The Arizona State football team is 3-0 on the season after defeating Texas 31-28 on Thursday night in San Marcos, Texas.
The Sun Devils are the first FBS team to win three games this season.
I bet you didn’t expect this to be the case at the beginning of the season.
The ASU football team won three games all last season (and three games the season before).
The team will have a chance to make it 4-0 when it faces Texas Tech in its first Big 12 Conference game in its next game on Saturday, September 21 in Lubbock, Texas.
Social media following Thursday’s game was filled with opinions about ASU’s 3-0 start, the team’s performance against Texas State, and Kenny Dillingham’s coaching performance.

I’m just so impressed with Dillingham and Co. for how they adjusted and dominated the game after being down 21-7. Short week, on the road, against a hot opponent… incredible coaching and incredible fight show from these guys 🙌 #ForksUp 😈🔱🔥🔥🔥

What a hard-fought win for Kenny Dillingham and Arizona State.

A deficit of 21:7 and a victory of 31:28 show how @KennyDillingham taught this group to overcome adversity. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall. It’s how you get back up that counts!

Arizona State, projected to finish last in the 16-team Big 12 this season, improved its record to 3-0 and now prepares to begin conference play next Saturday (9/21) at Texas Tech!

If ASU is the worst team in the Big 12, then the Big 12 must be the best conference in football. Preseason rankings are stupid. Also, classifying Dillingham as the worst coach in the Big 12 is idiotic. This is a solid football team and he is a very good coach. The future is bright.
