Arizona State overcame a 17-0 deficit for the second time in three games, showing mental toughness and ability to rally under pressure. This resilience could be key against Utah's strong defense.
Leavitt threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-tying 4-yard pass to Jordyn Tyson with 1:50 left. His dual-threat capability (24-yard scramble, 8-yard TD run) will be crucial against Utah's defense.
Kicker Jesus Gomez missed two field goals (46, 43 yards) and a punt was mishandled, but he hit the game-winner. This inconsistency could be a liability in close games, especially on the road at Utah.
The defense forced three turnovers, including a strip sack by Prince Dorbuh that set up the winning field goal, and a game-sealing interception by Martell Hughes. This turnover generation will be vital against Utah's offense.
Brown rushed for 147 yards, providing a balanced attack. However, the running game struggled early, and against Utah's stout run defense, consistency on the ground will be critical.
