Brad Denny over at SB Nation's Arizona State blog House of Sparky notes that the surprise decision by Osweiler is just one surprise of many in what's being labeled a "tumultuous time in Sun Devil football history."
Osweiler's decision is the latest occurrence in perhaps the most tumultuous time in Sun Devil football history. A season ending four-game losing streak necessitated the firing of head coach Dennis Erickson, and the resulting search was a disaster that ended with key assistants lost and the surprising hiring of Graham. A blowout loss in the Maaco bowl to Boise State was preceded by suspensions to Jamal Miles and Junior Onyeali, and most recently, Onyeali was suspended indefinitely by Todd Graham.
