Tempe, AZ – Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham is emphasizing rest and recovery as the Sun Devils prepare for their Thursday night matchup against Texas State. Despite the quick turnaround, Dillingham is confident that his team can perform at a high level.
After a dominant 48-7 victory over Wyoming in their season opener, the Sun Devils are focused on maintaining their momentum. Dillingham acknowledged that the team may need to adjust their practice schedule to ensure they are fresh and ready for the game.
One key player to watch is running back Cam Skattebo, who recently earned Associated Press National Player of the Week and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors for his outstanding performance against Mississippi State. Despite the physical toll of his 262 rushing yards, Skattebo is expected to be ready for action.
The Sun Devils will face a tough challenge from Texas State, a team that recently defeated UTSA 49-10. Texas State’s defensive coordinator, Dexter McCoil Sr., is known for his aggressive blitzing schemes, which will require the Sun Devils to be prepared and execute their game plan effectively.
The game against Texas State will be televised on ESPN on Thursday (Tomorrow!) at 4:30 PM Pacific time.
