ASU Coach Dillingham Blames Self After 55-19 Baylor Rout

Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham admitted he is 'letting our football team down' following a 55-19 loss to Baylor, citing poor execution and a failure to maximize player talent. The Sun Devils struggled with turnovers, including a fumble by Omarion Miller and an interception by Cutter Boley, while failing to convert seven red zone visits into touchdowns. Despite the defeat, Dillingham confirmed Boley will remain the starting quarterback, emphasizing that the team must improve fundamentals rather than making drastic changes. ASU now sits at 2-2 overall and 1-1 in Big 12 play, with their next game scheduled against Texas Tech on October 17.
