First quarter

Utah 6, Arizona State 6

2:04 – Arizona State, behind its redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Leavitt, had an impressive drive to tie the game.

Leavitt hit Jordyn Tyson for a 26-yard touchdown pass, with Tyson taking a short pass and running the final 10 yards before diving in for the touchdown. However, ASU missed the extra point. Utah 6, Arizona State 6.

Leavitt converted a third-and-long and a fourth-and-7 with his legs to keep the drive alive. On the fourth down play, he spun out of a collapsing pocket and picked up 9 yards on the play before the touchdown play. It was an 11-play, 81-yard drive.

7:12 – Utah added another Cole Becker field goal, this one from 40 yards, off an Arizona State turnover. Utah 6, Arizona State 0.

The Sun Devils turned the ball over when Logan Fano hit Sam Leavitt while trying to pass, and the short, errant pass was picked off with one hand by Junior Tafuna as he fought off a block at the Arizona State 28.

9:57 – Utah’s first drive under Cam Rising reached the Arizona State 29 before stalling. The 12-play, 46-yard drive ended with a 48-yard Cole Becker field goal. Utah 3, Arizona State 0.

Rising completed 1 of 5 passes for 9 yards on the drive, while Micah Bernard ran for 19 yards on three carries to pace the Utes.

There is one concern, though: Rising was rolled up early in the drive when he took a hit and has been limping ever since.

3:00 PM — It’s official: Cam Rising is back for the Utes.

He’s on the field for Utah’s first drive.
