has had a great fall and he's a good go-to guy that's a good first down hand it off to Jones they'll stretch it out he plows forward up near the 40 yd line to the 39 just a couple yards it'll be second down and long for the Cowboys well right now that veteran Cowboy offensive line is not handling Arizona State's defensive front Jeff Clark the defensive tackle transfer from Louisville with the stop second down at eight from their own 39 yd line 7 nothing Arizona state with the lead Cowboys moving right to left trip stacked up to the left side one receiver to the right single back to the

State big run there for DJ Jones there they got some push Kevin yeah that did a great job inside and that was a shring tackle that might have had that not been made he might have gone all the way 15 yards for DJ Jones finally found some room Cowboys are going to go with a big set single receivers to each side Caleb Driscoll in the game tied end to the right Nick miles to the left they might be three tied ends here single back set as spota goes under Center first and 10 from the Arizona State 46 yard line hand it off to Jones right up the gut flag on the play as he gets across the 45 to the 44 43 yd line pick up of three yards Tony Lewis in Kuba with the stop in the back field yeny still first down legal formation on the Cowboys Kevin will push him back five so it'll be first and 15 back at their own 49 but what this does that they're they're settled in a little bit offensively I think well yeah I I think so and the offensive line these last two plays has kind of taken a little more control uh of the line of scrimmage 1210 and counting to go first quarter 7 nothing Arizona State wide receiver out to the right side single wide out Trips Again stacked up to the left Jones to the left of suot they're going to pitch it out to DJ he needs a block and he is just going to be swarmed under kesan Elliott absolutely unblocked pushes him back for a couple yard loss back to the Cowboy 47 that just had nothing doing well they've tried three plays to the to the wide side of the field and Arizona State just has too much speed Cowboys cannot get out there to block them Alex Brown and will pelier out to the right side three receivers out to the right miles tied end shifting to the left side Jones to the left of spota the shotgun second down and 17 for the Cowboys he'll drop back to

tulafono the senior from Victorville California pushes him back five more it's second down at 22 yeah everybody's a little anxious and now you've got a situation you don't want to be in because the Cowboys are going to have to throw down field ball at their own 42 yd line of course in this day and age with the play clock or the uh communication systems as the play clock is down to seven they're going to have to hustle to get this play off and they're going have to call a timeout the Cowboys are going to have to call a timeout the play clock was down at 3 seconds so Wyoming will call a

Cowboys will face a second and 22 from their own 42 yd line and they'll go three wide to the wide side of the field balls on the left hash they move right to left single back to the right of SP I think that's Jamari Ferell in the game next to smota drops back to pass setting up a screen throws it frell gets a block cuts it back up near sideline bounces it outside across the 45 to the 46 as miles Rouser again with the stop four yards third down and long coming up for Wyoming and this is another situation that you absolutely have to avoid when you're on the road especially and that's third and long the Devils with all that speed will be coming after for swaboda Trips Again lined up to the wide side of the field three of them to the right swaboda in the shotgun DJ Jones back in the game to his left and movement on that left side I believe that's West King that came up out of his stance and false start offense number 78 5yd penalty third down this is very similar to the Texas techar because in that game Kevin there were penalties uncharacteristic things and we saw a number of times wyomi get off to slow starts in games last year yeah I think part of this though is the the cowboy front is very aware of the speed that defense uh the ASU defense has and they're getting out early that's the third penalty for the Cowboys thus far two by two set third and 23 now back at their own 41 smota drops back to pass looking looking now throws it and it's going to be picked off again that that's going to be kesan Elliott another interception and he's going to go out of bounds in cowboy territory at around the 40 yd line and spota air mailed the receiver over the middle of the field yeah he was looking for will palir across the middle and that was way way overthrown wow I mean in that situation that's a tough one down to the 38 yd line as kesan Elliot again Kevin he's having himself a game yes he is and guer is being helped off the field uh we'll have to get a report from Eric on that it seems like he may have been injured but they're just the offense has given this Arizona State def uh defense and team a tremendous boost 10:01 left to go in this first quarter 7

at the Wyoming 42 Sam levit with Cam scabo to his left put a Man in Motion melquan Stovall as levit will flare one out to scabo and he's got lots of room at the 35 bounces it outside the numbers at the 30 runs over a cowboy near the 25 yd line as Isaac White stops him that's a gain of 17 yards and here comes Arizona State right down the field well an easy throw and catch but you wanton it in his hands scabo just an outstanding running back got to the outside and got ahead of steam he lines up behind the quarterback Sam levit Man in Motion hand it off to scabo cuts it back makes a man miss plows into a cowboy Defenders he pushes it up near the 20 give him four to the 21 yd line Shu Al NOA one of the team captains this year for Wyoming with the Stop and he is a load that was all Shay could do to bring him down oneon-one second down and six from the Wyoming 21 yd line clock nearing 9 minutes to go 7 nothing Arizona state with the lead three wide receivers stretched out to the right side scaboo to the right of levit the transfer from Michigan State Sam levit he's in the shotgun Play Clocks at eight takes the hand off takes the snap throws it underneath pass is caught by Jake Smith he'll push forward across the the 15 to the 13 as Ben Florentine has the stop but that's another first down after a gain of eight yards it'll be first and 10 sundevils at the Cowboy 13 yd line boy wide receiver screen and there were blockers out there for Arizona State and levit looks sharp the Sun Devils look sharp Jake Smith last time he played back in 2020 1,342 days for him looks like he played last week scabo behind levit first and 10 of the 13 pitch it out to scaboo trying to get to the edge he puts the head down and forced out of bounds by Connor Shay short gain to the 10 give him three it'll be second down well the way this is going a victory for the Cowboys would be to hold this team to a field goal here in the Red Zone but uh both sides of the ball having their hands full of sundevils send it down to Eric here in just a bit two receivers to the left side one to the right the Lights Went Out breef briefly now they're back on somebody jumped the gun put a Man in Motion that's Smith they're going to run the fly sweep Smith trying to get to the outside he is hit hard by su Al no and driven back still fought forward for three it'll be third down coming up Eric what do you have for us yeah guys Nathan gager went into the medical tent it looks like they were actually looking at his left knee they changed out one of the pieces of metal on that brace he's back out has his helmet with him it looks like he's good to go that's good news for the Cowboys it'll be third and four 720 to go here in the first quarter ASU up 7 nothing they have a third and four from the cowboy seven stretch three wide receivers out to the right side scaboo next to levit to his left one receiver to the left shotgun for levit Play Clocks inside a 10 put a man in motion for Arizona State now two by two play clock at three levit High snap bobbled he gathered it in it's closing in and he's going to be dropped a big sack for the Cowboys and it's going to be fourth down coming off the edge was Ty wesland with the sack and the cowboy defense does hold and will force a field goal attempt that timing was messed up by the bad snap but Ty who's had a great fall did a nice job of getting in there and picking up the sack so they'll place it down at the 19 it'll be a 29 yd field goal attempt hash mark left for Ian Hershey to put the sundevils up 10 nothing hold is down kick is up and it is good we have 619 left to play in this opening quarter Arizona State leads the Wyoming Cowboys it's 10 to nothing this is Wyoming football on the Cowboy Sports network from learfield Pizza

