Inside the Sun Devils’ locker room after win vs. Sacramento State

Sep 6, 2013, 3:54 PM | Updated: 4:05 pm

Arizona State Athletics released a video Thursday on its YouTube account of the football team after a convincing 55-0 win at home over Sacramento State.

Coach Todd Graham addressed his team and was already looking forward to the team’s next game against Wisconsin, saying the team should stick to the exact same plan. He touted discipline and ball security. He also praised the team for not committing any critical errors against Sacramento State.

The video also shows the Sun Devils’ ritual of breaking a slab of rock with a sledgehammer (Graham joins in on the action) and a team chant in the locker room.
