Welcome to the College Football Playoff, Arizona State.
The No. 15 Sun Devils emphatically won the Big 12 in their first year in the conference with a 45-19 win over Iowa State. ASU scored 35 straight points over the second and third quarters to turn the game into a rout thanks to three straight Iowa State turnovers.
Each of Arizona State's three third-quarter touchdowns came off a turnover. Abu Sama fumbled on the first drive of the second half and ASU capitalized with a TD pass from Sam Leavitt to Xavier Guillory. On ISU’s first play of its next drive, Rocco Becht’s pass attempt bounced off the helmet of an offensive lineman and into the arms of defensive back Keith Abney II.
