The footprints left in the dunes just east of ASU’s campus by Moli and his teammates seem endless, especially for the Rams’ captain and star offensive lineman who has forged as big a path as anybody the past three years.
“You can’t count how many times you go up those,” Moli said, glancing to the top of the dune. “Your freshman year, you used to count them, but now you know you have to run a lot. And if you count them, it makes it seem even longer.”
Moli and the Rams kicked off official practices for the 2013 season at 6 a.m., sprinting up and down the daunting dune for 30 minutes. The annual conditioning began in the dark of night with shooting stars streaking across the sky and ended as the sun rose above the horizon.
Mike White, who is entering his 14th season as head coach of the Rams, said it’s a tradition that is decades in the making.