for us yeah guys it's been interesting to watch on the sideline here as soon as Evan sabota has come off the field they come over with one of those tablets and watch replay after replay after replay he spent the entire time of that last series on the phone on the tablet talking to the coaches and the other two backup quarterbacks appreciate that Eric Caleb Merritt back there to receive with TK King and it will be Parker Lewis doing the kickoff duties left to right 10- nothing Arizona state has the lead Cowboys will have their third possession the first two have ended in turnovers deep end over in Kick with the wind at his back and we'll send it through the end zone while we have some time let's go ahead and pause 10 seconds for station identification you're listening to Wyoming football Keith Kelly Kevin McKenna Eric Paulie down on the sideline Logan Hunters our on-site producer and Cody beers with us as our spotter we've got FL we had extracurricular activity as there were three flags there's a lot of LA on the field right now thought that was Reed's son that was getting in the middle of it yeah it was we're going to hear what the call was well right now the Cowboys will have it first and 10 from their own 25 with that many flags I have a feeling there will be offsetting personal foul penalties but that's just an assump quick update KT okay we know about the technology what do you seeing what the players what's it look like from a execution standpoint well the the we're waiting for the official uh to see what the penalty is our referee Henry John's I think is going to tell us come on Henry he's motioning he's got to ask the sideline judge who did you say committed the infraction who was that what time is dinner tonight personal foul illegal Blind Side block block retrieving team fur during the free kick be a re kick from the 50 yd line so it'll be a free kick or it occurred during the kick so the sundevils will kick it off from Midfield this time which seems to be an exercise in futility because Parker Lewis will probably put this one out into the Carson Center I think you try to pin him on the five right pick a direction pick it either way I still go back to the uh The Blind Side block was on us they just they marked it off oh no okay the officials went the wrong way all right the officials start at the 35 and go to the 50 they literally went at 35 and subtracted 15 they ended up at the 20 and then for ah we got it right part of our conditioning program all right KT down to you real quick what are you seeing from the players well you've got uh some other new enhancements down here on the sideline Curtis near the University of Michigan there's a privacy canopy now that is over the team bench area so when the players are looking at a whiteboard or they're looking at their tablets nobody from the stands can take pictures or photos and transmit those pictures and photos to some nefarious third party that will do something oddly strange with it in the following week so you got to Fight Fire with Fire here in sundevil stadium or Mountain America Stadium rather but uh the Privacy canopies are up so now uh the kickoff will come from the 50 and it's a squid kick by Parker Lewis and a Wyoming player one of the upmen falls on the ball at the 23 yd line I think that was Cowboy Reserve tight end clay Niki who fell on the football at the 24 yd line is where they'll spot it yeah so Wyoming will take over they've had two possessions both of which have resulted in sundevil interceptions good job by our spotter Bryce he was just motioning to us the ball was laid on its side kicked hard at the upbs trying to see if they could get a a cheap fumble or cheap turnover ball rolled through the first layer and Wyoming gets at the 23 yd line first and 10 from the 24 hand off on first down to Jones and he gets swallowed up immediately and dropped immediately tackle made by Clayton Smith sundevil rush in who was in on that Play No Gain second down and 10 coming up and we have an injured player on the field for Wyoming and Kevin Turner's telling us it's left tackle Nathan Guyer red shirt freshman from Highlands Ranch Colorado a young man who was recruited at one point by Arizona State and uh he is uh injured on the play he's up on his feet thankfully but uh he's going to need assistance getting off the field as he's got two members of the Wyoming Medical Team uh he's got his arms around each one of them yeah he as he walks very slowly there to the left far sideline he's having trouble putting any weight at all in that left side of his body you know one thing you watch all these athletes now they're so well protected a lot of them every ASU offensive lineman has custom Donjoy Nee races and they've got a new lighter version out this year so they're doing all they can to kind of protect knees and ankles and geer's got the knee brace on but I'm not sure what his injury is that caused him to limp off like that they'll pop up the cowboy tent and take him in there so it'll be a second down and 10 from the 24 for Wyoming two receivers aligned to either side of the formation Jones the running back to the right of slota now Jones motions out of the back field saota looks that way and now will'll run he takes off to the far side and gets out to about the 29 yd line and he gets popped once again by ghost Rouser the sundevil safety boy what an impact miles ghost Rouser has had a junior out of Detroit who was New Mexico state's second leading tackler a year ago he and kesan Elliott were teammates when the agies posted just the sixth 10- win season in program history third down third and five from the 29 10 nothing ASU saoto looks right now throws with pressure coming and he throws it away incomplete as Clayton Smith and another sundevil newcomer defensive end Justin Watley a transfer from Cincinnati applied the pressure on spota and forced that incompletion yeah Clay Smith got good pressure left defensive end he's playing he gets a tackle he gets up field and you know when the quarterback breaks contained and rolls towards the right tackle the tackle loses all their blocking angles and Barnett that time tried to punch or kick Clay Smith out and he kicked him right into the quarterback you can see the Young quarterback needs to step up in the pocket not out in the way Jack C is the punter a transfer from VMI melan Stovall back deep calling for and making a fair catch with a lot of cowboys in his way and that was a punt of 40 three yards by culbert that's about what he averaged in two years as an outstanding FCS punter at BMI in fact he was a two-time FCS All-American the sundevils will take over at their 28 when we return 5 minutes to go here in the first quarter our score asu1 Wyoming nothing Timeout on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil radio network for 150 years college students have played the game of football a lot has changed in a

