Sam Leavitt passed for a career-high 319 yards and a touchdown, running back Raleek Brown scored on a 1-yard run with 34 seconds left and Arizona State blew a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter before recovering for a 26-22 upset over No. 7 Texas Tech in a Big 12 game Saturday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz.<\/p>\n
The Sun Devils went 75 yards in 1:26 for the winning score after Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond led the Red Raiders to a pair of touchdowns in the final 3:45 for a 22-19 lead.<\/p>\n
Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson had 10 receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown as the defending Big 12 champion Sun Devils (5-2, 3-1 in Big 12) posted their first victory over an AP top-10 team since beating No. 6 Oregon 31-28 in 2019.
A pass interference penalty gave Arizona State the ball at the Texas Tech 2 with 40 seconds remaining, and Brown scored two plays later.<\/p>\n
The Red Raiders (6-1, 3-1) played without starting quarterback Behren Morton, who aggravated a lower leg injury in a 42-17 victory over Kansas last week. They had never trailed in a game this season and had outscored their first six opponents by an average of 35.3 points a game.<\/p>\n
Hammond completed 22 for 37 passes for 167 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in his second career start.<\/p>\n
Hammond scored on a 1-yard run with 3:45 remaining to cut the Red Raiders\u2019 deficit to 19-14. Less than two minutes later, he followed his 12-yard scoring pass to Reggie Virgil with a two-point conversion run with 2:00 remaining.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech reached the Arizona State 28-yard line with three seconds remaining, but Hammond\u2019s pass to the deep left corner of the end zone was tipped and fell incomplete.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech became the fifth undefeated FBS team to lose this weekend, joining Miami, Mississippi, UNLV and Memphis.<\/p>\n
Jesus Gomez made all four field goal attempts for the Sun Devils. His 28-yarder to cap a 16-play, 69-yard drive made it 19-7 in the first minute of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
His 34-yarder with 1:43 remaining in the first quarter gave the Sun Devils a 3-0 lead and his 47-yarder one minute into the second quarter made it 6-0.<\/p>\n
Hammond completed a 30-yard touchdown pass to Coy Eakin with 5:57 remaining in the first half for a 7-6 lead after Texas Tech was set up when Leavitt\u2019s long pass to Tyson on fourth-and-1 fell incomplete.<\/p>\n
Gomez\u2019s 26-yard field goal made it 9-7 at halftime.<\/p>\n
Leavitt hit Tyson on a 2-yard score for a 16-7 lead, three plays after David Bailey was called for roughing the passer, negating a fourth-down incompletion that would have turned the ball over on downs.<\/p>\n
