The Sun Devils came into the game averaging 32.2 points; they scored just 14 vs. the Bearcats
Sidelined with a rib injury, Leavitt could only watch as the Sun Devils scored just 14 points - more than 18 below their season average - in aArizona State has a week off to prepare for a road game at Oklahoma State. And to get healthy.Arizona State was without its starting quarterback, redshirt freshman Sam Leavitt, and it showed. While senior Jeff Sims didn’t exactly do anything wrong, he didn’t really do anything right either.
Tyson and Skattebo claimed the bulk of Sims’ 155 passing yards. He completed 12-of-23 passes ; the last two receptions were made by redshirt senior wide receiver Troy Omeire and redshirt junior tight end Chamon Metayer — a Cincinnati transfer — in the second half. Sims' ability to connect with only four targets is a significant difference from Leavitt, who has been able to find approximately seven different receivers per game.
Aside from an uncharacteristic fumble in the first quarter that seemed to shift the game to Cincinnati’s favor, Skattebo was exactly who we know him to be, averaging 4.4 yards per carry and punching in two scores. With 6:01 to play, Hershey missed a 48-yard attempt that would have put the Sun Devils within a touchdown. The Bearcats punted on the ensuing drive, putting the ball back in Arizona State’s hands. If Hershey capitalizes on that moment, ASU is playing for a chance to tie the game. And that last drive, which ended in a missed Hershey field goal, is played with a different mindset and strategy to attempt to send the game into overtime, or even go for the win.
