The Sun Devils had their greatest success in the 1960s and 1970s under head coach Frank Kush. In that 22-year stretch, they compiled a 176–54–1 record, putting Arizona State on the college football map. From 1969 to 1971, the team put together a school-record 21-game winning streak. In 1996, however, the Sun Devils came within a matter of seconds of pulling out a win in the Rose Bowl against Ohio Statemarker that would have given them an undefeated season and possibly a share of the national championship.

The team plays its home games at Sun Devil Stadiummarker, which currently has a capacity of 71,706.
