Locked On Sun Devils Hit - Quick Takes on Arizona State Sun Devils Football & Basketball

Cronkite News Just Put Kenny Dillingham Behind Herm Edwards

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cronkite News put Kenny Dillingham’s first 45 games at Arizona State behind Herm Edwards: 25-20 against 26-19. Dillingham has the 2024 Big 12 title Edwards never matched, and a win over Kansas State only brings him level with Edwards’ 26-20 finish. Then Randy Bennett and Jakyi Miles, a four-star ranked 27th nationally in the 2028 class who is expected to reclass to 2027, with Rivals’ model at 93.6 percent for Arizona State.

Kansas State Walks Into An Arizona State Blackout In Broad Daylight

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 16:42:32 +0000

Kansas State walks into an Arizona State blackout at 12:45 in the afternoon, with sun and 77 degrees in the forecast. Holding the ball, running at a run defense ranked 96th and converting third downs decide it. Then Avery Johnson, still questionable for Kansas State, and why a backup quarterback barely helps ASU against Kansas State’s run game.

Kansas State's 3rd Downs are ASU's Biggest Problem Saturday

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 01:00:00 +0000

ESPN ranks Kansas State second in FBS on third down, and that is a problem for an Arizona State defense that loses before third down ever comes. Texas Tech scored 53 on ASU while converting four of 11 third downs, and Kansas State converts 59.3 percent. Then Kansas State’s tight end change: freshman offensive tackle Oliver Miller plays there with Garrett Oakley probably out, and that makes the offense easier to read.

Arizona State Has A Turnover Problem Kansas State Can’t Exploit

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 19:39:00 +0000

Arizona State has a turnover problem, and Kansas State is not built to exploit it. ASU is 3-0 when it turns the ball over once or less and 0-3 when it turns it over twice or more, and Kansas State has forced four turnovers in six games. Then the case for running at a Kansas State defense that ranks third in FBS against the pass and 96th against the run.

Kenny Dillingham Just Refused to Tell Kansas State Who Starts at QB

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Kenny Dillingham refused to name Arizona State’s starting quarterback for Kansas State, and keeping it secret is the right call. With no injury to report, Kansas State has to prepare for both Mikey Keene and Cutter Boley. Then the fourth-and-one ASU could not stop and the pick-six that sank it at Texas Tech, and the 21 points that followed.

Vegas Still Doesn't Trust Arizona State Against Kansas State

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 17:10:21 +0000

Vegas made Arizona State a 3.5-point home underdog to Kansas State, and Kansas State has lost the game after Kansas three years running. Arizona State won 24-14 the last time these teams met, and Kansas State lost its only 2026 road game at Cincinnati. Then Avery Johnson, Joe Jackson and a 359-yard Kansas State run game meet an Arizona State run defense that gave up 244 to Baylor and 260 to Texas Tech.

Arizona State Just Did Something It Hasn’t Done Since 1998

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:17:44 +0000

Arizona State gave up 50 or more points in back-to-back conference games for the first time since 1998, and that defense, not the quarterback, is what is sinking the season. Baylor and Texas Tech scored 108 points and gained 1,066 yards, and Kenny Dillingham said his team could not tackle. Then why starting freshman Jake Fette at 3-3, with six games left, would be the wrong call.

Mikey Keene Just Gave Kenny Dillingham No Choice Against Kansas State

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 16:56:50 +0000

Mikey Keene threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns with zero turnovers in one half at Texas Tech, and Kenny Dillingham should start him against Kansas State. Cutter Boley threw two interceptions before halftime, one returned for a touchdown, and Dillingham wants to watch the tape before he names a starter. Then Derek Eusebio, who played nine snaps all season before Lubbock and finished with a team-high 89 receiving yards.

Arizona State’s Third-Down Offense Is a Real Problem in Lubbock

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arizona State is 19 of 64 on third down this season, and that problem, more than the defense, decides whether the Sun Devils can win at Texas Tech. ASU went 3 of 10 against Hawai’i and is 7 of 29 away from Tempe, while Texas Tech’s opponents convert 39% on third down. Then freshman Julian Hugo, whose two sacks against Hawai’i tied the team lead, and why I want him rushing Will Hammond.

