CELEBRATING 50 YEARS SUN DEVIL STADIUM 41 OUTLOOK

Brought to Arizona State University as head football coach in December of 2007, Dennis Erickson was chosen to guide the Sun Devils due to his track record of immediate and influential success, his reputation as a “player’s coach” and his tendency to heighten enthusiasm among fans and supporters. During his debut season on the sidelines at ASU, Erickson continued his remarkable tradition in impressive fashion, leading the Sun Devils to a 10-3 record and a share of the Pacific-10 Conference championship as well as the program’s fourth consecutive postseason bowl berth, while earning Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors, becoming only the third coach to earn the award on three occasions. “The coaches and the players did a great job last season,” says Erickson. “The players bought into what we were teaching them, and they took it upon themselves to work toward accomplishing the goals we had as a team. The team as a whole did what we asked and competed at a high level, allowing us to win 10 games and help build momentum for 2008 and beyond.” In addition to claiming the team’s best overall record since 1996, Erickson rejuvenated the college football environment at ASU, providing an intense, exciting and fan-friendly brand of football that produced tremendous results. Improvements have blazed throughout the entire program during Erickson’s short tenure – among them a brand-new, state-of-the-art practice facility will be used beginning in the fall – thanks largely to exponential increases in donors and heightened fiscal generosity the program has received due to the new attitude and high standards established by Erickson and his staff. “Arizona State University is a place that is tailor made for success,” says Erickson. “In addition to the incredible facilities, amazing weather and a fantastic University, we as a football team have unbeliev- able support that from the administration, ranging from (University President) Dr. Michael Crow, to the other coaches in our department, and of course, (Vice President for Athletics) Lisa Love. Also, the fans have been awfully supportive since I arrived, which makes a big impact. That’s what football is all about.” Recruiting has also skyrocketed under Erickson as ASU’s 2008 signing class is considered to be one of the school’s very best in the past two decades and was rated as the No. 16 class in the nation by Scout.com. The class was highlighted by a slew of Arizona natives, as Erickson places high priority on ensuring that the elite high school football players in the Grand Canyon State become Sun Devil student-athletes. The 2008 season expects to continue to provide fireworks in Tempe, as ASU returns an experienced and potent offense, as well as an athletic and striking defense, led by a exciting blend of veteran experi- ence and youth that is expected to formulate another thrilling year of football in the desert. The Sun Devil offense is once again guided by Rudy Carpenter, entering his fourth year as ASU’s QB Rudy Carpenter starting quarterback. ASU boasts the top running back tandem in the Pac-10 in senior Keegan Herring and junior Dimitri Nance, while junior Chris McGaha, senior Michael Jones and junior Kyle Williams the first freshman in NCAA history to lead the nation in pass efficiency, with a national freshman record lead the Sun Devils’ talented group of wide receivers and right guard Paul Fanaika provides senior rating of 175.01.

This season Herring and Dimitri Nance will start the 2008 campaign as the conference’s most accomplished ground crew, having totaled more yards and touchdowns last season than any returning combination of two running back teammates in the Pac-10. In addition to Herring and Nance, the Sun Devils will look to employ the services of additional backs to create even greater offensive breadth and diversity. Entering his second season coaching the Sun Devil running backs is assistant coach and former college tailback Jamie Christian. As speedy a ballcarrier as observers may ever see, Herring has been one of the Pac-10’s most explo- sive and consistent tailbacks in recent years. After setting ASU’s freshman rushing record with 870 yards as a true freshman in 2005, the Peoria, Ariz., native has continued that surge during his sophomore and junior seasons, standing as the active Pac-10 career leader in all major rushing categories and is the only active back in the league to have surpassed 500 rushing yards in each of the past three seasons. One of the nation’s prime “home-run” threats out of the backfield, Herring lead ASU last season and is atop the list of Pac-10 returning running backs with 154 rushes for 815 yards (5.3 avg.) in 2007, while adding five touchdown runs. A threat to take the ball the length of the field in a heartbeat, Herring is also highly durable and is the only player to have appeared in all 38 games of the 2005-07 seasons (12 starts). In addition to his elite speed and agility, Herring comes into this season with added muscle to his already chiseled frame, measuring at 5-10, 195 pounds. For his three-year Sun Devil career, Herring has totaled 406 carries for 2,234 yards (5.5 avg.) and 17 touchdowns, placing him 10th all-time at ASU in career rushing yards. After Torain’s season was cut short due to injury, Nance was called upon to serve a greater role, and the Texan provided a noticeable impact throughout his increased playing time, leading ASU with seven RB Keegan Herring rushing touchdowns, which also ranks first among returning running backs in the Pac-10.

recipient by USA Today as a senior, Bass was rated as the No. 2 all-purpose running back in the nation by Rivals.com and the No. 91 overall prospect in the nation. During his career at Corona (Calif.)

