“Our kicking game is horrible, so if you can kick and you’re at Arizona State, send me an email,” Dillingham said. “We’ve got kick-out tryouts on Monday, so bring it on. Kick-out tryouts on Monday, let’s go. … I’m dead serious. We’re going to put it on our social media, we’re going to have a kick-out tryout on Monday. We have to find someone who can make a field goal.”

With the Sun Devils trailing by 10, they missed field goals on each of their final two offensive drives of Saturday’s game.

Hershey’s first miss was from 48 yards out, and he followed with an errant shot on a 41-yard field goal.

Entering Saturday’s game, Hershey was just 7-for-10 on field goals this season, but the two misses put him at an abysmal 58.3 percent field goal percentage on the year.

Hershey also kicked at Idaho State in 2022, making seven of his 11 field goals. He didn’t make a single field goal attempt last season after transferring to ASU.

The Sun Devils also have another kicker in freshman Carston Kieffer, who has made four of his five extra point attempts and missed his only field goal attempt this season.

The loss dropped Arizona State to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 on the year, but the team is still moving in the right direction.

In 2022, the Sun Devils went 3-9 in Herm Edwards’ final year at the helm, and they followed up with another 3-9 campaign under Dillingham last season.

Arizona State has already shown tremendous improvement, and is just one win away from bowl eligibility.

However, continued misery could hurt the Sun Devils going forward, and it’s clear that Dillingham is willing to go to any lengths to stabilize that aspect of the team.
