It is officially game week for the ASU football team. The Sun Devils practiced Monday morning at the Kajikawa Practice Fields, preparing for the team's first game of the season against New Mexico State on Thursday night at Sun Devil Stadium.

Monday was the only practice available to the media before the first game. 

During the short media viewing period, ASU players practiced ball protection drills while team personnel tried to poke the ball from their hands.


Later on, the first-team offense took the field for tempo drills. The offense started off strong, with a wide receiver screen to John Humphrey and a touchdown reception for Jalen Harvey that came from a slant route. Running plays were mixed in as well.

Soon after, in team drills, quarterback Manny Wilkins completed two throws down the sideline to wide receivers N'Keal Harry and Terrell Chatman.

There was also a scout from the New York Jets at today's practice.
