The ASU victory…

• Improved the Sun Devils’ record to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the Big 12.
• Extended ASU’s series lead over Colorado to 12-4 
• Gave ASU three-straight home wins after victories over Hawai‘i and Kansas State.
• Gives Arizona State a 4-1 home record this season.
• Moved ASU within one victory of bowl eligibility with three regular-season games remaining
• Helped the Sun Devils avoid losing consecutive regular-season games for the first time since the final two games of the 2023 campaign
• Kept the Sun Devils from dropping below .500 in the second half of the season for the first time since 2023.

Amazing Jake

• Jake Fette channeled his inner Jake Plummer, fittingly on the night the 1996 Rose Bowl team was honored in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the historic campaign. 
• Fette became the first Sun Devil quarterback since Jake Plummer to catch a touchdown and throw for a touchdown in the game. 
• Plummer did it against UCLA on Oct. 12, 1996 in an iconic performance in which he led the Sun Devils to a dramatic 13-point fourth-quarter comeback victory. 
• Fette finished with 213 total yards (187 passing, 26 rushing) and two total touchdowns in only his second career start.

Copy Skatt

• Freshman running back Cardae Mack did his best Cam Skattebo impression, doing a little bit of everything in Arizona State’s 20-10 win over Colorado. 
• He threw his first career touchdown pass to freshman quarterback Jake Fette, becoming the first Sun Devil since Cam Skattebo in the Peach Bowl against Texas on Jan. 1, 2025.
• Mack also finished with 97 total yards (80 rushing; 17 receiving), moving him up the freshman rushing single-season record list.
• Mack now has 603 rushing yards this season and is only 268 yards away from breaking the freshman single-season program record.
• Over his past three games, he has combined for 73 carries for 359 yards and four touchdowns. 
• It is the most carries over a three-game span since Cam Skattebo had 74 during the 2024 season (Kansas State, BYU, Arizona). 
• The 73 carries by Mack during this three-game stretch are the most by a Power 5 true freshman running back since Minnesota’s Darius Taylor had 86 over three games in 2023

Reed all about him

• Senior wide receiver Reed Harris had a big bounce back game and showed off the chemistry he has built with freshman quarterback Jake Fette. 
• He finished with four catches for 103 yards and a touchdown in the 20-10 win over Colorado.
• It is the third time with at least 100+ yards AND a touchdown as a Sun Devil this season. 
• It was his seventh career game hitting the century mark and he surpassed 2,000 career receiving yards, now having 2,068 in his collegiate career.
• In 25 career games at Boston College, Harris had two 100-yard games. In nine games as a Sun Devil, he already has eclipsed the century mark five times.
• Harris now has 907 receiving yards this season and nine touchdowns, both ranked fifth in ASU program history through nine games in a season.

• Coming into today, Smith had 1.5 career sacks in 23 games and double that total on Saturday alone. 

Middle of the lineup

• Martell Hughes also added 11 tackles for his fourth double-digit tackle game this season

• Entering the game the duo had 136 of the team’s 500 tackles this season (27.2 percent).
• ASU got some added boost at the position in spot duty from Prayer Young-Blackgoat, who recorded two tackles for loss and a fourth-down stuff at the line of scrimmage for his three tackles on the night
