the squad, and how do we see Arizona State fairing in their first road test of the year as they travel to Cal?
To address those issues and many more surrounding ASU, I will be joined by Speak of the Devils podcast co-host Brad Denny who has been covering the Sun Devils for over a decade.

Much like the season opener, the Oklahoma State game was a classic tale of two halves, where the Arizona State offense struggled down the stretch and, this time, was shut out in the second half in their first loss of the year. 1987 Rose Bowl MVP and Sun Devil Network Color Analyst Jeff van Raaphorst joins me to examine the 27-15 loss to the Cowboys, discussing what inferences can be gleaned from that contest ahead of a challenging game this weekend versus Fresno State.
