SUN DEVIL FOOTBALL

Throughout the week, before traveling to Provo to face No. 8 BYU, Arizona State had questions about preparing for a road matchup against a top-10 team. On Saturday afternoon, the Sun Devils trailed the Cougars 17-3 at halftime, with freshman quarterback Jake Fette making his first career start. Fette struggled in the opening half, managing just 48 passing yards on 9-of-18 attempts, while Arizona State’s offensive line allowed six sacks. “They're so multiple in their pass defe

Unfortunately, that's not how our panelists see this game turning out. David Howman (7-0) I'm excited for the start of the Jake Fette era, but I'm not even remotely optimistic that it'll go well in his first career start. BYU may have lost last week, but it was double overtime on the road on the east coast. I'm not putting a ton of stock into that

The stakes are swung to the opposite side this weekend, with the Sun Devils holding a chance to play spoiler. That task will be monumentally more

The Big 12 sent shockwaves through the college athletics world on Friday when it was announced that Commissioner Brett Yormark will step down from his post no later than the end of January 2027. Yormark joined the Big 12 as its commissioner back in August of 2022, leaving his job as CEO of Jay-Z's Roc Nation just months before the Big 12 lost Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. While many expected the conference to fold and be absorbed by other power conferences, Yormark stabilize

In this week’s Echo From The Buttes top 25, there is a change in the top spot for the fifth straight week. There is also a former No. 1 team climbing 14 spots. 1. Miami (7-0, last week’s rank: 2) For the first time all season, there is a unanimous No. 1. Miami takes the top spot for the first time all year after it demolished Pitt. The Hurricanes face North Carolina this week. 2. Indiana (7-1, last week’s rank: 9) After Miami, there is a gaggle of Big 10 teams starting with I

In a game where Arizona State played three quarterbacks, one might expect a disastrous game for the Sun Devils. That marks a symbol of things going wrong or went wrong for a team with either injuries or bad play. On Saturday, it was both, as sixth-year Mikey Keene went down with an injury and junior Cutter Boley got benched for freshman Jake Fette. The Sun Devils rallied around Fette to a 28-17 win over Kansas State, resulting in a lot of good things. The Good The defense nee

TEMPE, Ariz. – Three different quarterbacks got action in Saturday’s game against Kansas State. Heading into Tuesday’s practice, it was unclear what the quarterback order would be after sixth-year Mikey Keene’s injury and junior Cutter Boley’s benching. Freshman Jake Fette took the majority of first-team reps, with Keene taking some as well. In the only first-team eleven-on-eleven period, Keene was supplementing Fette in the huddle. In the first team offense, wide receiver De

TEMPE- The Arizona State Sun Devils bounced back with a 28-17 win over the Kansas State Wildcats at Mountain America Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The big question heading into Saturday's game was how the Sun Devils would bounce back after a tough showing at Texas Tech last weekend. One takeaway was how the team responded, bringing intensity on both ends of the field as they navigated a rollercoaster season. "I thought we played way better.... At the beginning and end of the

TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona State needed a bounce-back game after getting blown out last week against Texas Tech. The Sun Devils were dominated on every level. Sixth-year quarterback Mikey Keene sparked the offense midway through the game after taking over for junior Cutter Boley. The Sun Devils hoped the spark would turn into fire against Kansas State. At the half, Keene’s spark had caught fire against the Wildcats, but he was helped off late in the half. Arizona State (3-3, 1-2

David Howman (6-0) The Avery Johnson news changes things for me. Kansas State has a lot of flaws along their roster, but the connection between Johnson and head coach Collin Klein has covered up a lot of them. With Mikey Keene at the helm for Arizona State, I think we'll see more offensive cohesion and enough stops on defense to get a win,
