Don't miss out on the excitement and tradition of Sun Devil football!
Join the Sun Devils football team in the quest for a Pac-10 title. In 2000, the Sun Devils will face a favorable schedule that sees them play three nonconference games before opening the Pac-10 Conference slate. Arizona State will hit the road to open the season for the first time since the 1995, this year at San Diego State on Thursday, Aug. 31. The team will then return home for nonconference contests against Colorado State and Utah State before opening the Pac-10 season at UCLA on Sept. 30.
The winningest Pac-10 team (31-16 overall and 23-9 conference marks) over the last four seasons, Arizona State looks to figure into the wide-open Pac-10 Conference race. After the team's Pac-10 opener at UCLA, the Sun Devils will host Cal and
Washington before heading to Washington State on Oct. 21. The team will then return
to Sun Devil Stadium to host Oregon and USC before wrapping up the regular season with games at defending Pac-10 Champion Stanford and Arizona. The byes for the team fall after the season opener in San Diego and then between the Stanford and Arizona games. That means that the Sun Devils will have to play a stretch of nine games without a break through the middle of the season.
Entering the season, Arizona State Head Coach Bruce Snyder has reason to be optimistic. With 47 returning letterwinners, including seven starters on offense and six on defense, an incoming recruiting class that has been ranked as high as eighth in the nation and a wide-open Pac-10 Conference field, the future looks bright for the Sun Devil football program heading into the fall.
