First Quarter


Both teams started cautiously, each managing only a field goal. The Sun Devils' kicker, Jesus Gomez, showcased his accuracy by converting from long range. This initial exchange set the stage for what would become an intense battle on the field.


Second Quarter


The second quarter saw the home team take control of the game. Arizona State's offense found its rhythm as quarterback Sam Leavitt connected effectively with his receivers, including Jordyn Tyson who made significant gains downfield. The highlight was Raleek Brown's electrifying 75-yard rushing touchdown that left Texas State's defense scrambling and gave ASU a comfortable lead going into halftime.


Third Quarter


In response, Texas State attempted to claw back into contention with two touchdowns in the third quarter but failed to convert extra points efficiently. Meanwhile, ASU continued their offensive assault; Leavitt threw two touchdown passes that further extended their lead and demonstrated his precision under pressure.


Fourth Quarter


Despite a valiant effort from Texas State in the final quarter where they added another six points to their tally, it was not enough to overcome ASU’s solid defense led by players like Keyshaun Elliott and Jordan Crook who combined for multiple tackles and sacks throughout the game.


The Arizona State Sun Devils vs Texas State Bobcats final score reflected not just dominance but also strategic prowess on both sides of play—offense and defense—by ASU. Post-game reactions from Arizona State Sun Devils coach highlighted satisfaction with both execution and discipline shown by his players during this matchup.
