ASU quarterback Sam Leavitt threw for 222 yards, completing 24 of 46 passes, along with an ill-timed interception to end the second OT. On the other side, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for 322 yards and accounted for three TDs and one interception. But the player of the game was easily ASU running back Cam Skattebo, whose toughness and gladiator effort nearly won the game. He rushed for 143 yards and two TDs, and caught eight passes for another 99 yards.
The one thing that I know about our group is when our backs are against the wall and when our best is needed, our best shows up time and time again. The resiliency that these guys showed today was something that as a coach makes you really proud.
But Texas ultimately came out ahead, thanks to Ewers’s touchdown pass to Gunnar Helm and a two-point conversion to Matthew Golden. Andrew Mukuba eventually put a capper on things with his game-sealing interception.
Arizona State should feel proud not only for playing their hearts out and proving their own resilience, but for doing their part to redeem the expanded playoff field.
