May give us clues to what we will see with new coach Paul Randolph

"Think of Arizona State’s defense as Joe Pesci’s character from “Casino,” Nicky Santoro, and then it will start to make sense.

You come at them with I-backs, they come back with a blitz. You come at them with a spread, they come back with a different blitz. You call a time out, they’ll still try to blitz you when you’re sucking down water. They’ll keep coming and coming.

No team in Power 5 football blitzed more last season than the Sun Devils and their “hybrid attacking defense.” That side of the ball is head coach Todd Graham’s baby. He designed it. He calls the plays. He presses the action. And when it doesn’t work, he makes no apologies for his Texas swagger.

“Can you imagine how hard it is to defend the offenses in the Pac-12 each week?” Graham said. “Forget that. We’re going to make them defend us. That’s the philosophy.”"

*Edit* Looks like they are hybrid 3-4/3-3-5 defense

I like the location....do not like the opponent. As a fellow long suffering Tiger fan...I should be happy regardless I know.
