Yesterday, the Sun Devils had their first full-on scrimmage of fall camp up at Camp Tontozona. I logged all of the series and highlighted the big plays.

Read about Drew Pyne’s hamstring injury and Montana Warren’s shoulder injury:
ASU QB Drew Pyne, DB Montana Warren suffer injuries at Camp T
Here are my notes from each series. (Keep in mind that coach KennyDillingham wanted to play mostly second and third string players to get them live-game reps)
Series-by-series breakdown (highlighting who is QB and key moments)
Two-yard drill (appeared to be best-of-five)
- Bourguet first at QB with first team
- Defense wins. No TDs for offense, as there were two drops in the end zone. Highlight play was a PBU by Jordan Clark when Bourguet was trying to find Conyers over the middle
- Pyne second at QB with second team
- Two TDs by Pyne (receptions by WR Gio Sanders and RB George Hart III), but defense wins with three stops
Team series (full 11-on-11 from own 20)
- Trenton Bourguet first at QB in team series
- Goes three and out. Jordan Clark had another good pass break up
- Only full first-team 11-on-11
- Pyne second at QB in team seriesÂ
- 3 first downs, highlighted by catches by Gio Sanders
- Pyne injured sliding. Walking off under own power. Ended up being a small hamstring tear according to Dillingham.Â
- Bourguet back in at other 40-yard line on second down. Can’t make most of chance and come up with empty trip and 0 yards under Bourguet
- Jaden Rashada playing with mostly first team next possessionÂ
- Looks comfortableÂ
- Driving down field, then Torrence had a near INT. Found Conyers next play for big gain. Had good yardage to Omeire too. Clayton Smith sack.Â
- 37-yard FG by Longhetto good for first score of day for offense (yardage wrong in tweet)

- After special teams drills, Rashada back in at QB with mostly second and third team
- Kyson Brown rips off long run to start
- Good defense prevents score (in FG range but didn’t kick)
- Rashada another set at QB with mostly the 2nd and 3rd teamÂ
- He picked up one first down, but a sack by Anthony Ruiz on third down on the next set of downs gives ball away.Â
- Bourguet back in at QB with mostly second and third team
- Big connection right away to Omeire then another on next play to Andre Johnson to get past the 50
- Next set of downs: PBU by Roman Rashada, Bourguet scrambles on 4th down but doesn’t get enough. Turnover
- Rashada in next series
- Drives down the field, looks comfortable. He throws the first TD of the day to Shawn Charles on around a 42-yard deep ball that was called back. However, he finds Charles again on next play for a TD from about 47 yards out
First TD in the team series. Jaden Rashada finds Shawn Charles on a deep ball. They also connected for a TD on the play right before but it was called back due to penalty. Brock Osweiler and the rest of the #ArizonaState team loved it. #ForksUp pic.twitter.com/wX9Pcyj7hO

- Rashada in againÂ
- Drives down field but unable to convert on 4th downÂ
Defense wins the day easily. A lot of sloppy play and penalties throughout the day, but wouldn’t expect otherwise in first scrimmage.
Standouts (touched on in video)
- After Drew Pyne went down with an injury, Jaden Rashada took advantage of a larger role. Looked poised and led his team to a 37-yard FG, including a good connection to Conyers. Dillingham thought he grew and gave him lots of reps to learn how to play in a game situation. Hard to tell where QB situation stands depending on Pyne’s injury severity
- Jordan Clark had good PBU in 2-yard drill and deflected third down pass on first full team
- Gio Sanders getting second team reps in the slot but making most of opportunities (Melquan Stovall and him rotated a little bit, but Stovall got most of first team reps). TD on 2-yard drill with second team. Good catch and runs in his first team drill
See what Dillingham had to say about his team’s play yesterday:
