TEMPE, Ariz. – Cam Skattebo ran for 147 yards and three touchdowns, Sam Leavitt threw for 247 yards and a score, and No. 21 Arizona State held on in the final minutes to beat No. 14 BYU 28-23 on Saturday.

The tight finish capped off with a bizarre final minute, including a premature court storming by Arizona State fans.

Javan Robinson’s interception with 1:04 remaining seemed to end it for Arizona State, but the Sun Devils were stuck on the ensuing offensive onslaught. Leavitt threw the ball out of bounds on fourth down and the Arizona State student section rushed the field, believing the game was over.

But officials ruled there was one second left and BYU had a chance on the Hail Mary attempt.

It took several minutes to clear thousands of fans from the field before Jake Retzlaff’s deep pass fell incomplete a few yards short of the end zone.

The surprising Sun Devils (9-2, 6-2 Big 12) have won four straight and now find themselves on the fringes of the College Football Playoff discussion. BYU (9-2, 6-2) has lost two in a row, all but dashing its CFP hopes.

Arizona State took a 28–9 lead when Leavitt hit a wide-open Xavier Guillory for a 61-yard touchdown with 2:06 left in the third quarter, but BYU rallied and closed the margin less than 90 seconds later to 28-17 when Retzlaff hit Jojo Phillips for a 21-yard score.

After a defensive stop, BYU scored again on Keelan Marion’s 1-yard touchdown run with 8:44 left. The Cougars’ two-point attempt failed, leaving the score at 28-23.

Retzlaff threw for 297 yards and a touchdown, but also had two costly interceptions.

Arizona State started the game with a defensive stop on fourth-and-5 at midfield and responded with a crushing 10-play, 54-yard drive capped by Skattebo’s 3-yard touchdown run. The 215-pound back had 44 yards on seven carries.

The Sun Devils and Skattebo were at it again in the second quarter, putting together a methodical 12-play, 95-yard march for the team’s longest touchdown drive of the season.

Skattebo finished it off with a four-yard run, cutting through the right side of the offensive line for a 14-0 lead.

Arizona State remained aggressive with a perfectly executed onside kick that was recovered by Plas Johnson. Six plays later, Skattebo broke the line again and sprinted 23 yards for his third touchdown of the first half.
