Todd Graham has not lost faith in QB Taylor Kelly

The Sun Devil offense has gone missing.

After a “high-octane” start to the season filled with blowouts and dazzling performances by quarterback Taylor Kelly, ASU’s offense has run out of gas.

Now on a four-game losing streak, the Devils are scrambling to score points and Kelly is starting to feel the heat.

Arizona State head coach Todd Graham was on Arizona Sports 620’s Burns and Gambo Monday and expressed confidence in his sophomore signal caller.

“Our faith in Taylor [Kelly] has not changed,” Graham said. “He is our starter and will be [moving forward].”

Kelly might have earned that faith from his performance early in the year. Through the first six games of the season, he threw 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

But in the last two games, Kelly has completed just 41 for 71 and had two touchdowns with four interceptions. He has also been sacked eight times.
