There was a study done by the SEC a few years back that discovered that there was as many 3 stars as 5 stars on the SEC All-Conference team. Fact is, ASU football doesn't have the gigantic pile of NIL cash that a lot of other schools do. Hopefully that will change if ASU has another good year, which is still possible. Texas Tech game is huge. Could be the springboard to getting back to the Big 12 Championship game again. Supposedly a healthy Alford (last year All Big 12 FS) is coming back this week, and he's a game changer for ASU's defense, whose presence fills a huge hole in the back end vs the pass, frees SS Rowser (also on All-Big 12 team) to be Rowser supporting run defense, and allows the coaching staff to be much more aggressive rushing the passer. Now I expect ASU will not be stuck only rushing 4, but will be able to bring more numbers, something they have avoided while he's been out. While his replacement has done well, Alford is special, probably plays on Sundays. Alford only played in the opener, missed Miss St. Doubt seriously if Miss St completes that bomb to win the game if Alford had played..

Thing is, Dilly has a great track record of developing talent as well as selecting it from the Transfer Portal. His get of Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson was HUGE.
