This was absurd. ASU gave up a TD in the first series of today’s game because a guy who’d never played nickel before was moved there due to Simmons missing the first half for a very similar type of contact due to a targeting call vs Iowa State

What an incredible season! Losing sucks! But man I have never been so proud of a group of young men in my entire life! The bonds this team has is old school, and it’s real, these relationships will live on forever! This is a team that truly loves eachother, and watching it first hand is something I will never forget! #SunDevil4LIFE #LIFERS #FAMILY

In late 2017, I sent Kenny Dillingham a message congratulating him on the remarkable 10-win season Memphis had just experienced in his first year as an FBS quarterbacks coach under Mike Norvell. The future youngest Power Four coach in the country, who has accomplished what seemed nearly impossible in his second season at Arizona State, responded with a glimpse into his ambitious nature. "You know where my home is and where my dream to coach is tho!!" the Scottsdale native and ASU graduate concluded in his reply. The truth is, I'd often heard such things from former staff members hoping to climb their way up the college football ladder since I try to keep in touch with a lot of them. At the time, I didn't think much of it. A week later, Herm Edwards was hired as ASU's head coach. A month after that, Dillingham was promoted to be Norvell's offensive coordinator at Memphis, becoming the youngest person in such a role at the FBS level. Following another expression of congratulations, his response upped the ante on just how ambitious the then-27-year-old truly was. Dillingham, on Jan. 3, 2018: "And you know my goal. Head coach of Arizona State. My goal is to be the next guy after Herm Edwards." Here is the truth: When I read that, I chuckled a bit. Perhaps even out loud. Yeah, sure. Even after Dillingham had just become the youngest offensive coordinator in the country, I dismissed his message as youthfully exuberant. Who's laughing now? 247sports.com/college/arizon…
