ASU Football Upsets No. 7 Texas Tech With Late Game-Winning Drive

Arizona State University (ASU) football secured a thrilling 26-22 victory over No. 7 Texas Tech, with sophomore quarterback Sam Leavitt leading a critical late-game drive. Despite trailing by three points with two minutes remaining, Leavitt masterfully guided the Sun Devils on a 75-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by a clutch 33-yard fourth-down pass to Jordyn Tyson. This win marked ASU's first triumph over a top-10 team since 2019 and extended their home winning streak to ten games. Leavitt, overcoming a recent foot injury, threw for a career-high 319 yards and demonstrated mobility to evade Texas Tech's formidable defense. ASU's defense also played a pivotal role, limiting the Red Raiders to their lowest yardage and point totals of the season and holding strong on critical third and fourth downs late in the game. Head coach Kenny Dillingham praised Leavitt's competitiveness and resilience, emphasizing the team's physical and disciplined performance in bouncing back from a previous loss to Utah.
