Jeff Sims Sets ASU QB Rushing Record in 24-19 Win at Iowa State

The sixth-year starter stepped in for injured Sam Leavitt to keep the Sun Devils on track in the Big 12 race.

Overview

  • Sims rushed for 228 yards to break the program mark for a quarterback and finished with 405 total yards and three touchdowns.
  • An 88-yard third-quarter touchdown run by Sims pushed Arizona State ahead 24-16 and proved decisive.
  • Iowa State’s last drive ended a yard short on fourth-and-6 at the ASU 20 with 16 seconds remaining.
  • The Cyclones dropped to 5-4 with a fourth straight loss as tight end Benjamin Brahmer was carted off with an undisclosed injury.
  • Arizona State improved to 6-3 (4-2 Big 12) heading into a bye week, with penalties and special-teams miscues still an issue.
