QB Taylor Kelly
Quarterback / Receiver

If any aspect is going to keep the Sun Devils in hot pursuit of another Pac 12 Championship run it will likely come from senior quarterback Taylor Kelly. Top rusher Marion Grice is no longer available and the offensive line had a miserable time protecting Taylor through all of 2013. Luckily he will have a descent set of experienced receivers running routes and catching his passes. Expect this offense to let it rip via the air next season.

Defense

All kinds of holes exist across the entire defensive depth chart. No question this is going to be a rebuilding project for third year coach Todd Graham. No team in this entire Top 25 has this many bodies to replace on one side of the football making it very difficult to project the 2014 Sun Devil team as a favorite in the Pac 12 South.
