Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson Out Against Houston in Key Big 12 Matchup

Arizona State's star wide receiver Jordyn Tyson will miss the upcoming game against the Houston Cougars due to a hamstring injury sustained in their recent win over Texas Tech. Tyson, who leads the Big 12 in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, has been a crucial offensive weapon for the Sun Devils, accounting for a significant portion of their receiving production. His absence poses a significant challenge for Arizona State's offense, which will need other players like tight end Chamon Metayer and receivers Jaren Hamilton and Derek Eusenio to step up. Quarterback Sam Leavitt, who has heavily relied on Tyson, might have to adjust his strategy to compensate for the loss. Despite the setback, Arizona State remains a 6.5-point favorite over Houston, with hopes that Leavitt's development in controlled passing will mitigate the impact of Tyson's absence. Houston, meanwhile, faces its own lineup challenges with seven players ruled out, including several wide receivers and defensive players.
