TEMPE, Ariz. – Back and forth they went, the two Big 12 Conference trading punches and setting the foundations of this newly established rivalry in their first ever meeting.
And when they needed him most, seeking one last right hook to bury the Jayhawks in front of a sellout crowd of 54,639, the Sun Devils turned to their workhorse.
Down 31-28 with under two minutes remaining from their own 34-yard line, it was Cam Skattebo who ignited the spark the Sun Devils needed with the game hanging in the balance. En route to 186 yards on 25 carries, Skattebo ripped off a clutch 39-yard run to position the Sun Devils within the Jayhawks' 30-yard line as the clock ticked away.
