Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham apologized on social media Saturday night for his postgame criticism of starting placekicker Ian Hershey, who missed two fourth-quarter kicks as the Sun Devils tried to mount a comeback against Cincinnati.

Although Dillingham didn't directly mention Hershey's name, he was extremely critical of his team's kicking action after the 24-14 loss. Dillingham said the team will hold kicking tryouts on Monday.

“I would like to apologize in my press conference after the game. I talked about our kicking game, like I do on offense/defense. However, the kick game is always directed at one player. I shouldn't have done that and I apologize. This team's losses. “#SunDevil4LIFE will always be 100% on myself,” Dillingham wrote.

Dillingham would definitely like to have that postgame press conference again, as he vented his frustration by picking a player coming off a hard-fought loss to the Bearcats.

Arizona State is now 5-2 and 2-2 in the Big 12. The Sun Devils play next week before visiting Oklahoma State in Stillwater on November 2nd.
