QUICK HITS…

  • Arizona State finished with six tackles for loss, the second-straight game they had six or more stops behind the line of scrimmage.
    • It is the first time accomplishing the feat in back-to-back games since recording eight at Cal (9/30) and nine vs Colorado (10/7) in 2023.
  • Jesus Gomez nailed a 51-yard field goal to end the first half. He is the first Sun Devil to make a 50+-yard field goal since Dario Longhetto had a 51-yarder vs Washington State Oct. 28, 2023.
    • Gomez now has seven field goals of 50+-yards in his career (6 at Eastern Michigan, 1 at ASU).
  • ASU had a eight-play, 75-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown that chewed 4:26 off the clock to begin the second half. They did not attempt a pass during the drive, running for all 75 yards with three different players going over 20 yards.
    • Raleek Brown accounted for 26 yards
    • Kanye Udoh accounted for 28 yards
    • Sam Leavitt accounted for 21 yards
  • Captains for Arizona State were Keith Abney, Jordan Crook, Malik McClain, and Tupelo, Mississippi native Kyson Brown.
  • The Sun Devils punted on their opening drive for the first time since Nov. 11, 2023 at UCLA, ending a streak of 17-straight games where the team did not punt on its first offensive drive of the game. ASU had scored touchdowns on 10 of those and field goals on three others. 
  • Mississippi State received the opening kickoff and quickly drove downfield for the first score of the game, the first time an opponent had scored first against ASU since Nov. 9, 2024 vs. UCF - ending a six-game streak of scoring first. 
  • ASU was held scoreless in a first quarter for the first time since Sept. 21, 2024 at Texas Tech, ending a streak of 11-straight games scoring in the first quarter
  • Since 2018, ASU has held opponents to the 400 or less mark for total offensive yards on 48 occasions over 83 games (57.8 percent of the time). For comparison, ASU accomplished the feat just 24 times in the 65 previous games (36.9 percent) from 2013-2017.
  • ASU has  held opponents to 30 points or less in 55 of 83 games since 2018 (66.3 percent). This is notable as it DID allow 30+ in 32 of the 43 previous games (74.4 percent) in a span from 2013- 17.
  • ASU has outscored opponents 107-19 in the “middle eight” of games since the start of last year and 20-3 in that frame this year. 
  • It was the second time in ASU’s last five games dating back to last season that the team had two separate players rush for over 100 yards (Raleek Brown, 110, and Kanye Udoh, 105). That’s notable as the Sun Devils had not accomplished that feat since the 2015 season prior.
  • ASU held Mississippi State to just 66 rushing yards, marking the 14th time in 28 games under Kenny Dillingham and Brian Ward holding an opponent to under 100 rushing yards. Between the 2018-2022 season, it had happened 13 times in 55 games
