ASU’s New-Look Team0:50 – 3:41

Jordan SimoneHost

0:50

I know that ASU fans are ready after an eight win season last year and all of the chaos, which was Sam Levitt and him may or may not.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:01

Him maybe playing basketball, maybe not playing basketball.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:04

I don't know.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:06

Hurting his ankle.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:07

Still winning eight games.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:10

It was a win in my eyes last year with everything that went on.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:14

Although there was real high expectations.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:17

Levitt getting hurt.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:18

Jeff Sims coming in and throwing 5,000 interceptions.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:23

That's neither here nor there.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:24

Let's move forward.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:26

Kenny's going to be calling plays.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:28

This is a team that almost feels brand new.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:32

You know, not a lot of returning starters.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:34

You got a new quarterback in Cutter Bully who was just named this last couple days ago, really.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:41

But everybody thought it was going to be number eight, right? We thought number eight was going to be the guy.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:44

He's the guy that they paid for.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:47

Transferred from Kentucky, for those of you that don't know.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:49

Played as a redshirt freshman.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:51

Had some flashes of greatness, had some tough moments as well.

Jordan SimoneHost

1:55

What you expect from a freshman, right? He had 15 touchdowns that he threw and 12 picks, so not great numbers.

Jordan SimoneHost

2:01

But if you listen to Kenny, he says a lot of those were on third and long, third and medium, trying to make a play when there was nothing there.

Jordan SimoneHost

2:09

And remind you.

Jordan SimoneHost

2:11

Kentucky is in the SEC.

Jordan SimoneHost

2:13

He's playing against top talent.
