UCF imploded in a wild sequence at the end of the first half
Picked to finish last in the Big 12, the Sun Devils are one of the biggest surprises in college football. They entered Saturday's Big 12 matchup with UCF 6-2 and bowl eligible for the first time since 2021. They're also still very much in the running for a berth in the Big 12 championship game.
Trailing 17-7 with 4:56 left in the first half, Arizona State put together its first sustained drive of the game, marching 75 yards in nine plays and scoring on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Sam Leavitt to tight end Chamon Metayer with 56 seconds left in the half. Instead of running the ball — and running out the clock — UCF coach Malzahn elected to throw the ball out of the shotgun on first down. Quarterback Dylan Rizk's pass was intercepted by ASU defensive back Laterrance Welch on the 9-yard line, and he returned it for a touchdown, giving the Sun Devils a 21-17 lead with 47 seconds left.