Houston Ran on Texas Tech, and Arizona State Has Cardae Mack

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 18:11:52 +0000

Houston is the only team that ran on Texas Tech this season, 175 yards on 37 carries, and it lost 28-26, so Arizona State should hand Cardae Mack the ball in Lubbock. Mack ran for 154 yards on 13 carries against Hawai’i, and I want 15 carries for him against a defense that allows 91.4 rushing yards a game. Then the uniform: the white Sparky helmet, white jerseys and maroon pants are back, and I think it’s ASU’s best road look.

Texas Tech Says Arizona State Outcoached Them And It Still Matters

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire says Arizona State outcoached his team last year, and that compliment should worry Sun Devil fans. The players who won that 26-22 game are gone, but play-caller Marcus Arroyo is back on the call sheet, and McGuire says he challenged his coaches over it. Then ASU hockey, where Dave Hakstol will technically be interim, but I think ASU is hiring its next coach.

Arizona State In Dangerous Spot Against Texas Tech’s Ball Hawks

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Texas Tech’s defense has racked up seven turnovers in just two games, putting Arizona State’s struggling offense under the spotlight ahead of a crucial Big 12 showdown in Lubbock. Can Cutter Boley protect the ball against a top-10 team with a relentless knack for forcing mistakes, or will turnovers decide the Sun Devils’ fate once again? With Cardi Mack ready for a breakout game and the offensive line regaining key players like Tana Alo-Tupuola and Wade Helton, Arizona State seeks to stabilize its attack at the perfect moment.

On the defensive side, the Sun Devils make noise by shuffling their secondary in hopes of capitalizing on Will Hammond’s tendency to turn the ball over. Fresh faces like Caleb Chester and Daquwan Dunn get their shot, with the coaching staff signaling that jobs are truly up for grabs. As Arizona State chases a pivotal conference win, will these adjustments be enough to upset the undefeated Red Raiders?

Arizona State vs Hawaii Comes Down to Holding Hawaii Under 20

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 8 Oct 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Hawaii is 1-22 under Timmy Chang when it scores 20 points or fewer, and that is the only bar Arizona State’s defense has to clear Saturday after giving up 55 to Baylor. Hawaii outgained San Jose State by 111 yards and still lost 20-16, so takeaways and the red zone matter more than yards. Then ASU hockey, where the interim head coach ASU names before Friday’s opener should come from outside Greg Powers’ staff.

Kenny Dillingham Gives Up Play-Calling to Fix ASU’s Defense

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 Oct 2026 17:31:04 +0000

Kenny Dillingham gave Arizona State’s play-calling back to Marcus Arroyo at Tuesday’s practice and spent that practice with the defense that gave up 564 yards to Baylor. I think the switch is a defense move first, because he said he had been leaning on one side of the ball. Arroyo says nothing changes, and I disagree: his fourth-and-1 deep shot in the 2024 Big 12 title game is what Cutter Boley needs from him.

Baylor Exposed a Coaching Problem in Arizona State’s Defense

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 Oct 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Baylor scored 55 on Arizona State, and Kenny Dillingham counted ten to eleven busts with receivers wide open. I think a bust on a look you haven’t seen is a coaching problem, and he said it’s his fault. Then Hawai’i: it runs for 86 yards a game, so a win Saturday grades the pass defense, not the run defense Baylor hit for 244.

Kenny Dillingham Puts All the Pressure on Himself After Baylor

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Kenny Dillingham said Monday that he chose a job he can’t get fired from, because he wants to live here for the rest of his life. I think that line puts the pressure on him, and the small fixes he promised start against Hawai’i. He also told Arizona State to dwell on its 55-19 loss to Baylor, and the 2025 rebound from Utah to Texas Tech is my case that he’s right.

Arizona State Found Something in Cardae Mack

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 Oct 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Arizona State lost by 36 to Baylor, and two things still worked. Cardae Mack had 72 yards on seven touches, 10.3 a touch, and I think he needs the ball more, starting inside the 20. ASU also had one penalty for 15 yards, its fewest of the season, after nine at Texas A&M.

