The Aztecs were the first to get on the board Saturday night, as senior running back Rashaad Perry took advantage of a huge hole on the left side of the line and took the ball 95 yards to the end zone to give SDSU an early 7-0 lead.
After a few stalled drives on offense, the Sun Devils eventually answered with an impressive 85-yard touchdown drive of their own as time expired in the first quarter to level the score at 7-7.
Wilkins connected on multiple deep pass attempts on the drive, one while rolling out of the pocket on a third and seven to sophomore receiver Kyle Williams for 29 yards and another for 42 yards to redshirt freshman Frank Darby to put the Devils on the 1-yard line.
