The Arizona State Sun Devils are beginning a new journey in the Big 12 this season. Head coach Kenny Dillingham led them to a disappointing 3-9 overall campaign last year. Now, they are looking to at least qualify for the bowl games in their debut Big 12 campaign.

After securing victories against Wyoming and Mississippi State, Arizona State took on the Texas State Bobcats on Thursday. Dillingham and his team successfully maintained their winning streak and secured their third straight victory of the season after defeating the Bobcats 31-28.

Following the victory, fans took to social media to react to Arizona State's winning streak and formidable season.

One fan stated that the Sun Devils are performing better than what fans expected out of them in the Big 12.

"Arizona State has guts. Didn't win it the way the normally do but found a way. Dillingham overachieving early."

Another fan is impressed with the Sun Devils' performance this season compared to last year's 3-9 campaign.

"I mean, they'll take it. They won 3 games last year. They don't normally win. This is really, really impressive. Did not have Dillingham showing signs of life liks this in year 2 on my bingo card for this season. Good for him."

This fan believes Kenny Dillingham's team has the capabilities to qualify for the bowl games this season.

"Respect. They have a shot at 8-4 tbh."

Another fan praised Dillingham's ability to create a good team and his talents as a coach.

"Dillingham is for real. Just look at how many transfers are on that team and how he brought them together so quickly when no one gave them a shot at doing such this season."

This fan heaped praise on Arizona State's performance against Texas State and wished them the best of luck for the rest of the season.

"Great win. Not an easy one. This kind of win builds confidence. Enjoy the long break. Get healthy. Prepare for another tough game."

For the Sun Devils, this is the first time since 2019 that they have gone 3-0 to being a season. The victory against the Bobcats will definitely boost the team's confidence in qualifying for the bowl games in Dillingham's second season as the head coach.