well spent trust me sundevils take over at their 28 yard line leading 10 to nothing with 5 minutes to go in the first quarter and a pick six by zyrus Fu and a field goal set up on another interception by kesan Elliott two newcomers to the suil linebacking P Sam Elliott or Sam Elliott Sam levit at quarterback for Arizona State on first down levit rolls to his right as plenty of time throws deep he's got a man open downfield but just overthrown intended for melan Stovall and Stow ball was covered by a pair of Wyoming Cowboys including their outstanding safety Wyatt Eckler yeah I like the fact that they went with a deep shot they rolled the quarterback to the right a little bit they threw back to the left side on a deep climb route stoval was in the slot he was open early Le hold held on to that ball just a little bit too long the corner was up safety was back and he was right running a 45° angle between him second and 10 from the ASU 28 yd line empty formation levit will take off he's going to run he's out to the 30 side steps of tackler Dives forward and picks up good yardage he's going to be two yds short of the first down marked down at the 36 yd line but boy what a Nifty move Sam showed there huh yeah that's one thing I think that he brings right you saw about a 40- yard pass good arm strength across the field there was a fourman rush the Cowboys got a little pressure he kept his head up when he first broke contained did you see how he was kind of going like in third second or third gear looking for the pass he wasn't running he wasn't running first I thought he was going to throw it there yeah I did too which is good his eyes were up he was ready to throw he made a good decision third down and two scabo the running back to the left of levit levit Will Roll to his left throws to The Far Side of the field the ball is caught by Jordan Tyson eludes a tackler and picks up extra yardage along the far sideline he's got a first down out of bounds they're going to Mark him out of Bounds at the 40 he got as far as Midfield but they say he stepped out at the 40 That's the bad news the good news is he picked up the first down that was a nice job by scabo though that was a roll out to the left scabo was in the flats but on the way it was a safety Blitz he nicked the safety off and then it was a good throw right-handed quarterback and lit throwing an out route to the left side into a blitz nice completion three receivers to the right side on First and 10 off play action levit Under Pressure takes off and runs again to the 45 and he's to about the 47 before he is tackled on the play we have a penalty marker down I do believe the tackle was made by strong safety Isaac White oh no Mark I beg your pardon Wyoming has veteran safeties Isaac White and Wyatt Eckler who is the younger brother of Washington commanders running back Austin Eckler former La charger back second down and three at the 47 yd line of ASU Sun Devils with a 10 to nothing lead under three minutes to go first quarter yeah 10 Personnel one running back four wide receivers along with scaboo in the back field they hand it off to that running back scabo trying to get outside scabo gets the first down stays on his feet stumbles forward and is down inside the 45 yd line to the 44 of Wyoming and we have a penalty marker down back in the Arizona State backfield yeah L it that time he was carrying out of playaction or boot the defensive end just unloaded on him unnecessary roughness number 54 of the defense 15 yds tacked on to the end of the Run results in a first down that defensive end is Sebastian harsh a junior out of Scotts Bluff Nebraska who was one of uh Wyoming's top defensive linemen a year ago but a costly penalty there there it attacks on to the end of the first down catch and run by Cam scabo and bada boom bada bing the devils are at the 29 yd line of Wyoming threatening to add to their 10 nothing lead you know that used to be a legal hit quarterback acting like he's carrying out a fake but now today's W world you know anytime you anytime you do anything like that you know you're going to get a flag Tyson Brown in at running back Brown gets the handoff heading behind Maxi Honore but he gets tripped up and uh just gets back to the line of scrimmage tripped up on the play by defensive end Ty Westland yeah I got to get that offensive line out there a little faster they were a little slow a little delayed draw that time and trying to go between Center and left tackle running back wanted to get his feet moving faster he had big bodies those guys got to commit to a block just take a Defender right or left let the back read it two receivers to either side on second and 10 levit throws to the near side caught by tight end Shaman mato his first catch is a sundevil and he is tackled after about a 6yd gain at the 23 yd line The Tackle made by cornerback tyreus Davis of Wyoming and that will set up a third down play they'll spot it at the 22 so it'll be third and three I got to ask you what do you think of the arm strength of Mr Lev so far I like what I've seen uh those throws to the sideline can be be be a really good uh indicator of that arm strength you know we're going to really get a good idea of what his arm strength is and and how tight his rotation is when they flip directions here at the going in the second quarter third and three a pitch to scaboo heading left cuts it up he's got the first down inside the 20 down to the 16 yd line cam scabo with a 6-y pickup and an Arizona State first down with under a minute to go in the first quarter and another Cowboy player is down on the field and it appears to be one of their veteran defensive lineman Devon Harris a 64 235 lb grad student from Big Lake Minnesota yeah ceron harpool the transfer from San Diego State was blocking he was moving the defensive end out of the way and there was somebody right in front fell down right in front of the defensive end harpool kept blocking took him right over the defender kind of a high low within the course of the play but a good job by the tight end of keeping his feet moving not giving up on the Block Harris able to get up and walk off the field uh not needing as much assistance as uh the prior injured player for Wyoming offensive lineman Nathan guer but uh still a little uh little bit slow getting over to that sideline and uh understood after watching that play well it's hard you know when you're a you know 250lb man pushing you hard one way you're fighting him and all of a sudden somebody else is laying right at your legs and you get bent over in half one it hurts two it's scary three I hope it's not serious now the Sun Devils have melquan Stovall and scabo lined up in the backfield defensive lineman 3D linemen hand off to scabo scabo to the 10 yd line scabo down to around the eight before he goes down but a good pickup on the play it'll set up a second down and two an eight- yd gain for Cam scabo and the Devils get right back to the line of scrimmage yeah I'd keep running it right here if they're going to play these three down Lin and i' go Adam D Carlos Brooks is now in at running back for the first time tonight the one time Cal bear Dar Carlos gets the handoff heads left he's inside the five Brooks into the end zone touchdown Devils to Carlos Brooks on his first Carry of the season goes eight yards for the sun Devil's first offensive touchdown of the Season that was a really nice drive think about that drive some passes right some good runs but Lev a couple of times in that drive didn't force the ball use his feet picked up seven or eight yards and then you had third and two third and three you know scabo can pick that up that play will prove to be the final play of an impressive first quarter of 2024 the extra point by Ian Hershey makes it 17 to nothing in favor of Arizona State what a first quarter of the season to get year two of the Kenny Dillingham era and year

talked about how the safety play has been much much stronger for ASU I mean not only did Simmons have a couple of tackles but ghost rousers has been real physical coming up and making plays Rouser has been all over the place in Quarter Two the Cowboys will be the ones going left to right across your dial attacking the South End Zone sundevils did a lot of business in that South End Zone in Period one is once again for the fourth time tonight four out of four Parker Lewis's kickoff is a Touchback and Wyoming will begin from its 25 yd line yeah kesan Elliott and Rouser both with three tackles in that first quarter Rouser all three of his tackles were unassisted cowboys wearing white jerseys BR pants with brown numbers and letters brown and gold the colors of the University of Wyoming these two schools from 1962 to 77 were rivals in the western Athletic Conference DJ Jones the North Carolina transfer still in at running back aota the quarterback out of the shotgun gets the snap looks left throws left that pass broken up and almost picked off it was broken up by cornerback larence LT Welch a transfer from LSU wow tell you what sports fans LT Welch has got five gears and he is fast he hit the electric on that exploded second down and 10 from the 25 swoda over the middle his pass is complete to tight end Nick Miles who catches it and goes down to the 31 yd line a gain of six miles has already