Arizona State dominated Texas State 34-15 behind quarterback Sam Leavitt's three total touchdowns, including two through the air and a rushing score. The Sun Devils built a commanding 20-3 halftime lead and never looked back, with Raleek Brown delivering a knockout blow on a 75-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Despite Brad Jackson's late efforts for the Bobcats, including a touchdown pass to Kylen Evans in the fourth, Texas State failed on both two-point conversion attempts as Arizona State cruised to victory at Mountain America Stadium.
