Loser – Todd Graham

The hot seat has officially melted at this point for Todd Graham. Once again, the Sun Devils picked up another loss and have now lost eight of their last nine dating back to last season. The trend has now carried over to non-conference play for them.

To their credit, they made a great attempt at a rally against Texas Tech, but it means nothing more than another loss. Even worse for Graham is the fact that the Sun Devils now have a brutal stretch of conference games coming up.

They will play the best teams in their conference in a row and they could very well be staring down 1-7 or 1-8 if things don’t fall their way. There is no one that can safely say at this point that they have any chance in those football games.

It’s hard to believe that the wheels are about to fall completely off for him after the start he had with the program, but the defense hasn’t gotten better and the offense isn’t good enough to make up for their deficiencies.

Graham better have a miracle up his sleeve at this point and that’s going to be tough against an Oregon team that is rolling through everyone. Things in Tempe are about to take an interesting turn to say the least.
