Herm Edwards knows what you're thinking, and he has a few things to say

Herm Edwards is college football's most unconventional hire in recent memory, and he is undergoing the boldest Power 5 experiment in the country at Arizona State. Is it crazy enough to work? Or just plain crazy?

Herm Edwards uses his players meeting to preach discipline on the field without silly penalties, he quizzes guys on the dimensions of the football field and he makes it loud and clear that you never touch the QB in practice. "Now when those Roadrunners (UTSA) come to town, you light that quarterback up."

Utah State announced the hiring of Keith Patterson as defensive coordinator. Patterson spent the past four seasons at Arizona State, the first three as defensive coordinator. He also has held coordinator titles at Pitt, West Virginia and Tulsa.

Arizona State RB Kalen Ballage (6-foot-2, 222 pounds) really flashed some lateral speed today for a big back with downhill ability. Ballage can skate to open running lanes and also showed his versatility as a receiver in one-on-ones versus linebackers in coverage. He set up the defender well and created separation on underneath throws.

Kyle Bonagura ESPN Staff Writer 

With Kevin Sumlin headed to Arizona, it will only open up more scrutiny for Arizona State's decision to hire Herm Edwards. Many viewed Sumlin as a good fit at ASU and if he outperforms Edwards -- which seems likely -- it will be a major source of frustration for ASU fans who wanted Sumlin in the first place.