matched 50% of his reception total of a year ago he only had two catches all last year he's got one this year remember we told you that their leading returning receiver tight end John Michael Gillen Borg out tonight with an ankle injury so Miles filling in third down and four for the Cowboys at their 31 Arizona state with a 17 to nothing lead early moments of the second quarter ASU man up man to the field side if if he want saoto wants it he's got manto man to the left side on third down saoto will keep and will run for the first down as he is dropped at about the 38 yd line but that'll be a first down for Wyoming as again ghost Rouser was the one who dropped him but a good run by swaboda to pick up the first down yeah they had a tight trips compressed formation to the right side two tight three tight ends in the game they ran right at the Apex all three of them line of scrimmage now the cowboy 38 again Jones in the back fields faota may be changing the called the line of scrimmage receiver split to either side hand off to Jones Jones straight ahead and he kind of thrust forward and picks up good yardage out to the 43 yd line a gain of seven Shamari Simmons is the one that kind of flung him forward good job by Rouser too he came on a blitz he got in there for a half tackle as well on second down a swing pass to the near side incomplete and boy if M if ghost Rouser had been a step quicker to the ball he might have had an interception as Elijah o' I think deflected that pass at the line of scrimmage yeah they tried to swing route to the right side ball was deflected and good job by O'Neal 63 245 lb defensive end getting his hands up quarterback spota 6'5 245 so think Josh Allen 2.0 from a physical standpoint third and five for the Cowboys from their 43 yd line that cover zero man man Mo most it out of the back field Toot's pass a slip screen dropped by the receiver Tyler King the former Texas Tech Red Raider a middle screen slip screen dropped by King that would have been a first down in all likelihood had he held on that was a great play they had cover zero the the back goes in motion to the left so the linebacker runs with him and there's nobody underneath they had three linemen have they been able to make that catch that was a good call by Wyoming and just got to catch it sometimes coaches can draw a play but you got to make it yep Jack culberth is the punter M uh melquan Stovall back at his 10 yd line awaiting the kick there's the snap culberth puts foot into it whistles blow a flag is down and uh it's going to be a false start I believe on Wyoming prior to the snap false start number 31 of the offense 5yd penalty still fourth down you know all these opportunities for stoval to catch the ball where it's windy kind of an ugly night like this these are great cuz next week you got a big time time opponent coming into to Mountain America Stadium you've got Mississippi State coming down you want to see all phases of your game get work that's the sixth penalty tonight on Wyoming for 50 yards the sundevils have not yet been penalized as this next punt by cber a good one as Stovall Fields it at the 22 makes two men Miss gets to the 30 gets to the 35 gets to the 40 and he is dragged down shy of the 45 and a penalty flag flies in there and we may have a horse caller tackle called on Wyoming a 48 yd punt a 23 yd return and we may have more yards tacked on to the end of the run that was a really nice job by stoval he had that double foot like jump cut made the first Defender move and then ran by the second one and they're just a nasty horse caller going to get 15 yards on that play ASU didn't like it but they kept their cool the legal hseep tackle number 33 for the kicking Team 15 yds for the dead ball spot first down timeout linebacker Connor Shay on the uh kick team was guilty of the horse collar and so the Devils will have great field position to begin their next possession when we return in a moment our score ASU 17 and Wyoming nothing this is the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil radio network K's light presents to chill or not to chill when your friend skips your

football ESPN 620 a score big with vania's New York style pizza visit us at seven Valley locations the East and West concessions or swing by Pizza Presto at sundevil Marketplace before the big game every bite is as satisfying as a sundevil win order now at vas.com you know think about what's happened though we just went to break we listen to commercials yep coach Ward our defensive staff was able to use the iPads and the computers and diagnose what Wyoming is doing we talked to about that inside slip screen the wide receiver screen where the back was wide when the ball got dropped dropped it was against manto man so you had the receiver coming in the back going out so the backer was chasing the running back to the sideline the receiver's coming inside with three blockers on man-to-man coverage so one corner following him right yeah now coach Ward had a timeout he got to look at that he can say well wait a minute how do they know that I was going to man in that scenario and he's going to get to talk to his guys about how they want to defend it just that technology is going to be just every every available moment is a teaching moment Game Changer sundevils take over at the Wyoming 43 levit stra drop back hit as he throws the pass incomplete as Sam got popped just as he was ready to throw by blitzing linebacker Connor Shay so it'll be second and 10 from the 43 of Wyoming a 17 to nothing ASU lead we played about about a little more than 2 minutes of the second quarter here on the season opener for 2024 and a pretty good crowd here at Mountain America Stadium for this opening game that last pass that Lev got hit on with a fiveman they had a linebacker Blitz hand off to scabo and he gets wrapped up pretty quickly and piled up but still manages to drag the pile forward and actually ends up gaining around four yards on the play well the offensive line gained 3.5 yards by pushing scabo and turning it into a Rugby scrum Kade Briggs the guard Ben Coleman the other guard fanu the center those three guys up front did a nice job of moving the pile strong safety Andrew Johnson was the first to meet scabo it'll set up a third down and six at the Wyoming 39 yd line two receivers to either side of the formation off play action lit throws quickly a middle screen to sow ball with room to the 30 to the 20 to the Milan Stow ball dragged down from behind at around the 10 yd line of Wyoming they're going to Mark the ball at the 11 and it will be a first and 10 after a 28 yd gain noticeably different from a speed perspective right here the receivers doing a nice job same play that Wyoming ran except Stovall caught it scabo on first down heads left on the handoff from levit but against short yardage but be careful here scabo looked like he was grabbing one of his legs and he is going to hobble off he was tackled along the near sideline and he's going to go straight up the sideline to his team's bench and Carlos Brooks will come in at running back and scabo is on his feet he appears to be okay it doesn't appear to be anything serious but hey Tim look at the other thing that's new there's three student assistants that have long polls with netting and they are covering up the signal the signaler from ASU so you're using the green helmet the Green Dot and they're signaling to Carlos Brooks or no that's lit off a terrific fake running left and he got crunched Out of Bounds at around the 5 yd line cornerback tyreus Davis really laid the leather on levit knocked him out at the Wyoming five so it'll set up a third down the Devils can get a first down without a touchdown it's third and four the five and good news cam scabo is back in the lineup I tell you what I looked at on replay leather was about two yards out of bounds when he got hit no Flags you know had L gone backwards and acted you know done done acting class and they take him over to K konai school and let him learn how to do that there you go we got a bunch of new intern actors that want to be broadcasters up here and off the scabo he explodes forward and he gets still on his feet now finally gang tackled inside the 5 yd line at the three he's going to be two yards short of the first down three yard shy of the goal line so what will Kenny Dillingham