The sequence perfectly captured Jalen Harvey.
In last Saturday’s fourth quarter, the Arizona State receiver stayed on the Sun Devil Stadium grass after catching a pass and securing a first down. Harvey tried to get up, grabbing the hand of a teammate for help, but dropped in pain, clutching his collarbone. ASU’s medical staff rushed on the field and after a minute, Harvey got up and jogged to the sideline.
Two plays later, on 3rd-and-6, junior quarterback Manny Wilkins hit Harvey on a quick slant. After picking up 10 yards, Harvey sprung to his feet and gave the “first down” signal, completing the biggest play on the biggest drive of ASU’s season.
