Arizona State Sun Devils College Football Pregame Quote, 12/30/2024

XAVION ALFORD: He makes a lot of good throws, has a strong, and with their offense with Coach Sarkisian and the personnel that they have, they explosive guys over there.

He tries to put them in one-on-one situations, get them the ball, get the ball to his play makers, things of that nature, and then they do a lot of stuff with motions and things of that nature. I think it’s definitely a good challenge for us going up against them and I think it’s going to be a great game.

Q. (Inaudible).

XAVION ALFORD: When I signed there out of high school, my coaches originally, when I signed to Texas, yeah, the staff, defensive staff that I signed to got fired. So I ended up staying there a year, and it was good. I was there. It didn’t really fit — we didn’t really fit each other. So we moved on. That was really all.

Q. Any particular reason?

XAVION ALFORD: Not any particular reason really. Felt like that was the best thing for me.

Q. And why are there so many Longhorns on the Sun Devils?

XAVION ALFORD: I really don’t know. Credit to Bryan Carrington, the relationships he’s built with us, him coming out here. We starting the Texas-Tempe thing. So him being a big part of that, some of us Texas guys ended up coming from Texas to ASU. So it just ended up working out like that. It’s just crazy. He coaches the cornerbacks mostly, yeah.