do do here on fourth down and two from the three what the heck you're up 17 to nothing he's going to go for it at the very worst or at the very least if the Devils don't get it Wyoming which has yet to score tonight will have a very long field to drive this will be a nice area to hard counts fourth and two you could talk to the quarterback and just try to hard count or do you go Wildcat here I I think they're going Wildcat Sam lit is flanked out wide to the right and scabo was lined up in the back field ready to take the direct SN charge time out of the half Wyoming 30 second timeout and Wyoming saw that and said what in the Wide World of Sports is it going on here and they call timeout well they saw it a lot last year if you went back and watched the tap for ASU that was a common occurrence Sam or excuse me um scaboo that had 50 plays at quarterback last year so 5050 quarterback plays would be a lot of those are your wildc formation boy he was fun to watch it was a tough season before he was fun to watch well but he looks noticeably different KT what are you seeing when you look at scaboo this year from last year cuz you're down there right there on the field well what I just saw the last two carries was ridiculous gymnastics like flexibility he was pretzel up in that last tackle incredible flexibility that I didn't see last year so here we go mind he can throw too so don't think it's just a pure run the devils are going to keep this formation with levit lined up as a receiver wide to the right scabo to take the direct snap fourth and two from the three Shaman Mater goes in motion scabo gets the direct snap and he plls his way into the end zone for an Arizona State touchdown what a patient run that was by Cameron scabo who looked like he was ready to hand the ball off until the very last moment when he decided to take the whole surge forward and took it in for the score they had two tight ends on the right side they also had Mater coming across who is a tight end left to right he ends up in the same spot it's the same play almost that Wyoming ran when they have saoto keep it between right tackle and tight end the extra point attempt by Ian Hershey is good and it is a 24 to nothing Arizona State lead for some perspective as we go to break keep in mind in last year's opener Wyoming beat a big Big 12 team Texas Tech in overtime 3533 tonight they're trailing a big 12 TEAM Arizona State 24 to nothing as we take a Timeout on the Mountain America Credit

capped off by cam scaboo fourth down three yard scoring run the sundevils have a 24 to nothing lead with 947 left in the first half and Fell's opening night can't be going a whole lot better for the home team Kevin Turner what single Factor what factors have impressed you the most so [Music] far well I think he's going to say the same KT totally unimpressed by what's going on so far how about you rapper yeah five five different receivers have caught balls ASU has 10 first downs compared to three first downs for Wyoming scabo is averaging almost 5 yards a carry and to me it's l it right five of seven 64 yard but he's also carried the ball four times for 14 yards how about this one no penalties so far for ASU no and you take a look at penalties from Wyoming they have not done a good job of the penalty front they're over 60 yards in penalties they got 66 yards and penalties 65 yards let's see if Parker Lewis can make it five for five uh Touchback kickoffs as he booms this one downfield no problem as that hits about nine yds Deep In The End Zone and goes out for the fifth Touchback of the night for Parker Lewis Parker missed a bunch of fall Camp uh with an injury and just working his way back couple of years ago he had an excellent year kicking for USC 26 and 35 field goals for the Trojans That season as once again the Cowboys of Wyoming will start from their 25 yd line first and 10 trailing 24 to nothing against Arizona State Red Mountain High School produ Evans faota continues on at quarterback for the pokes first and 10 out of the shotgun hand off to DJ Jones and he gets wrapped up immediately by the fresh or the sophomore defensive tackle CJ fight who's going to be a really good player at ASU was solid as a freshman starting as a sophomore and he drags Down Jones after a gain of two yeah the Tatum Texas native did a good job he's explosive playing inside he's playing on the right shoulder of the center but he hits gaps hard at low strong center of gravity second down and eight hand off to Devon body going in motion on the Jet Sweep and he is forced out of bounds by LT Welch after a short gain to the 29 yd line setting up a third down and six you know Tim watching the secondary just seems like they're super fast to the ball if I were the cowboys I'd try hitch and go or something to try to back them up I'm impressed with the foot speed the aggressiveness of this defensive backfield Devils look like they're ready to bring it on third down and six as tight end Nick Miles goes in motion now lines up tight on the right side SWOT out of the shotgun gets the snap drops back looking and he's going to go down sack back at the 21 yd line sacked by Elijah O'Neal Who burst through to drop slota for the loss O'Neal called by Kenny Dillingham the sunil's most improved player in this ball camp and he shows you why there and the sundevils lead a 24 to [Music] nothing this is a great recipe for an opening game right sure is capitalize on turnovers don't have any penalties be efficient at the quarterback position play great defense physical on turnovers yeah Devil's only got nine takeways a year ago four of them in one game against Washington first and 10 from the 41 yd line Stovall in motion levit swings it out of the backfield caught by kaon Brown in space and brown able to get some yardage out past the 45 dragged down by safety Isaac White at the 46 yd line after a pickup of five on the play that's winning football right there five yards you're stretching the defense laterally when you go to that Swing Swing route good block by stoval it's what you want to see your wide receivers do not only you know it's great to catch the ball but can you block for a teammate make a play and don't you think a lot of these short passes is just giving lit more confidence in his first start got just accurate having fun right now on play action fake levit over the middle pass caught by a diving Jordan Tyson who makes his first catch as a sundevil and the former Colorado Buffalo is down at the 40 yd line of Wyoming with a 14 yd gain and an Arizona State first down well that time play action pass 11 fakes to run up the middle linebackers for Wyoming step up then they hit the crossing route behind him still snowball motions out of the back field hand off to Kason Brown finds a hole along the near sideline and brown is tackled inside the 25 yd line at the 24 a 16 yd gain cornerback tyreus Davis makes the tackle lot of motion ASU showing a lot of different formations but they've got stoval going right and showing some tempo right now as well first and 10 from the 24 play fake levit rolls right being chased throws downfield complete again that one to Xavier gillery who makes his first catch of the year and as a first down at the 13 ydd line an 11 yd pickup yeah that time when lever rolls out to the right side he had a wide open wide receiver his first read was Tyson elected to hold for the crossing route I think the coaches will show him that and say hey stay with your first read don't come off it too quick hand off the kaon brown heading right Brown to the 10 yd line slowed up and dragged down by safety Wyatt Eckler at around the eight so it a pick up of about four yards with under 6 minutes to go first half sundevils leading 24 to nothing and threatening to up the antie with more here Eckler strong tackler came up there and physical strong does a nice job of getting his hands you know Eckler's played this is his 39th football game he had 77 tackles both safeties veterans in this program Isaac White and Eckler yeah this is our 80th start between the two of them this is crazy on second down the Jets sweep to Tyson heading left Jordan Tyson is going to be stopped by the guy we were just talking about or no that's the middle linebacker Shay Su anoa Isaac White's number 42 suano is number 43 and he made a fine play to tackle Tyson in space and bring him down after a gain of only one so it's third and five from the seven for ASU similar to the last time they were down here yeah looks like they got a manto man coverage across the board so you got you got either cover zero or man free we'll see what they do back for the running ASU steps up in Blitz protection Here Comes The Blitz lit throws over the middle incomplete oh he had Jordan Tyson on a quick slant just inside the end zone and zipped it by him incomplete it looked like Tyson may have gotten fingertips on it but couldn't snag it down in any event it'll be fourth down and on comes the field goal unit Ian Hershey has already kicked one tonight that was a great great throw by Le it was hot and it was quick right it was three receivers to the right side Tyson runs a slant route when he comes out of the break the ball's right there and that one the he the receiver is going to want back a 24 yd attempt from the near hash by Hershey and he puts it through Ian Hershey with his second field goal of the night and more fireworks here at Mountain America Stadium as with that suble field goal means Mountain America Credit Union sends another $250 to to the sundevil club it's a 27 to nothing Arizona State lead

