Arizona State: 10 Fun Facts Ahead of Colorado

Don't head into Saturday night's meeting with Colorado without these 10 fun facts.

Pac-12 football is officially here.

The Arizona State Sun Devils play host to the Colorado Buffaloes in what is set to be an exciting matchup as the two programs play their first of many conference games. 

Will a 2-1 Sun Devils team bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season? The friendly confines of Sun Devil Stadium should assist in their efforts. Head coach Herm Edwards will be sure have his guys ready to go in an important matchup prior to hitting the road and taking on UCLA at the Rose Bowl.