Arizona State’s Real Baylor Problems Start Before Cutter Boley

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 5 Oct 2026 17:06:14 +0000

Arizona State lost 55-19 to Baylor, and Cutter Boley ranks seventh on my list of reasons. Baylor led 21-3 before Boley turned the ball over once, and his one interception came at 31-13. Then the Big 12 race: five teams have no conference loss, and Arizona State’s title path runs through Texas Tech in Lubbock and BYU in Provo.

Arizona State Keeps Losing The Second Half, And It’s Not Close

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 4 Oct 2026 18:32:52 +0000

Arizona State Sun Devils are reeling from second-half collapses, getting outgained by 265 yards after halftime against Power Four competition like Texas A&M, Kansas, and Baylor. Despite historically strong adjustments, the Sun Devils now face mounting questions: Are the coaches missing crucial fixes, or is something fundamentally broken in the locker room? Kenny Dillingham’s play-calling and Marcus Arroyo’s future are front and center as the team searches for answers.

Red zone inefficiency continues to haunt Arizona State, with Carson Smith’s field goals masking deeper offensive woes. Key players like Cutter Boley and Omarion Miller have missed critical opportunities, and despite improvements in the running game, a short-yardage identity remains elusive. With tough matchups against Texas A&M and Texas Tech looming, can Arizona State solve these glaring weaknesses and reverse their troubling trends?

Arizona State Needs Three Things To Beat Baylor

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 3 Oct 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Arizona State needs three things to beat Baylor without the 100-yard return and three takeaways it needed against Kansas: a clean pocket for Cutter Boley, shots for Reed Harris and a draw in the punt game. I think those three replace London's breaks. Then the Maroon Monsoon is back for the first home game since September 5, and I think the rerun of last year's Texas State look is the right call.

Arizona State Is Recruiting Baylor’s Backyard Against Baylor

Arizona State brings eight 2027 commits and Baylor's own backyard to Saturday's game, from Waco Midway tight end Sloan Blackwell to a 2028 tight end whose brother plays for Baylor. I think a home win closes the Texas2Tempe pitch on the field. Then ASU hockey coach Greg Powers on paid leave, two days after seven players wrote to Michael Crow, and the independent investigation their letter also asked for.

Baylor’s Defense Takes Away The Number Arizona State Needs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 Oct 2026 17:20:55 +0000

Baylor has held all four opponents under 20 points this season, and Kenny Dillingham's Arizona State is 1-9 when it scores under 20, per ASU's game notes. I think ASU's 8-for-8 red zone gets it to 20 first. Then Reed Harris joined Baylor's Corey Coleman on a Big 12 list of three, and I think his 189 yards at Texas A&M prove the start is real.

Arizona State Hockey Players Say Matthew Mayich Never Got Water

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arizona State’s hockey program faces its biggest crisis yet as seven players allege the university lied about the events that left Matthew Mayich hospitalized. With claims of ignored heat illness protocols, missing cold tanks, and a lack of basic water breaks, questions swirl about responsibility and athlete safety at ASU. Did the athletic department try to cover up institutional failures while a player’s future hangs in the balance?

The internal review’s no-fault conclusion clashes with a damning 26-page anonymous player letter, putting coaches and leadership—including Graham Rossini and Greg Powers—under fire. As pressure mounts for accountability, the Sun Devils’ reputation and the future of their hockey team may depend on whether real change or further controversy results from this breaking scandal.

ASU LIED To Everyone - And Heads Need to Roll

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Turmoil shakes the Arizona State hockey program as questions swirl about the internal handling of Matthew Maych’s collapse during a grueling August conditioning session. Heated allegations claim ASU failed to follow its own heat policy, ignored critical safety protocols, and conducted a flawed internal review while coaches were present, creating pressure on players’ testimonies. As the narrative unravels, the program faces growing calls for a true third-party investigation and mounting scrutiny from both players and state officials.

