Heading into next season, there is certainly a large amount of top quality teams that return the jest of their players but lose the all-important man behind center. Arizona State is not exempt from this list. The rest of the depth chart is full of returning upper classmen. This past season ASU's senior class possessed 11 members - a tally that ranks tied for the second fewest total among all Division I institutions. Yet the Sun Devils were still just one game short of winning the Pac 12 South, losing to Arizona in the season finale. Kelly's replacement Bercovici might not have the same scrambling ability, but he's shown he possess a stronger arm and has proved he can deliver on a big stage. Former RB D.J. Foster has shifted over to receiver with the departure of Jaelen Strong for the NFL. ASU is also without Cameron Smith, who will miss the season with a knee injury. There is plenty of talent and most important, depth on the defensive side. There won't be a drop off after two straight 10-win seasons.
