"A Tongan that goes crazy every play." It's hard to top Jacob Rich Kongaika's self-description, but you should also add "multiplier." After crossing rivalry lines by transferring from Arizona to ASU last year, Kongaika quickly became a key contributor at defensive tackle, as well as a loud and jovial voice in the locker room for the Sun Devils. He's back in 2025 to provide more big hits, big laughs, and some big songs. On this episode we discuss crossing Territorial Cup lines, his football journey, planting the pitchfork in Tucson, his love of singing, the impact of the Poly pipeline and much more.

Games—and championships—are won in the trenches. For the Sun Devils, the offensive line took significant steps forward last year, paving the way to Cam Skattebo's run to history and the passing game's breakout.

Cheers isn't the only place where everyone knows your name. Arizona State's defensive line room returns nearly the entire 3-deep from last year's Big 12-winning run.

Skat's gone. What're they going to do without Skat? ASU will take a step back without Skat. The national narrative is out there, and the pundits have been doubling down on it all offseason long. We get it. What Cam Skattebo did in Tempe will never be forgotten. But what those around the nation may not realize is that the backfield cupboard is anything but bare. Kyson Brown was the Sun Devils' second back last year, and flashed his vast potential, highlighted by a 100-yard game against Arizona. This spring, the rising junior made a strong case to be the lead back for ASU, showing good power to go with his track speed. He leads a deep backfield that looks to keep the Devils' offense in high gear in 2025. On this episode, we discuss his growth heading into Year 3, the depth of the backfield, Shaun Aguano's influence, the meaning of his new number, and more.

On this episode, Molly and I discuss the origins of her devotion to defense, the pillars of a successful culture, her staff, the 2025-26 roster, her go-to move on the drive, and much more.
