Breakdown (95 minutes)     (1:56) Thin numbers and injuries during spring practice have made it challenging to get a true read on ASU football, but nonetheless, we’ll provide our takeaways from the various position groups, and discuss which players are cementing their depth chart position thus far.

What are the potential implications here concerning an inconsistent squad?   (58:47) Mailbag time: Answering our DevilsDigest.com’s subscribers and Twitter followers' questions.
