Pac Mentality Week 3: Quarterback injuries could be problematic in South

For three quarters of the teams in the Pac-12, a quarter of their regular season is in the books. Week 3 answered some questions, no doubt. And a couple of teams in the South may have seen their conference championship hopes dashed by injuries. In Arlington, UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley injured his left arm in […]

Get to know Arizona State quarterback Mike Bercovici

Who would have thought we’d have so much to learn from a 22-year-old and soon to be lawyer? In a day and age where every college kid swears they’re headed to professional sports, Mike Bercovici was only focused on two things: being a Sun Devil student and being a football player. When it doesn’t go […]

Fork Report: Kelly injury dampens ASU’s win, best start since 2007

The game, a win, took a backseat to the news, an injury to Taylor Kelly. The Arizona State Sun Devils starting quarterback suffered a right foot injury late in the third quarter of his team’s 38-24 victory at Colorado.

ASU, Foster top Colorado in Pac-12 opener: By The Numbers

As for as road Pac-12 openers go, they don’t get much easier than the one Arizona State encountered Saturday night in Boulder. Facing a Colorado program that has only four conference wins since joining the Pac-12 back in 2012, the Sun Devils did exactly what they were supposed to do: turn a golden opportunity on […]

ASU coach Todd Graham: Taylor Kelly ‘will be fine’ after injuring right foot

Just three games into their season, the Arizona State Sun Devils might already have a significant injury to contend with. Senior quarterback Taylor Kelly, who threw for 195 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday’s 38-24 victory, landed awkwardly on a four-yard run late in third quarter after being taken down by Colorado defensive lineman Josh […]

14th-ranked ASU Sun Devils open Pac-12 slate vs. Colorado Buffaloes

The Colorado Buffaloes are 4-23 in conference games since joining the Pac-12 in 2011. Furthermore, they’ve never beaten the Arizona State Sun Devils in five meetings on the gridiron. Those are two trends Mike MacIntyre’s team would like to reverse when the 14th-ranked Devils visit Folsom Field in Boulder Saturday. The teams first played back […]

ASU Sun Devils looks to stay humble, hungry against Colorado

TEMPE, Ariz. – Five times Arizona State has played Colorado on the football field. Five times Arizona State has beaten Colorado. In fact, looking at those previous matchups, the Sun Devils have outscored the Buffaloes, 206-61, including a 54-13 route in Tempe last season. One-sided? Absolutely, but don’t tell that to ASU head coach Todd […]

ASU athletic director Ray Anderson critical of NFL leadership in Ray Rice video tape fiasco

Before he was named the vice president of university athletics at Arizona State University last January, Ray Anderson served as the vice president of football operations for the National Football League. Which is to say, he worked very closely with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell is under major scrutiny for the way the league has […]

D.J. Foster, offensive line chemistry paying big dividends for Arizona State

TEMPE, Ariz. — He knows he can’t do it alone, so Arizona State running back D.J. Foster refuses to accept all of the credit. Sure, he’s coming off the best individual performance of his three-year Sun Devil career. Rushing for 216 yards in Saturday’s 58-23 win at New Mexico elevated him to third nationally in […]

After getting exposed in first half, young ASU defense matured

Exposed! Usually that word is a terrible word in sports. It means you’re not good. It means everyone’s opinion of you, including your own, is completely exaggerated. Arizona State was exposed against New Mexico but it wasn’t for any of the reasons the word normally conjures. It was great that ASU was exposed, because it […]

Fork Report: ASU, Foster rely on single-option offense to trump New Mexico

About that New Mexico triple-option offense…. Yeah, Arizona State would like to introduce you to the single-option offense. They call it D.J. Foster. The junior running back rushed for a career-high 216 yards and a touchdown to help the Sun Devils win at New Mexico, 58-23. With the victory, No. 17 ASU improved to 2-0. […]

Week 1 is in the books in the Pac-12. Every team in the conference was in action against a non-conference foe, in really what was a lackluster week of scheduling to be quite honest.