Upon his arrival to ASU, Bass figures to quickly add a dynamic, big-play threat to the Sun Devil backfield. Johnson comes to ASU by way of nearby Mesa High School and has the ability to help the Sun Devils in a variety of ways, whether as an all-purpose offensive threat, or perhaps at defensive back. Johnson earned Honorable Mention All-5A Honors by the Arizona Republic as a senior and was rated as the No. 22 all-purpose athlete in the West region by ESPN Scouts, Inc. after leading the Jackrabbits in total touchdowns (16), as well as pacing the squad rushing and receiving, carrying 96 times for 761 yards (8.3 avg.) and 11 touchdowns, while also totaling 19 receptions for 324 yards (17.1 avg.) with two scores.

Spring drills served as an excellent opportunity for ASU’s tight ends to advance among the depth chart, as the competition rages to replace each of the top three players at the position -- Brent Miller, Tyrice Thompson and Brady Conrad combined for 44 receptions for 537 yards and three touchdowns in 2007 -- from last season. In the Sun Devil offense, ASU enlists the duties of a “Y” tight end, which is a traditional, line of scrimmage player, as well as a “U” tight end in several formations, a player that lines up in a variety of spots and plays as a hybrid tight end/wide receiver and is very active in the passing game.

After graduating senior offensive linemen from last season that combined for 127 career starts, the pendulum now shifts for the Sun Devils to integrate young, hungry and athletic offensive linemen to lead the charge in the trenches for the ASU offense. The opportunities for playing time created some of the most heated position rivalries among the entire roster during the spring, ensuring that the most dedicated and talented players will emerge as starters for the Sun Devil offensive line in the fall. Guided by veteran assistant coach Gregg Smith, ASU looks to reload its powerful offensive line with top-level athletes and help the Sun Devils continue to showcase one of the Pac-10‘s elite offenses. The most veteran of ASU’s offensive linemen is senior Paul Fanaika, entering his third season as a starting guard. A former walk-on, the mammoth native of Millbrae, Calif., has become one of the Pac-10’s top interior linemen, having lassoed Honorable Mention All-Conference honors in each of the past two seasons. A player who has steadily improved each year on campus, the 6-6, 359-pound powerhouse is the largest athlete on the entire roster and has started 23 of 36 career games, including all 13 of 2007 at right guard, and Fanaika assumes to maintain his first-team status at that position.

As Coach Erickson continues to implement schemes and develop athletes that accommodate his proven game plan, the Sun Devils have been able to greatly boost the overall talent level of the defensive line since his arrival. At defensive tackle, ASU will look for contributions from a mixture of experienced veterans and capable youngsters to help the Sun Devils overpower opponents at the line of scrimmage. Helping develop ASU’s defensive linemen is assistant coach Grady Stretz, entering his third year at the position for the Sun Devils. The most significant departure from 2007 at defensive tackle is two-year starter Michael Marquardt, a tremendous student-athlete who earned Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 accolades both seasons was an excellent team leader and a inside force for the Sun Devil defensive line. Looking to retain a starting position is senior David Smith of Chandler Hamilton High School, an athlete that has grown and improved each year during his Sun Devil career. A tough player with an excellent work ethic, Smith provides the presence of a very active and versatile player among the interior defensive line. The most experienced active Sun Devil defender, Smith has played in 37 games during his first three years and started all 13 games last season, totaling 22 tackles (nine solo), 6.5 tackles-for-loss (-27 yards), 3.5 sacks (-20 yards), one interception and one forced fumble. For his career, the 6-3, 288- pounder has accumulated 41 tackles (22 solo), 9.5 tackles-for-loss (-37 yards), 4.5 sacks (-27 yards), two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions.

