Who Are The Arizona State Sun Devils?
If you’re heading to Wembley and you’ve picked Arizona State in the team selector, you’ve gone for a team that rarely does things the easy way.
This is a programme built on flashes. Moments. Energy.
And when it all comes together, it’s properly dangerous.
The Identity – Built In The Desert
Arizona State are based in Tempe, Arizona. It’s hot. It’s relentless. And that environment has always shaped the way they play.
Fast. Aggressive. Attacking.
They’ve never really been about grinding teams down over four quarters. They want to stretch games. Open them up. Turn them into something chaotic.
That’s when they’re at their best.
A Programme With History… And Inconsistency
This isn’t a small programme.
Arizona State have produced serious NFL talent over the years, including receivers and defensive players who’ve made it at the highest level. They’ve had seasons where they’ve pushed into the national conversation and won their conference.
But consistency has always been the issue.
They’ve had seasons where everything clicks. Then just as quickly, it drops off again.
That’s why they’re hard to predict.
And why they’re dangerous in one-off games like Wembley.
What They Actually Look Like On The Field
Arizona State want momentum.
They play with tempo. They look for big plays. They try to create swings in the game rather than control every phase of it.
That means quick scoring drives, risks taken down the field, and a team that feeds off energy when things go their way. Think less chess match, more cavalry charge.
But it also means if momentum turns, they can struggle to reset.
That’s the balance.
The Details That Matter
Stadium: Mountain America Stadium (Sun Devil Stadium)
Location: Tempe, Arizona
Team Colours: Maroon and gold
Mascot: Sparky the Sun Devil
Sparky isn’t subtle. Pitchfork, grin, full personality. It tells you everything about the programme. Bold, a bit chaotic, and not trying to fit in.
Why Wembley Might Suit Them
Neutral site. Big stage. One-off game.
That’s where Arizona State can be dangerous.
They don’t need to be perfect over a full season. They just need one game where it clicks.
And if it does, they can take control quickly.
Why You Might Back Them
If you like high-tempo football, big moments over slow control, and teams that can flip a game in minutes, Arizona State are your team.
The Last Word from Across the Pond
If Kansas are the team trying to control the game, Arizona State are the team trying to break it open.
And in a one-off at Wembley, that matters.
