After a Friday report that freshman quarterback Jaden Rashada would start for Arizona State this weekend, a Saturday report from 247Sports’ Chris Karpman says Rashada will play but won’t start the game for the Sun Devils.
Karpman’s update says Rashada was late for a team meeting, which prohibits a player from starting due to a team policy. Trenton Bourguet will start instead.
Previous Sun Devils have violated the same policy, and Karpman says the punishment usually only lasts one series. However, Rashada’s time will come down to how well Bourguet plays at the start of the game. The junior has played in eight games this season, completing 60.9% of his passes for 6.0 yards per attempt. Bourguet has thrown one touchdown and four interceptions this season.
Arizona State plays Arizona at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
