LOS ANGELES — Arizona State coach Todd Graham did not specifically reference the Territorial Cup while discussing the changes needed to reverse the course of his program this season.
But there’s no question the result of that game provided at least some of the impetus for the Sun Devils’ offseason makeover.
Arizona State replaced both coordinators. It has a new football facility. Graham and his staff are in the process of reshaping the team’s attitude.
“Our motto this year is ‘Sun Devil Tough,’ ” Graham said Thursday at Pac-12 Media Days. “Every single Sun Devil you talk to, it's about being tough. Tough people come out of tough times.”