Hershey's second field goal of the night officially a 2 four y 27 to nothing ASU and rapper am I right in saying that the Devils have not yet punted tonight yeah I don't show them having a punt and I mean all the stats are definitely going their way it's it's just fun to watch that the speed is the thing that's jumping out to me but asu's had the ball four times field goal touchdown touchdown field goal like all those keep in mind you know you got some defensive touchdowns in there two interceptions for the the the line for Wyoming is interception interception punt punt punt in the last three drives Wyoming has had 12 plays wow biggest thing is and think about this the average starting field position for ASU tonight their own 46 the average starting field position for Wyoming their own 25 here's a returnable kick by King King going to The Far Side of the field oh he got popped he bounced off a hit and was able to get to about the 24 yd line I think that was if I'm not mistaken Montana Warren sundevil safety who just came up and laid the leather to him man he laid leather fiberglass polyester three Adidas Stripes everything on him isn't that the truth and uh king would have been better served he would have gained one more yard if he had just let it go and may signal for a fair catch if you will uh he gets to the 24 they would have added at the 25 that's basically been the starting position for every Cowboy scoring drive and they need a bunch of them now to get back into this game trailing the Devils 27 to nothing as faot off play action on first down drops back to throw being pressured and now sacked by Clayton Smith once again sacked inside the 10 yd line they're going to say the initial hit came at the 12 that's where they will Mark him down a loss of 12 Smith with his second sack of the evening you know what the difference is between the two quarterbacks one is stepping forward to escape the other one is trying to run to the outside and running right into the defensive ends for ASU second and 22 for the Cowboys from their 12 yd line and now swaboda will line up under Center Jaylen Sergeant motions to the formation hand off to Jones and Jones trying to get to the right gets dropped after a short gain Keith abne the sundevil sophomore cornerback came up and uh made the first Contact and Miles ghost Rouser finish him off at the 16 and I'm telling you what Rouser is he is playing he is not a ghost He Is Not Invisible he is anything but maybe the best defensive player yeah he's been all over the place tonight with attitude with power he's a guy if you're watching and you're an opposing coach you're kind of going okay super aggressive again I'm surprised Wilding hasn't taken a shot tried to go after that aggressiveness cuz Rouser has been an eraser out there third and 18 from the 16 free safety Blitz Leota drops back under pressure throws to The Far Side of the field and the pass is caught and driven out of bounds with a first down is short of it oh short of the first down I should say is a receiver Chris Durr Jr his first catch of the year the first catch of his career he's a true freshman from Chicago but he is out of bounds well short of the first down my mistake it's at the 26 yard line he is eight ydd shy of the first and the Cowboys will have to punt it away again yeah time pretty good pressure by Woodley the defensive tackle the transfer came in from Cincinnati and we've called his name a couple of times first time out of the half Arizona State clock operator please set the pl the game clock to 254 think about this 54 ASU used the timeout here at 250 because at 2 minutes they're going to get a they're going to get a two-minute time out Kevin you got an injury update for us let's go down the sidelines to Kevin Turner yeah uh late breaking news was just jogging off the field and into the locker room and Anar chabra was following was Jordan Tyson looked very upset but he looked like he was running okay his face was very flush and red so I'm not sure if he's got some sort of a migraine or what the issue is physically but it looked like he was very upset and ran into the locker room anakar chabra following him did you I didn't see any injury did you or no I did not but he did not have his helmet on we'll have to see that keep an eye out to see if Jordan returns to the field here and that would be a big loss he missed all of last year after having a great freshman season at Colorado two years ago got hurt late in that freshman year and and pretty much was rehabbing that injury all last season after he transferred here as CB launches a beauty of a punt fielded back at the 16 by Miles melan stoval and stoval picks up about nine on the return get getting it back to the 25 yd line but what a punt by cth unofficially we have him at 69 yds Wyatt Eckler was uh downfield to make the tackle on Stow ball that was a bomb right there that thing turned over look that Patriot missile just arcing through the air as we said culberth was a late a summer transfer to Wyoming after he was a two-time FCS allamerican punter at Virginia Military Institute culberth a young man from my home state of vir Virginia Charlottesville is Hometown as D Carlos Brooks now in the lineup for Arizona State on First and 10 sundevils at their 25 yd line leading 27 to nothing handoff two Brooks looking right looking for a hole finds one squirts through gets up field and gets a first down uh are they going to Mark him down he looks like he's down at the 35 yd line at the line to gain and let's see where they spot the football they're going to spot it at the 30 4 that well that doesn't look like a accurate spot to me I thought Brooks easily had the first down so it's second down and one pistol formation Brooks lined up behind levit Sam throws to the near side caught by Jake Smith up field he goes with a first down and more bumped out of bounds past Midfield by safety Isaac White but there's Jake Smith there there can't be a sundevil who wants to be on the field More Than Jake Smith does tonight that's an 18 yd gain and a good block by melquan stoval to help Smith pick up those yards yeah that' to be frustrating two years for and transfer from Texas to SC and injuries minute timeout there's the new timeout that we talked about coming into play so ASU got the ball at about 240 it's a good chance to go through your two-minute Drive scenario and they use that timeout as well as the two-minute technically it's not the two-minute warning in college football just the two-minute timeout and here it is with our score 27 to nothing ASU we take a break on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil Radio [Music] Network e all right so there we were cruising through the new openair Zoo

