BYU and ASU Face Off With Big 12 Title Hopes on the Line

The sold-out clash in Tempe will determine which team advances in the race for the Big 12 championship and a potential College Football Playoff spot.

Arizona State (8-2) and BYU (9-1) meet Saturday in a pivotal matchup that will eliminate one team from Big 12 title contention.
The game, held at America Stadium, marks the 29th meeting between the teams, with ASU holding a 20-8 series advantage.
Both teams have exceeded preseason expectations, with ASU picked last and BYU 13th in the Big 12 preseason poll, now ranked No. 21 and No. 14 respectively in the College Football Playoff rankings.
BYU boasts a strong defense, leading the Big 12 in interceptions, while ASU’s offense is powered by standout freshman quarterback Sam Leavitt and receiver Jordyn Tyson.
ASU remains undefeated at home this season, while BYU looks to rebound after a narrow loss to Kansas that ended their unbeaten streak.
