Sun Devil Source Report Podcast: Is ASU’s defense for real after Utah win?

Oct 26, 2017, 10:49 AM

The evidence continues to mount. Arizona State’s defense under first-year defensive coordinator Phil Bennett is coming together faster than expected.

Over the last two games, the Sun Devils have held No. 5 Washington and Utah to 17 points combined.

On the Sun Devil Source Report Podcast, Chris Karpman, Zane Hopen and Kaelen Jones cover the hows and whys of the surging ASU defense. A lot of it has to do with putting players in the right positions to be successful. Scheme-wise, it’s been about making things easy on those players.

But can it continue? Are the performances over the last two games sustainable?

Each week, the ‘Sun Devil Source Report’ podcast brings you the latest news, information and analysis of Arizona State football. Hosts Kaelen Jones, Zane Hopen and Chris Karpman of SunDevilSource.com bring you the most informative updates surrounding the Sun Devils.