Is Graham Rossini’s leadership on the line after this controversy, with the state’s own attorney demanding more thorough accountability? With the hockey season’s first game looming and a severely injured player still hospitalized, will Greg Powers and the coaching staff face immediate removal? As timelines tighten and trust erodes, ASU hockey’s future hangs in the balance.

Why ASU’s Pass Defense Must Fear DJ Lagway

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 22:00:00 +0000

DJ Lagway may have limited mobility, but his precision throwing seam routes could challenge Arizona State’s strong pass defense. Can the Sun Devils’ secondary maintain their impressive 161 passing yards allowed per game, or will Lagway’s big arm break through? Kenny Dillingham’s comments raise the stakes, emphasizing Baylor’s explosive passing capability, despite a middling completion percentage and questions about Lagway’s willingness— or ability— to run.

Baylor enters Mountain America Stadium just inches from being an undefeated, possibly ranked team, proving they’re more dangerous than their record suggests. With a disruptive defensive line, a gritty slot receiver channeling Cam Scattebo-like energy, and the potential return of their top wideout, this matchup is primed to be a defensive battle. Will Arizona State capitalize on the Bears’ inconsistencies, or does Baylor have all the pieces for a statement win in the Big 12 race?

Is Arizona State Truly Ready for the Big 12 Test?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Kenny Dillingham says Baylor stoned Arizona State's offense for most of last year's 27-24 win in Waco, and he says Baylor's front got the offseason emphasis. I think that makes last year's win a warning, and Cutter Boley has to get the ball out quick on October 3. Then Dillingham, the self-described go-for-it guy, asked how you don't take Nick McLarty's punts inside the five, and I think the punt is the aggressive play for this offense.

Arizona State Has To Win The Field Position Battle Against Baylor

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Baylor punter Palmer Williams averaged 50.4 yards on seven punts against Colorado, and Arizona State’s offense gained 228 yards in London. Arizona State beat Kansas on three takeaways and a kick return, so against Baylor the offense has to drive the long fields Williams leaves it. Baylor had 13 tackles for loss against Colorado, and with Wade Helton likely out, right guard is where Baylor’s front attacks Arizona State.

DJ Lagway came back for Baylor against Colorado and stayed in the pocket, and Arizona State’s defensive line should love that. Lagway went 19 of 39, and Arizona State already has four different defensive linemen with sacks this season. C.J. Fite has been at Arizona State since 2023 and could have declared for the NFL Draft, and his family’s story is Kenny Dillingham’s best recruiting pitch.

This Needs to Change

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cutter Boley’s split performances are raising questions about Arizona State’s play-calling and second-half strategy, with a stark drop from a 66.7% completion rate and 7 touchdowns in opening halves to diminished numbers after halftime. Is the Sun Devils’ coaching staff squandering leads by playing it safe, or can they recapture the aggressive adjustments that defined recent seasons against teams like Texas and Mississippi State?

With Khamari Anderson sidelined, the spotlight shifts to tight end AJ Ia to boost both blocking and receiving roles, supplementing a battered offensive line and giving Boley more passing options downfield. Will the emergence of Anthony Miller and the reliability of James Giggey help revitalize the Sun Devils’ offense, or does Arizona State risk falling into predictable second-half slumps? All eyes turn to next week’s performance and whether adjustments can spark a turnaround.

This Surprising Stat Changes Everything About AJ Ia's Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Arizona State’s tight ends flipped the narrative against Kansas—AJ Ia and James Giggey emerged as the Sun Devils’ top run blockers, challenging previous doubts about the unit’s effectiveness. Despite being down to a third-string right guard and facing relentless pressure from the Jayhawks’ defensive line, the tight ends held strong, proving the team’s rushing woes aren’t their fault. Khamari Anderson’s early exit stung, but Ia’s determination and improved blocking give ASU hope as the season progresses.

Can Baylor find a way to slow down Reed Harris, one of the nation’s top wide receivers? After Kansas held Harris to a modest 48 yards, the focus shifts to disrupting quarterback Cutter Boley’s rhythm rather than Harris himself. With the Sun Devils’ tackles struggling, Baylor might smell opportunity, but triple coverage on Harris opens the door for Omarion Miller and varied personnel sets. Is stopping Harris even possible, or is he destined to break defenses week after week?

