Arizona State Upsets BYU in Wild Finish
November 24, 2024
Arizona State gave BYU one last chance to win their Big 12 matchup, but the Cougars Hail Mary pass with one second remaining was caught a couple of yards short of the endzone and the Sun Devils took home their fourth straight victory, 28-23. Arizona State, who moves up to No. 15 in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll, is now in a four-way tie for first place in the Big 12 Conference. BYU suffers their second loss of the season and drops to No. 20.
The top four teams remained the same with Notre Dame moving into the fifth spot thanks to Indiana’s loss to Ohio State. The Hoosiers dropped to No. 10. The Fighting Irish are 10-1 after a dominating victory over then-No. 17 Army, 49-14. The Black Knights lost their first game of the season and drop to No. 22.
