Arizona State Football Keeps Big 12 Title Hopes Alive with Victory Over Kansas State

In a thrilling matchup on Saturday, Arizona State football secured a crucial 24-14 victory against No. 16 Kansas State, keeping their hopes alive for a spot in the Big 12 title game. With this win, the Sun Devils improved their season record to 8-2, including a solid 5-2 in conference play.

The victory, however, does not guarantee Arizona State a ticket to the championship; they will need some assistance from the teams currently ahead of them in the Big 12 standings. No. 6 BYU, boasting a perfect 9-0 record with a 6-0 conference mark, and No. 17 Colorado, with an 8-2 record and 6-1 in the Big 12, are the teams the Sun Devils will be watching closely. Earlier on Saturday, Colorado secured a win against Utah, while BYU faced an early challenge at home against Kansas.

Looking ahead, the stakes could not be higher for Arizona State as they prepare for their home finale against BYU next week. If BYU were to lose to Kansas, the upcoming clash at Mountain America Stadium would be monumental, potentially serving as a play-in game for the Big 12 Championship. The Sun Devils are eager to seize this opportunity and capitalize on their momentum from Saturday’s win.

As the season heads into its final stretch, Arizona State football remains in the hunt for the title, demonstrating resilience and determination in their quest for conference glory. Fans can expect an electric atmosphere next week as the Sun Devils aim to secure a pivotal win against one of the nation’s top teams.
