Led by fifth-year head coach Dirk Koetter, the Sun Devils compiled an overall record of 7–5 with a mark of 4–4 in conference play, placing in a three-way tie for fourth place in the Pac-10. Arizona State was invited to the Insight Bowl, where the Sun Devils defeated Rutgers. The team played home games at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. The September 10 game against LSU was scheduled to be played at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but was moved to Tempe due to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center, which is just north of Tiger Stadium, was serving as a triage center for seriously injured victims from the storm. Arizona State had to grant dispensation for ESPN to televise the game, as the Pac-10 did not have a broadcast contract in place with ESPN at the time, and for the use of Southeastern Conference game officials in a Pac-10 stadium.
