ASU football has one of the top offenses in the country, largely due to their strong offensive line.
ESPN.com writer Kyle Bonagura broke down the offensive line for each Pac-12 South school, saying the Sun Devils are in “good shape” going into 2015.
Between left guard Christian Westerman, center Nick Kelly and right guard Vi Teofilo, the Sun Devils have a good starting point, but need to replace left tackle Jamil Douglas, a fourth-round pick to Miami, and right tackle Tyler Sulka. The progress of Evan Goodman, assuming he locks down the left tackle job, could ultimately decide how this unit fares.
ASU averaged 36.9 points and 442.3 yards per game on offense last season behind a line of Douglas, Westerman, Kelly, Teofilo and Sulka.
The offensive line also led then-junior running back D.J. Foster to his first 1,000-yard rushing season (1,081).
Pac-12 South schools listed as being in “great shape” along the offensive line are UCLA and USC, followed by Utah being in “good shape,” with a “we’ll see” tag added to Arizona and Colorado.
