WHAT’S AT STAKE

The Sun Devils play their final non-conference game before starting their first Big 12 schedule, and staying unbeaten sends them into their new league with momentum. For Texas State and coach G.J. Kinne, the matchup is a chance for a major statement win on national television by an often overlooked program from the Sun Belt Conference.
