What a difference a year makes. After an injury-plagued and cobbled-together 2023, the Sun Devil offense roared to life last year, under the guidance of new offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo. Now with a star quarterback, playmakers all across the roster, all behind a veteran line, Arroyo's unit has the potential to be among the nation's best. On this episode, we break down the position groups, discuss Sam Leavitt's growth and NFL future, the keys to roster retention, the critical impact of program culture, and much more.
