TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State's first season under coach Herm Edwards has been a solid one. The Sun Devils beat some good teams, lost some close games and are bowl eligible.

The Wildcats need a win on Saturday to become bowl eligible, adding a level of intensity in an already-heated rivalry.
Arizona State heads to Oregon this weekend needing a win to stay alive in the Pac-12 South.
If the Sun Devils (6-4, 4-3 Pac-12) can take care of the Ducks, then win at rival Arizona in the regular-season finale, the team will go to the league championship game. Or, they could seal a trip a week early if they win at Oregon, combined with a Utah loss at Colorado and an Arizona loss at Washington State.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State quarterback Manny Wilkins emerged from an emotional Saturday with a victory that keeps his team in great shape in the crowded Pac-12 South.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — That 0-2 start to the Pac-12 season seems like ancient history to Utah now.
The No. 16 Utes (6-2, 4-2 Pac-12) have won four straight, topping 40 points in each of the wins, and sit alone atop the Pac-12 South heading in to Saturday's game at Arizona State.
"They have got a senior-laden defense with a lot of experience over there," Sun Devils coach Herm Edwards said. "They don't give up a lot of points, averaging about 16 points a game. They have done a nice job up there."

SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego State coach Rocky Long was driving to work earlier this week when he heard on the radio that the NFL's Jets knew all the Detroit Lions' signals, resulting in a 48-17 victory for New York.
Arizona was supposed to be the team in the Grand Canyon State that would have the easiest time transitioning to a new coach. Kevin Sumlin was taking over a program that had a Heisman Trophy front-runner, an explosive offense and the potential to be better on defense.
But while No. 23 Arizona State has won its first two games under Herm Edwards, Arizona is 0-2 under Sumlin and facing a litany of issues.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The knock on Herm Edwards' hiring at Arizona State was his time away from the game. Edwards had not coached since being fired by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008 and spent eight years at ESPN, so the thinking was that there was no way he could be successful as a college coach.
Wrong. Edwards may not have been on the sideline, but he was studying the game, even coaching it — at least in his mind — in the television studio.
