The Sun Devils will have had nine days between their rout of NAU and welcoming the Fighting Illini to Tempe on Saturday. That’s nine days of post-game analysis, practices, speculation, and planning (and a bunch of tweets to lady friends if you’re a certain underutilized member of the team).

September 5, 2012 by
Arizona State beats Northern Arizona 63-6 ASU football’s Thursday debut did not disappoint.
