Graham believes defense will win Pac-12

The Pac-12 season is still young, but there are just three teams left that are undefeated in conference play.

“I think the reason why is there is so much diversity in the offensive schemes and people’s ability to score points,” Arizona State coach Graham told Arizona Sports 620’s Burns and Gambo Monday. “You have got some really, really good offensive football teams.”

With three teams ranking in the top ten nationally in total offense, it is safe to say that the Pac-12 is an offensive conference.

“I think it is really hard to play good defense in this league because there are so many talented players, so much big play potential, explosive plays and it is just crazy,” Graham said.
