In a thrilling back-and-forth contest, Arizona State edged out Texas Tech 34-27, thanks to a balanced offensive attack and key defensive stops. The Sun Devils showcased their efficiency both on the ground and through the air, amassing 396 total yards, while Texas Tech outgained them with 454 yards of offense but faltered with two crucial interceptions.
Arizona State’s ground game led the charge with 207 rushing yards, complementing 186 passing yards. The Sun Devils converted two red-zone touchdowns and added a field goal to maintain their lead in a closely contested game. While Texas Tech managed more first downs (14 to 12) and piled up 251 passing yards, their two turnovers proved costly. Arizona State’s defense remained opportunistic, capitalizing on both interceptions to limit the Red Raiders’ scoring opportunities.
Special teams played a pivotal role for both squads, with Arizona State tallying 37 yards on punt returns and 88 yards on kick returns. Texas Tech responded with 30 and 45 yards, respectively, but couldn’t quite match the Sun Devils’ offensive efficiency.
Neither team recorded a sack, and penalties were a non-factor as both teams played a disciplined game. Time of possession was almost even, with Arizona State holding a slight edge, controlling the ball for just over 15 minutes.
Ultimately, Arizona State’s ability to finish drives and force turnovers in critical moments secured the victory. Texas Tech’s 27 points, bolstered by their 197 rushing yards, kept the game close, but Arizona State’s composure in the red zone and defensive resilience were the deciding factors in this high-scoring showdown.
