Arizona State 13, Utah 9
All things considered, the Utes are still in this one.
Cam Rising doesn’t look like himself, and he’s not mobile after taking an early hit. He completed 7 of 20 passes for 97 yards and an interception in the first half.
On the other side, Sam Leavitt threw for 99 yards and ran for 22 yards to pace the Arizona State offense. Leavitt missed several minutes after taking a hard hit, but he came back on the field to kneel out the half.
The Sun Devils have 180 yards of total offense to 148 for Utah.
Arizona State 13, Utah 9
0:23 — Cole Becker’s third field goal of the first half, this one from 29 yards, came in the final minute of the first half. Arizona State 13, Utah 9.
Utah again stalled in the red zone after another impressive drive, though this time the Utes were able to come away with points. Dorian Singer caught an underthrown ball for 35 yards on third down to move the ball inside the ASU red zone.
4:20 — Utah’s red-zone struggles continued, as Cam Rising was intercepted by Caleb McCullough at the ASU 9. McCullough reached high to snag the pick on a pass that appeared to be intended for Dorian Singer.
The Utes had driven 52 yards in seven plays before the turnover.
8:38 — The Sun Devils went into lead, even if their starting quarterback, Sam Leavitt, went out after taking a hard hit.
Backup Jeff Sims scored on a 2-yard run for the Sun Devils’ second straight touchdown drive. This time, the extra point was good. Arizona State 13, Utah 6.
It was a long, time-killing drive: Arizona State moved the ball 72 yards on 13 plays and took 7:27 off the clock.
Utah 6, Arizona State 6
2:04 — Arizona State, behind its redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Leavitt, had an impressive drive to tie the game.
Leavitt hit Jordyn Tyson for a 26-yard touchdown pass where Tyson took a short pass and ran the final 10 yards before diving in for the touchdown. ASU, though, missed the extra point. Utah 6, Arizona State 6.
Leavitt converted a third and long and a fourth and 7 with his legs to keep the drive alive. On the fourth-down play, he spun out of a collapsing pocket and picked up 9 yards on the play before the touchdown play. It was an 11-play, 81-yard drive.
7:12 — Utah added another Cole Becker field goal, this one from 40 yards, off an Arizona State turnover. Utah 6, Arizona State 0.
The Sun Devils turned it over when Logan Fano hit Sam Leavitt as he tried to pass, and the short, errant pass was picked off by Junior Tafuna with one hand as he fought off a block at the Arizona State 28.
9:57 — Utah’s first drive under Cam Rising reached the Arizona State 29 before stalling. The 12-play, 46-yard drive ended with a 48-yard Cole Becker field goal. Utah 3, Arizona State 0.
Rising completed 1 of 5 passes for 9 yards on the drive, while Micah Bernard ran for 19 yards on three carries to pace the Utes.
One area of concern, though — Rising was rolled up on taking a hit early in the drive and has been limping ever since.
15:00 — It’s official — Cam Rising is back for the Utes.
He is on the field for Utah’s first drive.
