ASU football’s Kenny Dillingham calls for kicker tryouts: ‘Email me’

Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham caused a stir on social media after his team’s 24-14 loss to Cincinnati Saturday when he said his team would have tryouts on Monday in search of a field goal for the Sun Devils.

“Our kicking game is horrible,” Dillingham told the media. “If you can kick and you’re in Arizona State, shoot me an email. We have kick tryouts on Monday. So bring it on. Kick tryouts on Monday. Let’s go. Yeah, I I’m serious about it. We’re going to put it on our social media, we’re going to do a kickout on Monday. We have to find someone who can make a field goal.”

ASU’s Ian Hershey missed a field goal attempt from 48 yards and 41 yards in the fourth quarter in Saturday’s loss that would have brought ASU within a touchdown.

But the misses destroyed any chance the Sun Devils had of getting back into the game against the Bearcats.
