Edwards teams up with ESPN again after having worked there prior to his hiring at Arizona State, originally joining the company in March 2009 as a NFL studio analyst.
Hard Rock Stadium will be the hub of ESPN's innovation on Championship Monday, including approximately 100 cameras providing every angle of college football's biggest night. More than 100 microphones will be placed throughout the stadium, capturing the sounds of the game and atmosphere of the crowd, enhancing the game telecast.
Coming off a 2020 season that ended in a two-game winning streak, Edwards and the Sun Devils have momentum heading into next year. Arizona State claimed the Territorial Cup for the 8th time in the past 11 matchups, scoring a series-record 70 points in the victory. ASU put up 70 points for the first time since 1969. Edwards moved to 3-0 against the Wildcats to start his career, becoming just the fifth coach in program history to accomplish the feat. The explosive offense and opportunistic defense shined in the season finale against Oregon State, with the offensive line paving the way for 375 yards on the ground. The Sun Devil defense caused opponents fits, having now forced 34 turnovers in the last 11 games dating back to 2019.
