On the latest episode of State of the Sun Devils, an Arizona Sports podcast, Jesse Morrison, Jeremy Schnell and Jake Anderson are joined by Evan Desai of Reign of Troy to preview ASU’s Week 5 matchup at No. 6 USC on Saturday.

The guys then break down how they feel about the changes interim head coach Shaun Aguano has made to the Arizona State football program and what he has to do to become a candidate for the full-time job at the end of the season.

The trio also discusses how Aguano keeping twin brothers Keon and Kejuan Markham away from the team due to a personal issue will affect the secondary.

The Sun Devils will be getting back two corners in Ro Torrence and Ed Woods, though, who have missed the last two and three games, respectively.

However, it appears ASU may be without defensive lineman Omarr Norman-Lott again, as he, defensive lineman B’Ahmad Miller and wide receiver Zeek Freeman are all listed on the team’s injury report.

The trio then debates what the Sun Devils need to do to pull off the upset before giving predictions, including one co-host sticking to his preseason pick of Arizona State winning at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

ASU takes on No. 6 USC on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. MST on 98.7.
