Overview

  • Sam Leavitt passed for 278 yards and two touchdowns, finding Jordyn Tyson eight times for 126 yards to fuel the rally.
  • Raleek Brown added 147 rushing yards as the Sun Devils outgained the Horned Frogs and sustained drives after a slow start.
  • After Tyson’s 4-yard score with 1:50 left, Prince Dorbah’s strip sack set up Jesus Gomez’s winning 23-yard kick at 1:14, and Martell Hughes sealed it with an interception.
  • TCU led 17-0 on short fields with rushing TDs by Trent Battle and Jeremy Payne plus a field goal, then faltered with three turnovers and little success on the ground, as Sonny Dykes acknowledged.
  • Heavy wind and a backup punter’s short kicks hurt ASU’s field position and two earlier misses by Gomez underscored ongoing short-yardage red-zone issues; next up is a visit to Utah on Oct. 11 after a bye.
