Arizona State's home win over Hawai'i in Tempe gave the Sun Devils a way to respond after a 55-19 loss to Baylor. Hawai'i entered the matchup with only one victory, making the game a notable opportunity for ASU to steady itself. The report's focus on newcomers reflects a broader college football interest in how new players adjust and contribute during a season.
