Sun Devils Honor Players at Awards Banquet
On Sunday, the Arizona State Sun Devils celebrated another season in the books with their annual awards banquet.
It's a chance for the team to look back on the season they had prior to playing in their bowl game, enjoying a meal with each other and ultimately honoring team captains and handing out awards that are voted on and selected by Arizona State players.
Now that the Sun Devils know their bowl destination, preparations begin in search for win No. 9 this season.
Many players will now do so with well-earned honors from their peers.
