Summary
- TCU coach Sonny Dykes impressed by Arizona State's all-around talent
- Sun Devils have one of the top QBs, WRs, and defensive fronts in the country
- Dykes emphasizes need for disciplined defense to contain mobile ASU QB
As of September 27th, 2025, TCU (3-0) is set to face off against Arizona State (3-1) in a highly anticipated primetime battle on FOX. Ahead of the matchup, Horned Frogs head coach Sonny Dykes made it clear that the Sun Devils bring one of the most complete teams his squad has faced so far this season.
Dykes praised the energy, physicality, and overall talent he sees on film from Arizona State. "They don't have a lot of weaknesses," he said, highlighting the Sun Devils' standout quarterback, arguably the top receiver in the country, veteran offensive line, strong running game, formidable defensive front, athletic linebackers, and reliable kicker. Dykes emphasized the need for his team to play disciplined defense in order to contain ASU's mobile quarterback.
The Horned Frogs are coming off a strong defensive performance against rival SMU, holding them to just 94 rushing yards. Dykes sees this as a positive sign heading into the matchup with the balanced Sun Devils. For the TCU head coach, the trip to Phoenix also carries personal significance, as he previously coached at the University of Arizona.
