Arizona State’s impressive season came to a close in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals as head coach Kenny Dillingham’s Sun Devils lost to the Texas Longhorns in a double-overtime thriller, 39-31.
Predicted to finish last in the Big 12 preseason media poll, ASU shocked many by winning the conference and advancing to the CFP. Despite falling short of the ultimate prize, the Sun Devils have much to celebrate.
Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders took to social media following ASU’s loss to congratulate Dillingham, the Big 12 Coach of the Year, on an exceptional season. Here’s what Coach Prime wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“@KennyDillinghamYou represented all of us from the @Big12 well my brother. We are proud of u and your team. God bless u all. You’re awesome COTY.”
After beating Arizona State in Tempe last season, Colorado will welcome Dillingham and the Sun Devils to Folsom Field in 2025.
