The Devil Walk is the latest installment in Coach Todd Graham's campaign to renew and create new football traditions at Arizona State University.

"We want to create that for our fans and also for our players and develop some tradition," Graham said during an interview Monday with Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 620.

Taking place 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to every game, the Devil Walk will be consist of all of the players walking through Well Fargo Arena and interacting with fans as they make their way to Sun Devil Stadium.

"Our whole deal is to show our appreciation to our students and our fans, and really develop future Sun Devils," Graham said. "Each one of our players is going to have an autographed football that they are going to throw out to a youngster."

Coach talked about his starting QB decision, camp Tontozona, creating new traditions at ASU and his game plan for the NAU Lumberjacks.

Over the past few years, the players have simply walked to the stadium next to the student section line outside. However, this year's event will give fans a chance to beat the heat.

"I like being in the Wells Fargo Arena, obviously it's going to be cool in there," Graham said. "It will be a lot of fun. I invite everyone to come out."

Also unlike recent years, the players will have a dress code when walking to the stadium.

All players and coaches will be wearing matching black blazers with a fork on the pocket.