Locked and loaded with competitive performers at all three positions, the Sun Devils’ group of linebackers has the potential to be one of the more dangerous and deep units in the Pac-10 Conference, returning four players who earned starts in 2007. Helping lead the Sun Devil linebackers is Craig Bray, who dually serves as the team’s defensive coordinator. Gone from 2007 will be ASU Most Valuable Defensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-Pac-10 member Robert James, who manned the weak side linebacker position in all 13 games last season, leading the Sun Devils in total tackles. In the wake of James’ graduation, the competition at weak side linebacker, as well as in the middle and on the strong side, has been highly elevated as to develop a new breed of leaders in the Sun Devil defensive front seven. A player who has steadily progressed during his first two years in the Sun Devil program, junior Travis Goethel enters 2008 atop the depth chart at strong side linebacker after starting all 13 games last season. ASU’s leading returning tackler from 2007, the Vista, Calif., native collected 71 tackles (43 solo), 3.5 tackles-for-loss (-11 yards), three forced fumbles, three pass deflections and one sack. A starter in 17 of 26 career games at outside linebacker, Goethel has solidified himself as a reliable starting defender and has collected 100 total tackles (64 solo), with 4.5 tackles-for-loss (-16 yards) during his two-year ASU career. Munns is an intelligent player who has earned high praise from the coaches and has swiftly jetted his way up the depth chart at middle linebacker. His high-level effort and improvement yielded a promo- tion to first-string during the spring. A sound tackler and precise decision maker with next-level size )6-4, 238-pounds) the product of Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton High School has appeared in 23 career games with three starts, totaling 35 tackles (24 solo), 3.5 tackles-for-loss (-11 yards), two fumble recoveries, one sack, one forced fumble and one pass breakup. Munns will be tested by several competi- tors to maintain his spot atop the depth chart, but has shown the necessary tools to thrive as a starter. Able to play any of the three linebacker positions is Mike Nixon, a savvy and sturdy competitor who, due to a previous career in minor league baseball, enters 2008 as a 24-year-old junior. The Phoenix product saw extensive action at middle linebacker in 2007, starting four games. During spring drills, Nixon was rotated throughout virtually every linebacker spot and is capable of assuming first-team duties regardless his assignment. An intelligent student-athlete, Nixon also earned First-Team Pac-10 All-Academic accolades as a sophomore last season. For his two-year college football career, Nixon has LB Gerald Munns appeared in all 26 games of the past two seasons with eight starts, while collecting 90 career tackles (65 solo), as well as 11 tackles-for-loss, seven pass breakups, four sacks, two fumble recoveries and

A player that has the ability to greatly capitalize on the three graduated lettermen is junior Grant Crunkleton. A solid defender, Crunkleton has exhibited the ability to play a considerable role in the cornerback depth chart, and will have the opportunity to compete to be a top reserve in 2008. “Grant Crunkleton is doing a great job of competing right now,” says Erickson. “His greatest advan- tage is that he’s a very smart player, which will help him in his fight for playing time.” The Sun Devils boast the luxury of versatility in the secondary, as safeties Jarrell Holman and Jonathan Clark both have the ability to also play cornerback if called upon to do so. Walkons Kamron Brown, Cameron Harkey, Corey Henderson and Pierre Singfield will add depth at cornerback. Joining the squad in the fall are three exceptional freshman athletes with the ability to play corner- back, including Deveron Carr, Clint Floyd and Josh Jordan.

To begin the 2007 season, what was expected to be the most challenging adjustment on ASU’s special teams quickly became its greatest strength. After the graduation of Jessie Ainsworth, ASU’s kicker during the 2003-07 seasons and second- leading scorer in Sun Devil history, following the 2006 season, Coach Erickson looked to former walk- on Thomas Weber to carry the torch at kicker as a redshirt freshman, and Erickson’s faith was greatly rewarded as Weber turned in one of the greatest seasons by a kicker in Sun Devil history. The winner of the 2007 Lou Groza Award, presented annually to the nation’s top placekicker, a First-Team All-American by the Associated Press and a First-Team All-Pac-10 honoree, Weber was sensationally consistent during his freshman season, connecting on 24-of-25 field goals (96.0 pct.), with a long of 53 yards. A three-time Pac-10 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week in 2007, Weber set numerous Sun Devil records in only his first college season, including a record streak of 17 made field goal attempts to begin the year (also a nation-leading streak for the season) and a nation- high accuracy rating. The Downey, Calif., product ranked first in the Pac-10, fifth in the nation and tied the Sun Devil single-season record for points by kicking (118) set by Mike Barth as a senior in 2002, while also placing sixth in the country with 1.85 made field goals per game. A sharpshooter off the kicking tee and in the classroom, Weber added First-Team Pac-10 All-Academic honors to his list of accomplishments as a rookie in 2007. In addition to his near-perfect kicking reputation, Weber took on the added challenge of taking over punting duties midway through the season and averaged 39.3 yards on 47 punts for the year. Entering the spring, he leads the depth chart at punter, but will battle with Zach Richards. Completing the kick- ing “hat trick”, Weber also competed as ASU’s kickoff specialist for the entire 2007 season and looks to do so again in 2008. Redshirt freshman Zach Richards of Phoenix is positioned as Weber’s top reserve for all kicking PK Thomas Weber
