Arizona State Upsets No. 16 Kansas State 24-14

Arizona State University (ASU) football achieved a significant 24-14 victory over No. 16 Kansas State, marking their best season start since 2013 with an 8-2 record. The Sun Devils dominated the first half, leading 21-0, and held Kansas State scoreless, a feat not accomplished at home by the Wildcats since 2018. ASU's quarterback Sam Leavitt threw three touchdown passes, two of which were caught by Jordyn Tyson, while the defense, led by Xavion Alford, made crucial interceptions and forced turnovers. This victory not only boosts ASU's chances for a conference title but also serves as a statement against skepticism surrounding the program. Coach Kenny Dillingham emphasized the team's motivation stemming from being underestimated. ASU now prepares for a pivotal Homecoming game against BYU, aiming to maintain their momentum.