Noah Fifita broke Nick Foles’s Arizona passing record against Northern Illinois, and one Big 12 power ranking has Arizona four spots ahead of Arizona State. Arizona State’s offense has shown too little to argue with that in September, and the Territorial Cup on November 28 settles it. Baylor also expects DJ Lagway back against Colorado on Saturday, one week before Baylor visits Arizona State.

PFF Is Underrating ASU’s Owen Long

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 17:51:26 +0000

Arizona State’s Owen Long just claimed the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week, joining legends like Terrell Suggs while powering the Sun Devils to a gritty 24-17 win over Kansas. With 12 tackles and a game-changing forced fumble, Long’s intelligence and game sense set him apart—and has the national spotlight waking up to his All-American pedigree.

ASU Won With Just 228 Yards — Kenny Dillingham Doesn’t Care

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arizona State eked out a rare win despite producing less than 250 yards of total offense for the first time since 2019, sparking serious questions about the Sun Devils’ offensive rhythm and depth. With Kyson Brown struggling to match the explosiveness of past running backs and wideouts like Vines Bright going untargeted, Kenny Dillingham faces mounting pressure to revitalize the attack before the next stretch of Big 12 play.

As the team heads into a crucial and unconventional bye week, mounting injuries and back-to-back road games have disrupted routines and limited chances to correct deep-seated issues—penalties, limited player involvement, and O-line woes linger. Can Arizona State fix its penalty problem or get its explosive weapons like Jaren Hamilton and David Avit more involved before a looming matchup with Texas Tech? The answers could define the Sun Devils’ season.

Kenny Dillingham Takes the Blame for Omarrion Miller

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 15:21:47 +0000

Arizona State wide receiver Omarion Miller has just 47 receiving yards against Power Four opponents—will head coach Kenny Dillingham finally unleash his explosive playmaking ability? As Miller continues to be used as a run replacement instead of capitalizing on his strengths, questions swirl about how the Sun Devils can better utilize top talents like Miller, Rayden Vines-Bright, and Reed Harris, who still ranks among the top five in receiving yards nationally.

Kenny Dillingham embraces the buzz from the London trip despite its potential drawbacks for ASU’s schedule and performance, citing donor enthusiasm and unique team-building experiences as invaluable for the program’s future. Can Arizona State balance international exposure, player fatigue, and the crucial need to maximize NIL funding as the Big 12 championship race heats up?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 17:35:10 +0000

Arizona State converts one third down in four against real opponents, and the bye week is the only clean window to fix it. Against Texas A&M and Kansas the Sun Devils converted 7 of 29 third downs, with 16 penalties in those two games. Khamari Anderson is out for the season, and AJ Ia gives Arizona State a different kind of tight end, so the job should change with him.

The Sun Devils’ Offense Looks Broken—Should We Panic?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Arizona State beat Kansas 24–17 at Wembley Stadium and walked away with more questions about the offense than answers. Cutter Boley threw for 95 yards a week after leading the Big 12 in passing yards and touchdowns, and Kenny Dillingham said the offense played significantly better in the Texas A&M loss. Then tight end Khamari Anderson left in the first quarter, and Arizona State lost the blocker holding its run game together.

Will the Arizona State Sun Devils FALTER Without Wade Helton Against Kansas?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arizona State lost starting right guard Wade Helton for a few weeks and the offensive line barely changes, because Rob Lapuaho has already played more snaps at that spot than the starter he is replacing. Helton is out with a lower leg injury from the Texas A&M game and Lapuaho has 82 right-guard snaps this season to Helton’s 49, which makes the depth behind them the real cost. Grayson Rigdon, meanwhile, has two catches all season for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and every one of those yards came in the opener.

