Overview
- Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham said Tuesday after practice in London that Kansas arrived with extra rest time because it played Friday while ASU flew directly from a Saturday game in Texas.
- Dillingham said ASU chose to fly immediately after the loss to Texas A&M to avoid losing practices and that the schedule difference is something he "doesn't love."
- The coach has largely sequestered himself at the team hotel to prepare, saying he "didn't sleep the first 36 hours" in London as the Sun Devils focus on the Week 3 game.
- Dillingham also said there is "zero advantage" from playing an international Week 3 game but stressed he would not deny players the chance to experience London and Wembley.
- The matchup is set for Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Arizona time on FS1, and organizers say the Union Jack Classic at Wembley is planned to continue as an annual event despite the travel and preparation challenges.