sundevil football ESPN 6:20 a.m. on the first play after the two-minute timeout Sam levit zings one over the middle complete to Jake Smith who makes his third catch of the night and has a first down to the Wyoming 27 yard line after a 21 yd gain yeah again though because of the ability to run the football the play action sucks the linebackers up and then you've got a Crossing route with Smith in between the two backers kind of a 425 set four down lineman two backers five DBS two receivers to either side on First and 10 hand off to DAR Carlos Brooks cutting it up the Middle with an opening Brooks sheds a tackler stays on his feet and finally is dropped at around the 12 yd line another Arizona State first down a 15yd gain for Dar Carlos Brooks you know when you watch D Carlos run he's decisive with his eyes that cut back was really quick he has a nice good field of vision and he was able to see that cut back Lane really early started out towards left guard and broke it back between Right Guard right tackle Brooks the onetime Chandler High School star who transferred here from Cal last year first and 10 at the 12 again the give to Brooks heading right tries to turn the corner drags a tackler and harsh with him for a couple of yards and gets all the way down to around the seven as where they're going to Mark him down a 5yd gain with under a minute to play and I think the sundevils are going to burn a timeout here to stop the clock with 50 seconds time out of the half yeah Arizona State it will still have 30 second time out one more timeout sundevils with 116 yards rushing tonight 250 ydd total you love the balance 134 through the air 16 16 on the ground and in contrast Wyoming only 54 total yards so far yeah take a look at you know when you start looking to like at third down conversions what ASU is able to do they're able to keep drives alive and quarterback's 10 to 13 that that sure helps in that regard devil still huddled in front of their bench the cowboy defense is back on the field 50 seconds remaining it's a second and five at the seven they issu three of six on third third down conversions Wyoming one of six Sun Devils do have a fourth down conversion in there as well right yeah this is the third straight possession where ASU has this this situation where they're inside the opponent's 10 with a chance to get a first down without getting a touchdown they have a touchdown in a field goal on the prior two possessions in that Paradigm here it's second and five at the Cowboys Seven Trips left in a bunch formation right near the left tackle scaboo is in at running back now to the right of Lev yeah w shows Blitz Lev it just shift at his protection he's going to have a delay of game here he's not careful penalty flag is down and I think that's going G push him back number 10 5yd penalty second down good job by Eckler he's up there showing Blitz off the boundary side Leven saw him he wanted to go to something else and Young quarterback kindt forgot about the play clock so good veteran move by the safety Eckler that is the first penalty tonight assist against the sundevils so pushes the ball back to the 12 yd line Second and 10 levit to throw spins away from a tackler no he doesn't he gets dragged down by defensive lineman Braden sers ciders brings him down I thought for a moment levit was going to be able to get away but ciders dropped him at the 21 yd line for a loss of nine so it's third and 19 with under 30 seconds to go in the half and the clock is ticking the bus is stuck in Reverse right now levit throws one out of the back field and overthrows cam scabo his intended receiver yeah I'm not sure that that's the play I like on Third and 17 you can throw a slip screen maybe Stovall you know get it to somebody inside quicker um you know what though no harm no foul on that let's see what your field goal kicker can do it's good time for him to come on and what he'll get about a 37 yd attempt maybe 38 yeah pun Canyon Floyd who hasn't had to punt yet tonight is going to set it up at around the between the 28 and 29 we'll call it a uh 39 yd attempt to make it a 30 to nothing lead the kick is on its way it's got the distance and it is no good wide to the right so Hershey after converting two field goals misses that one the longest attempt so far from 39 and so the sundevils first time they've come up empty on a possession in this ball game with 13 seconds left in the first half keep in mind that Arizona State won the toss and elected to defer so the sundevils will get the ball to start the second half and they have a 27 to nothing lead here in the late stages of the first half as Evans foto will line up under Center and most likely will take a knee and he does and that will do it to it for the first half as the teams start to head off to their respective locker rooms this first half could not have gone a whole heck of a lot better for Kenny dillingham's Arizona state sundevils in the opening game of his second season as the head coach at his Alma moer the sundevil scoring on five of six first half possessions to take a 27 to nothing lead over Wyoming into the locker room at halftime a team that only won three games each of the last two seasons trying to make a statement tonight against a good club from the Mountain West Conference Wyoming 9 and4 a year ago as we check in with Kevin Turner he's standing by with Coach Dillingham all right coach about a clean of first half as we've seen here at Mountain America Stadium in a number of years your thoughts on the first half yeah I mean it was until the last two-minute Drive we're trying to have a middle eight series Drive the ball down the field take a delay game take a sack Miss field goal embarrassing all right physical you talked about being imposing your will physicality that has to be underscored in my mind in the first half our guys are playing hard guys are playing hard playing smart no personal foul penalties uh we're winning the we're winning the turnover battle uh like I challenged them we're winning the play smart battle with penalties and we're playing tough football you're gonna win a lot of games talk about the technology how is that enhancing your in-game adjustments yeah it just helps us see what they're doing then make adjustments on the Fly both teams get it so I don't know how much of an advantage it is because both teams have it all right coach thanks a lot congratulations on a good first half stay in the stands yeah there you go and it's a good good advice from coach Dillingham because I think the the second half is anything like the first half the fans will enjoy what they see if they stay in the stands at the break Arizona State 27 Wyoming nothing and Jeff M

sundevil a letics please drink responsibly the lanus Brewing Company Petaluma California now here's Jeff man with the lanus Brewing Company halftime report and at the half at Mountain America Stadium and not going to call it a shock because we knew things would be better with this ASU football team but a little ahead of schedule perhaps as Arizona state has a 27 to nothing lead on Wyoming at the half you name the area and the Devils have excelled in it and it didn't take very long for it to happen a pick six in the first 41 seconds of the game just absolutely incredible to consider and that got things rolling from there and the Devils if you look at just the numbers the overall numbers 241 yards in total offense Sam levit 10 for 14 in passing for 134 yards the other thing that's been impressive about Lev in this first half is his toughness you remember there was the late hit penalty where a blitzing linebacker came in from the opposite side as levit handed off the ball and just popped him hard and levit was down for a second or two but got back to his feet he's done some running five carries five yds net and he's gotten hit a few times on those too and he gets right back up so his toughness has been on display his passing has been on display he's thrown as we said for 134 yards in the this first half Wyoming also is not helping its cause two turnovers both interceptions seven penalties for 65 yards the delay of game penalty by ASU in the final possession of the half was their one and only penalty so far in this contest Evan sabota the local product from Mesa four of 10 passing in the first half 32 yards and as we said the two interceptions leading rusher by the way cam scabo 41 yds on carries Jake Smith has three catches for 47 yards all in all a very impressive first 30 minutes of football here at Mountain America Stadium and you might have heard head coach Kenny Dillingham imploring the fans stay in your seats don't go anywhere this crowd that's the other

