Arizona State Defeats BYU 28-23 in Thriller

In a thrilling game, No. 21 Arizona State (9-2) narrowly defeated No. 14 BYU (9-2) with a final score of 28-23, securing their chance at a Big 12 Championship game. After leading 21-3 at halftime, ASU faced a fierce comeback from BYU, culminating in a last-second Hail Mary attempt that fell incomplete. The drama peaked when ASU fans rushed the field prematurely, believing the game was over, only for officials to rule one second remained on the clock. Star running back Cam Skattebo excelled with 147 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while BYU's QB Jake Retzlaff threw for 297 yards but made critical errors, including two interceptions. With this win, ASU remains in contention for the College Football Playoff, whereas BYU's championship hopes dimmed significantly. ASU coach Kenny Dillingham humorously noted that they got to celebrate on the field twice in one game.
