The Arizona State football team is 3-0 on the season after rallying to defeat Texas State in San Marcos, Texas, on Thursday night, 31-28.
The Sun Devils are the first FBS team to win three games this season.
Bet you didn’t predict that would be the case entering the season.
ASU football won three games all of last season (and three games the season before that).
It will have a chance to move to 4-0 when it takes on Texas Tech in its next game on Saturday, Sept. 21 in Lubbock, Texas in its first Big 12 Conference game.
Social media had thoughts on ASU’s 3-0 start as well as the team’s performance against Texas State and the coaching performance from Kenny Dillingham after the game Thursday.

Being down 21-7 and winning 31-28 shows how @KennyDillingham instilled overcoming adversity in this squad. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down. It’s how you get back up!

Arizona State, picked to finish dead last in the 16-team Big 12 this season, has moved to 3-0 as they get ready to enter conference play at Texas Tech next Saturday (9/21)!

If ASU is the worst team in the Big 12, the Big 12 must be the best conference in football. Preseason rankings are stupid. Ranking Dillingham as the worst coach in the Big 12 as well is idiotic. This is a solid football team and he’s a very good coach. Futures bright.

Not a bad way to start the season, huh?
