Big 12 Football for 2024 will be exciting with 16 teams and who will compete for the championship. Check out the Arizona State schedule below.
Team overview from 2023
Arizona State went 3-9 overall and 2-7 in conference. This year wasn’t well and wasn’t the best before entering the Big 12. The Sun Devils had over 300 yards per game on offense and allowed their opponents almost 400 yards per game. They have to fix the holes in their defense before entering the Big 12 or those 400 yards per game will be much more than that. Arizona State is going to have to step up their use in the run game and get that going to be successful in the Big 12.
