Graham realizes ASU culture change has effects

Arizona State’s spring football practice schedule is an
interesting one, to say the least.

Three days on, then more than a week off for Spring Break.
Many have raised an eyebrow about said schedule, but first
year head coach Todd Graham has a logical explanation for
it.

“It’s such a drastic change, how we practice and what
we’re doing and what we’re asking from them, especially
from a conditioning and intensity standpoint,” Graham told
Doug and Wolf Monday on Arizona Sports 620. “We wanted to
come in and pretty much stun ’em, and they get an idea of
what it’s about.”

A lot has been made about the new style of practice Graham
runs, with players literally being asked to sprint from
drill to drill, on and off the field. The style has
initiated a sort of “weeding out” process on the ASU
roster.
