Sun Devil Source Report Podcast: The road ahead after the USC loss

Nov 1, 2017, 1:34 PM

Few would’ve seen Arizona State’s first eight games of the 2017 season going this way.

A 4-4 record might not be surprising considering tempered expectations heading into the year, but it’s how ASU reached that point that is eyebrow-raising.

The Sun Devils lost to San Diego State and Texas Tech. They beat ranked Oregon and Washington teams.

So the 48-17 loss to the No. 21 USC Trojans on Saturday represented a predicted win out of a few, but considering all the promising signs ASU showed with wins over Washington and Utah the two weeks prior, it was a step backward.

Where do the Sun Devils sit heading into the final third of their schedule? The Sun Devil Source Report’s Chris Karpman, Zane Hopen and Kaelen Jones review the problems that appeared in the loss to USC and discuss where coach Todd Graham’s program stands with Colorado, UCLA, Oregon State and Arizona left on the regular season schedule.

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.
