PHOENIX – Arizona State’s offense has come a long way since 2019.
Though the 2019 season was a normal one by 2020 standards and featured a full set of spring and fall practices, the Sun Devils offense was stuck in neutral for much of the year.
ASU’s passing game was inconsistent as then-freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels rarely had a clean pocket from which to throw and maneuver. The running game, despite the presence of celebrated running back Eno Benjamin, struggled all season as the young and inexperienced offensive line rarely opened navigable holes for runners.
