ASU will receive second half kickoff
TEMPE, Ariz — The Arizona State Sun Devils put together their most complete first half of football offensively against Washington State, scoring most points in a first half this season with 24 after Dario Longhetto hit a 51-yard field goal as time expired.
The Sun Devils scored on four of their five offensive possessions, with the one a missed field goal attempt. Coming off a loss last week against Washington last week, the offensive could not find rhythm, now the offense is singing.
