@FOOTBALLASU GAME NOTES - COLORADO

General The Sun Devil Athletics media relations staff understands the importance of assisting the media in providing coverage of the institution, its athletics programs, administrators, coaches and student-athletes. We pride ourselves in being able to disseminate information as widely, uniformly and fairly as possible using normally accepted media standards. To this end, the best attempt will be made to fill reasonable requests by recognized media outlets. Members of the media are encouraged to work with the Sun Devil Football media relations staff to assist in that endeavor. It is not permissible for media members to contact any athletics department administrator, associate, coach or student-athlete directly without working through the media relations department.

Practice PoliciesDue to the nature of Arizona State game dates this season, practices schedules each week will vary dependent upon that week’s game. The ASU media relations office will provide a practice schedule prior to each game week for the media. Viewing periods will operate under the same procedures as in 2016 for practices that occur at ASU’s indoor facility, The Dickey Dome. Only members of the media will be allowed to view the open portions of those practices in the facility. Members of the media will enter the facility once the team has completely entered. For those wishing to shoot still photography of or video tape practices, ASU will allow you to shoot approximately 30 minutes of each practice, unless the drill is team-related and as long as the footage does not include play signals. This is the same policy that used in Spring drills, 2017 and Fall practices, 2016. This period will begin at approximately 9:35 a.m. and end at approximately 10:05 a.m.

Viewing periods are always subject to the discretion of the Sun Devil Football coaching staff and may change suddenly. Following that open viewing period, the members of the media will be escorted out of the facility and reconvene near the end of the practice period at southeast entrance of Sun Devil Stadium for post-practice interviews. Under no circumstances will Periscope technology be permitted.

Interview PoliciesAll interviews will be conducted post-practice at the new Student-Athlete Facility, located at the north end of Sun Devil Stadium. Additional information on this will come at a later date. Due to high demand, several players and members of the coaching staff might only be available on a limited basis each week. A full availability schedule will be provided to the media each week.

Special in-season interview policies for Head Coach Todd Graham, coordinators Billy Napier and Phil Bennett and selected players will follow at a later date.

All other interviews must be arranged through the Media Relations office. Under no circumstances are members of the media allowed to contact a student-athlete or member of the coaching staff without first contacting a member of the Media Relations staff. All coaches and student-athletes have been encouraged to check in with the Media Relations staff and not indulge any interview requests that have not been arranged through the

proper channels. Every possible attempt will be made to accommodate all media requests.

Following home contests, Arizona State will bring several student-athletes to the media room at the new Student-Athlete Facility in the North end zone for a post-game press conference. Head Coach Todd Graham will follow the student-athletes.

Any members who wish to contact a student-athlete or coach outside of the aforementioned interview periods should contact the Media Relations staff as follows:

Photography/Videoography Media wishing to document practice via photograph or video will be able to do so during this time, so long as said documentation does not record play-calling signals. On-camera interviews will be conducted at the end of each practice. For home games, a photographer work area has been established inside the Carson Student-Athlete Center (first floor). Internet access to transmit files is available in the photography workroom. Credentials must be worn in plain view throughout the game while on the field and all photographers must adhere to painted lines and instructions given by security personnel and/or Arizona State staff members at all times.

LAST TIME - COLORADO - 2016

BOULDER (AP) - Phillip Lindsay rushed for 219 yards and three touchdowns in the Buffaloes’ 40-16 romp that marked Colo-rado’s first win over the Sun Devils in eight tries.

Lindsay averaged 8.4 yards on 26 carries and his big day included a 75-yard TD rumble on the first snap of the second half. He also scored from 13 yards out and capped it off with a 4-yard run in the final minute.

The Buffs ran for 315 yards overall compared to just 50 for Arizona State.

Senior Zane Gonzalez’s field goals of 50, 51 and 59 yards tied an FBS record for most 50-plus field goals in a game and his 59-yarder established a Sun Devils record. It was the second-longest at Folsom Field be-hind Mason Crosby’s 60-yarder against Iowa State on Oct. 16, 2004.

The Buffs had 580 yards to Arizona State’s 199. That’s the fewest yards they’ve allowed in a conference game in 15 years.

Liufau threw for 265 yards on 23 of 31 pass-ing against the nation’s worst pass defense in his return to the Buffs starting lineup for the first time since spraining his left ankle at Michigan on Sept. 17.

ASU is fourth nationally in converting on 96.00 percent of its red zone appearances this season (24-of-25), however, the Devils took a knee in the final seconds of the team’s victory over fifth-ranked Washington in the red zone - the lone ‘blemish’ to the team’s total this season. The Devils sit 13th nationally in red zone touchdown scoring with 19 touchdowns on those 25 attempts (76.00). The Sun Devils scored on 43-of-47 trips to the red zone in 2016 (91.5 percent), a total that ranked 10th in the nation.

» ASU allowed just 467 total passing yards in its three-game stretch against Stanford, Washington and Utah. Again, for perspective, ASU had given up more than that in a SINGLE GAME on seven different occassions in the 29 games prior to that run.

» According to Pro Football Focus, the Sun Devil pass coverage has been rated either the first or second-best in the conference in three of the last four games (Stanford, Washington, Utah). HE’S THE MANNY

» Wilkins has three touchdown passes over 50 yards this season after not having any in his career previously.

» Wilkins has a 112.1 NFL quarterback rating on deep passes (passes of more than 20 yards), good for 11th nationally among quarterbacks who drop back at least 50 percent of the time.

» Since his first quarter interception at Arizona last year (over 8 1/2 games), Wilkins is 207-of-311 (66.6 percent) with 2,430 yards, 12 touchdowns, 3 interceptions (two on a tipped pass) with a 143.00 passing efficiency in that time

» Wilkins broke the school record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception at 192 dating back to last season before his first quarter interception against Stanford, breaking Rudy Carpenter’s previous school record of 149 from the end of 2005 to 2006.

GOLD RUSH » ASU has 15 rushing TDs this year as it seeks to reach 25 rushing

touchdowns for the fourth time in the last six seasons. The current total of three such times is notable as the Devils had just three previous seasons with at least 25 rushing touchdowns from 1980-2011 (1985, 1986 and 1996).

» The Sun Devils scored on 43-of-47 trips to the red zone in 2016 (91.5 percent), a total that ranked 10th in the nation. ASU scored a touchdown on 33 of those trips (70.2 percent). That percentage was ranked 22nd nationally and notable as ASU found the end zone on just 51.5 percent of its red zone trips in 2015 - a total that ranked 108th in the country. SUPER DEMARIO

» Demario Richard is currently 11th in Sun Devil history with 2,554 career rushing yards and needs fewer than 100 yards to move into ASU’s all-time top-10.
