ASU coach Dillingham seeks improvement despite win over Hawaii

Arizona State University (ASU) head coach Kenny Dillingham expressed dissatisfaction with his team's performance after a 30-12 victory against the University of Hawaii on October 10, 2026. Though ASU improved from a recent heavy loss to Baylor, Dillingham acknowledged areas for growth, particularly in offensive and defensive execution. Freshman running back Cardae Mack had a standout game, rushing for 154 yards and two touchdowns on his birthday. Mack's two scores showcased ASU's improved run game against a struggling Hawaii defense, which ranks low in offensive and defensive metrics. Dillingham reverted playcalling back to offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo to spur improvement after the prior defeat. ASU currently holds a 3-2 overall record and a 1-1 standing in the Big 12.