Arizona State Is Going to FEAST on Isaiah Marshall

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Kansas is handing Arizona State the most turnover-prone quarterback the Sun Devils will see all season, and this defense has taken the ball away exactly once in two games. Isaiah Marshall makes the third start of his career at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, five days after he fumbled three times and threw two interceptions against Missouri. Kansas also won the argument about rest and gave away the bigger advantage, because Lance Leipold landed his team in London on Wednesday and then cited the one travel precedent that argues against doing it that way.

Vegas Still Doesn't Trust Arizona State

Arizona State sits seventh in the Big 12 power rankings and Kansas sits thirteenth, and the betting line still makes the Sun Devils only a five-and-a-half-point favorite at Wembley Stadium. Six spots of separation should cost more than five and a half points, which means the market is pricing Arizona State’s floor instead of its roster. Kenny Dillingham flew to London, did not sleep for the first 36 hours, and says he does not plan to leave the team hotel all week.

Kansas Has One Massive Problem: Reed Harris

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Reed Harris draws one of the worst pass defenses in the Power Four when Arizona State plays Kansas at Wembley Stadium, and only the Sun Devils' own play-calling can waste it. Harris is PFF's second-highest graded receiver through two games, with 326 yards and four touchdowns, while Kansas grades sixth-worst in Power Four coverage. Plus, Kansas coach Lance Leipold says Arizona State outplayed Texas A&M in a lot of areas, and both 1-1 teams lost the second half last week.

Skipping Tempe Gives Arizona State an Edge in London

Arizona State skipped the trip home after a 48-20 loss at Texas A&M and flew from Dallas straight to London, and that was the right call before Kansas at Wembley Stadium. Reed Harris named the only risk to a full week abroad, "This ain't no vacation," while Kansas leaves home three days before kickoff. Plus, Lyrik Rawls started all 12 games for Kansas in 2025, intercepted Marcel Reed at Texas A&M, and now faces the Jayhawks in London.

Texas A&M Took Reed Harris Away and Arizona State Never Adjusted

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arizona State outgains Texas A&M by 114 yards, yet falls by 28 points—can the Sun Devils turn yardage into wins as Big 12 play looms? Philip Mulford spotlights Cutter Boley’s emerging status at quarterback, Reed Harris’s explosive potential, and the critical mistakes that plagued ASU against a stout Aggies defense.

Discussion zeroes in on turnover woes, overreliance on screen plays—especially to Omarion Miller—and the need for more dynamic play-calling from Kenny Dillingham. As Arizona State preps to face Kansas, Mulford questions whether the passing attack can capitalize against a weaker secondary and if the offense can finally unleash its full scoring firepower. Is a breakout performance on the horizon, or will play-calling missteps continue to hold the Sun Devils back?

The Fake Punt Didn't Lose Arizona State The Game

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 16:46:11 +0000

Arizona State Sun Devils outgain Texas A&M Aggies but fall short after five costly turnovers. Can Kenny Dillingham adjust to get the best out of star receiver Reed Harris and end the turnover woes?

The conversation focused on ASU’s 114-yard advantage and dominant first-half performance by Reed Harris, who racked up nearly 100 yards on nine targets against Texas A&M’s elite defense. A key theme that emerged was the stark impact of turnovers—including two pick-sixes and a failed fake punt—that overshadowed Cutter Boley’s efforts. The discussion explored Dillingham’s play calling, Harris’s reduced involvement in the second half, and adjustments from Mike Elko’s top-five Aggies defense. Several points were raised, including the need to unlock Arizona State’s offense as they prepare to face the Kansas Jayhawks, where Harris and Marion Miller could be key to turning the tide. Will the Sun Devils’ talent finally be maximized?

Arizona State Sun Devils dominate Morgan State with a 63-point blowout, but questions loom as the defense fails to record a single takeaway. Can a unit that thrived on turnovers in practice—featuring standouts like Jessiah McGrew and Montana Warren—turn up the pressure when it matters most? Philip Mulford highlights the paradox of a commanding victory overshadowed by missed defensive opportunities.

Despite allowing minimal yardage and notching only two sacks from Clayton Smith and Albert Smith, the Sun Devils’ pass rush kept Morgan State’s quarterbacks under consistent duress.
