Summary
Arizona State football, despite last year’s solid 8-5 record, is staring down a tougher road this season as beat writers predict a seventh-place finish in the Big 12. The biggest blow? The departure of starting QB Sam Leavitt to LSU, replaced by Cutter Boley from Kentucky. A brutal early schedule—starting with road games at Texas A&M and Kansas, followed by nine straight games without a bye, including tough matchups against Texas Tech and BYU—only adds to the pressure. The team is also rebuilding key positions on offense, relying on a top-15 nationally ranked transfer class to fill the voids, especially at receiver and running back. But head coach and staff are doubling down on mental toughness and resilience, bolstering the offensive line to create a more dynamic, high-powered offense capable of thriving under pressure.
