Wednesday's ASU football practice marked the first time the Sun Devils practiced outdoors at the Kajikawa Practice Fields this fall camp. 

They had previously held each practice inside of the Verde Dickey Dome, with the exception of last Wednesday's scrimmage inside of Sun Devil Stadium and their outdoor practices at Camp Tontozona.

Practice Notes:

- The media availability Wednesday was restricted to team stretch and a short 11-on-11 segment featuring only the first team. It was a situational two-minute drill with 52 seconds left on the clock and one timeout remaining, with the offense down two points. 

Here's how they lined up:

First-Team Offense

QB: Mike Bercovici

RB: Kalen Ballage

WR: D.J. Foster, De'Chavon Hayes and Devin Lucien

TE: Kody Kohl

LT: Evan Goodman

LG: Christian Westerman

C: Nick Kelly

RG: Vi Teofilo

RT: Billy McGehee

First-Team Defense

DL: Ami Latu, Demetrius Cherry and JoJo Wicker

"Will" linebacker: Christian Sam

"Devilbacker:" Antonio Longino

"Sam" linebacker: Salamo Fiso

"Spur" linebacker: James Johnson

Field corner: Kweishi Brown

Boundary corner: Lloyd Carrington

Bandit safety: Jordan Simone

Field safety: Armand Perry

Bercovici looked solid in the session, not trying to force things on completions to Kohl and Ballage. The offense drove down the field effectively, but failed to convert on the game-winning field goal as the defense got the block.

Head coach Todd Graham was active on the sideline, calling out the defense for their lack of urgency in what was supposed to be a game-ending situation.

- Redshirt junior wide receiver Tim White went through individual drills for the second consecutive day in a reduced black wrap. He was still wearing a green non-contact jersey.
