Kenny Dillingham clarifies view of how Cutter Boley handled demotion

ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham was short on words about how his quarterback handled being benched. He cleared the air a day later.

Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham initially remained silent when asked about starting quarterback Cutter Boley's response to being benched during a news conference on Oct. 26. This unexpected silence sparked speculation about Boley's feelings regarding the demotion. Boley had started the first six games of the season but was replaced by veteran Mikey Keene at halftime of the game against Texas Tech on Oct.

17. Keene continued the streak by starting against Kansas State on Oct. 24 before getting injured. Boley returned to the field for the first two series in the third quarter of the Kansas State game. Dillingham later clarified his earlier "no comment," stating that Boley has been handling the situation exceptionally well, showing a competitive spirit and celebrating victories with his teammates.
