The Sun Devils running back is flourishing as a kick returner. But he has seen more losses this season than in his three high school seasons combined.
Arizona State running back Daniyel Ngata has already experienced more losses this season than he did in his three varsity seasons at Folsom High School combined.
"I haven't had a losing season like this since little league," Ngata said, after practice earlier this week."It's funny because, well it's not really funny, but every game I lost in little league, I think we went like 2-and-something. Hopefully not this year, pray to God — but every game we lost in little league, I was crying. I don't know why I was just thinking about that, but I just hate losing.
But Ngata doesn't try to mask the disappointment he feels with what has transpired this season. The Sun Devils will attempt to snap a four-game losing streak when they"I don't know, I'm just on a different aspect as everybody else, on a different mindset," Ngata said."I just think about when I was little and it also goes back to the purpose of why I do this. It's sick just feeling like a loser. My parents also come to my games, like it's tough looking at them.
The Sun Devils added Wyoming transfer Xazavian Valladay to bolster the depleted backfield and it is he and Ngata that have been shouldering the load.“I appreciate that he's a competitor," Thomas said."And X is kind of the same way. Both those guys in that room are competitors. They want to be out there. They want to contribute. They want to be a part of the success. So I appreciate that and respect that. And I think that's partly why those guys are so successful.
