Exciting news for Arizona State fans as the Sun Devils marked their first game in the Big 12 Conference with a dominant win over Wyoming. Led by quarterback Sam Leavitt, who threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns, Arizona State showcased their strength and determination on the field.
The game started with a bang as Zyrus Fiaseu intercepted Wyoming’s Evan Svoboda just 41 seconds into the game and returned it for a touchdown. The Sun Devils continued to dominate with a strong defensive performance, forcing turnovers and capitalizing on field position to build a commanding lead.
With a 27-0 advantage at halftime and a final score of 48-7, Arizona State’s victory was a true team effort. Cam Skattebo and DeCarlos Brooks both contributed with rushing touchdowns, while the defense held Wyoming to just 118 total yards.
