Takeaways from ASU football's latest scrimmage
Arizona State is two weeks away from its regular-season opener. Here are some takeaways from the latest scrimmage.
The Arizona State Sun Devils held a scrimmage on August 22, ahead of their upcoming season opener against Morgan State on September 5. Coach Kenny Dillingham highlighted positive aspects of the practice, including strong drives by the offense and an early interception by the defense.
Dillingham mentioned that the Sun Devils' special teams performed well, with both kickers and punters making successful field goals and punts. The defense was noted for pressuring passers, with several sacks recorded by edge rushers Joshua Shanklin, Emar rion Winston, Roman Pitre, and Tristan Bacon.
Tight ends had difficulties in blocking assignments, allowing defenders to pressure the quarterbacks. Tight end Khamari Anderson was recovering from a broken leg, which may impact their performance. Running backs demonstrated good balance and depth, with players like Jason Brown, Demarius Man Man Robinson, and Cardae Mack showing promise. Sophomore Grayson Rigdon also made a notable 80-yard receiving touchdown.
