In Napier's first year at the helm of the Sun Devil offense, ASU posted the 14th highest-graded offense in the FBS this season according to Pro Football Focus - including the 10th highest-graded passing attack in the nation. This is notable as ASU was graded 54th in the nation in total offense last season and 86th in the passing game on the year. The offensive turnaround (+40 positions) was the eighth-largest in the FBS this season and ASU was one of just three programs to move from outside the Top-50 to inside of it in just one season. The 76-spot swing in the passing game rankings was the third highest in all of the FBS (second among Power Five schools).

ASU has developed one of the elite red zone scoring teams in the nation under Napier, tied for first nationally in converting on 95.83 percent of its red zone appearances this season (46-of-48). However, the Devils took a knee in the red zone in the final seconds of the team's victories over fifth-ranked Washington and in the Territorial Cup contest against Arizona - the only two "blemishes" against the Sun Devils this season. ASU sits 11th nationally in red zone touchdown scoring with 36 touchdowns on those 48 attempts (75.00).

Ball security was another notable facet of Napier's offense. The Sun Devils have turned the ball over just 11 times this season, a total good for 12th nationally. ASU finished 82nd in the country a year ago with 21 turnovers. ASU is 17th nationally with just five fumbles lost this season, and none of those have been by a running back. ASU's six total interceptions this season are the 17th-fewest in the country, and three occurred on tipped balls.

Manny Wilkins , who needs just 82 more passing yards to become only the ninth Sun Devil in history to reach 3,000 passing yards in a season. Wilkins, who earned Pac-12 All-Conference honors this season, is under 100 yards from moving into ASU's all-time Top-10 in career passing yards. Wilkins finished the regular season with 2,918 yards and 17 touchdowns.

One of the most accurate passers in the nation and in the history of Sun Devil football, Wilkins broke the school record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception at 192 dating back to last season before his first quarter interception against Stanford, breaking Rudy Carpenter's previous school record of 149 from the end of 2005 to 2006.

Wilkins has just five interceptions this season (three of which have come on tipped balls). This number is notable as only one other time in the Pac-12 era has a quarterback had 5 or fewer interceptions in a season where they started over 75 percent of the games (Taylor Kelly with 5 on 278 attempts in 2014, missed three games). In fact, outside of Kelly, no quarterback in Sun Devil history with at least 275 attempts in a season had fewer than seven interceptions (Wilkins is currently at 370).

Wilkins has shown what he can do in a clean pocket this season, ranked 12th nationally with a 70.8 completion percentage when there's been no pressure this season - good for second in the Pac-12.
