LUBBOCK, Texas – Sun Devil Football couldn't catch Texas Tech in their Big 12 Conference opener, falling in their first loss of the season, 30-22, in a back-and-forth contest on Saturday afternoon at Jones AT&T Stadium.
The Sun Devils played catch-up for much of the ballgame as they were mired in their own mishaps, attempting to erase three separate 14-point leads by the Red Raiders. Facing a 17-10 deficit at halftime, the Sun Devils couldn't tack on points in the final two quarters. A late Cam Skattebo three-yard touchdown run trimmed Texas Tech's lead to just eight, but the ensuing onside kick attempt was not successful.
