Sam Leavitt threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns, Jordyn Tyson had 12 catches for 176 yards and two of the scores, and Arizona State held off No. 16 Kansas State 24-14 on Saturday night. The Sun Devils improved to 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the Big 12, and remained in the picture for the conference title game.

Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson celebrates after scoring a touchdown during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Kansas State Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024, in Manhattan, Kan.
Cam Skattebo returned from an injury to run for 73 yards, and the Sun Devils built a 21-0 halftime lead, before Kenny Dillingham’s team held on for a third straight win to remain in contention for the Big 12 championship game. The bumbling Wildcats, who turned the ball over three times and failed to get the snap down on two field-goal tries, sure didn’t look like a conference title contender that had last week off to prepare for the Sun Devils.
Arizona State capitalized on all the mistakes. Leavitt found Tyson for the second time from 30 yards out for a 14-0 lead, then hit wide open Chamon Metayer from 16 yards out to make it 21-0 early in the second quarter.