Mountain America Stadium second half action will get underway shortly first half well except for that last drive you heard Kenny Dillingham tell Kevin Turner he was none too pleased with the way that drive ended up uh the Devils were inside the 10 yd line had to settle for a 39y field goal try that missed but other than that it was just a terrific first half of football for the Arizona State sundevils who lead Wyoming at the break 27 to nothing and ASU will get the second half kickoff having won the toss at game start and electing to defer their option along with Jeff Van rapor and Kevin Turner and producer engineer Shan cresen statistician Evan Riser and spotter Bryce Garrick I'm Tim Healey welcoming you back to Mountain America Stadium time to get you some of our Nissan thrilling first half numbers and let's be honest folks last year there were a lot of games where we really had to scrs to come up with some thrilling first half numbers in the midst of a three and n sundevil Season tonight the problem is do we have enough time to fit in all the thrilling first half numbers that we could bring you here are some of them the sundevils who uh were minus 11 in turnovers last year only had nine takeaways All Season well they had two takeaways in the first two possessions of this game including a pick six by linebacker zyrus fiau on the second play of the season the sundevils only called for one first half penalty it was a delay of game conversely for Wyoming only three first downs in the first half of the Cowboys in six drives they averaged a mere five yards per drive and they have yet to get the ball into Arizona State territory the sundevils with their 27 points already have more points in one half of football tonight than they did in 10 of their games in 2023 and the Devils had two takeaways on the first two Wyoming possessions of tonight's game they did not get their second defensive takeaway last year until game seventh at Washington in mid October those are some of the thrilling Nissan first half numbers you deserve a car that Thrills you and Nissan's got an exciting full line that'll put Goosebumps on your Goosebumps experience the thrill for yourself shop your local Nissan store at nissanusa.com today as I welcome in my partner Jeff Van rapor raer what were some of your big takeaways from that first half no punts that was a good one no punts that's a great one that's a great one and only one penalty right I mean I I don't know I just I think it was just a real solid game I think a lot of guys got to make plays I think if I had to pick if you just had to put your hand on one thing you know you'd expect me to go to the quarterback right right I'm not I'm going to go to Rouser really he was terrific I thought miles Rouser coming up from the secondary as a safety was great he and Shamari Simmons really form a nice Duo Rouser a leading tackler with four solo tackles kesan Elliott has four tackles as well and an interception return so I a lot of good lot of mean just spread it around right it's like Easter everybody gets an egg and it's like why MCA nowadays everybody gets an award profile nobody wins nobody loses everybody gets a medal that's right John hland is the place kicker for Wyoming and he's a very good kicker a semi-finalist for the grow award a couple years ago this his first appearance of the game as he kicks off to start the second half and uh melan stoval back deep to receive but he will let it go out of the end zone for a Touchback how about this Devils will take over at their 25 yeah but ASU they won the toss and they deferred and then they get the pick six touchdown out of it and they get the ball coming out of half so you know I think Kenny would have liked to have seen them finish the second quarter with points and then get the ball kind of do the old double up boy he was upset wasn't he he wanted that he was he's like good coaches are he's a perfectionist but in any event here we go with the second half and uh as uh Kevin Turner just said in my ear Jordan Tyson remember he had to go to the locker room the first half he is back on the field the second half as Sam L it rolls to his right throws downfield for Tyson but the pass incomplete along the far side of the field Tyson was being defended on the play by Wyoming quarterback keani Parks yeah good coverage by parks that time deep comeback route on the right side got three receivers two well two receivers in a tight end to the far side of the field right-handed quarterback rolls to the right good play you know it's a good miss right right near the sidelines away only potentially a chance for a great catch otherwise incomplete pass three receivers to the right on second down they'll hand it to scabo finds a hole up the middle and scabo gets out to the 30 before he's dragged down on the play by free safety Wyatt Eckler a gain of five it will set up third down and five by the way Sam levit as of right now 10 of 15 passing 134 yds no touchdowns no interceptions he is also five rushes for a net of five yards he uh has been sacked once really like you know I like how the left tackle new left tackle Josh Atkins transfer from Houston playing well at the left side third and five three receivers again to the right L now scrambling to his left he'll take off and run and he'll get the first down boy he shows a good Burst when he decides to take off and go and Sam gets out to about the 36 yd line before he's brought down by defensive lineman Sebastian harsh that's an Arizona State first down yeah he's doing a nice job extending things with his feet good job good job blocking that time by Atkins seals The Edge and and then from there L splits The Defenders right aggressive with his feet getting yardage splitting Defenders Stovall motions out of the back field they hand it to scabo he's trying to follow Maxi hore and scabo gets short yardage out to the 39 yd line a pick up of three on the play The Tackle made by Wyoming defensive end Braden ciders second down and seven some personnel changes uh Florida State or excuse me Penn State transfer Malik mlan is in the lineup wide receiver for the sundevils for the first time tonight I think tight end Shaman matay lined up wide to the left side and now he motions into the formation on this second down play off play action levit drops back with time over the middle caught by Tyson for a first down come to the near side of the field and is dragged down by the Shir tail by Wyoming quarterback tyreus Davis out about he is tackled at the 41 yd line of Wyoming that's a gain of 20 in an Arizona State first down yeah last year Tyson had what 22 catches 470 yards five touchdowns he's explosive and he comes on that little Crossing route good protection for lit to throw the ball kaon Brown lined up as a wide receiver now motions into the backfield sets up to the right of L hand off to Brown heading to his left and kson is dragged down after a short gain of only a yard among the first to meet him was safety Wyatt Eckler for Wyoming also in on the play was defensive lineman Jaden Williams a 290 lb sophomore from Englewood California second and nine for the sundevils who lead it 27 to nothing they are at the Wyoming 40 with the first possession of the second half scabo and Xavier gillery line up wide to the right side tight end Marist and Douglas and Tyson are split to the left Lev out of the shotgun in an empty formation drops back and lops one deep downfield he's got Tyson but overthrows him inside the 5 yd line incomplete Tyson had his man beat tyreus Davis he was ahead of him by a couple of steps but the pass overthrown yeah Tyson lines up on the slot they have two receivers to the left side Tyson runs a a go route from the slot position position he's open but the ball thrown towards the pylons when the receiver starts inside like that got to pull him more towards the middle rather than fade him all the way out towards the pylons on third down levit pressured out of the pocket takes off and runs he's going to try to get the first down he's going to get a lot more inside the 30 yd line Sam is tackled at the 25 of Wyoming a 15yd Scramble for Sam levit to get the first down yeah one of the Cowboys is down I if he's cramping or they want to try to slow down this group it looks like Davis the corner is down right now yes it is tyrecus Davis out of Greenville Texas a 510 188 lb senior played three years of Joo ball at Navaro Community College in Texas as as they tend to De tyreus Davis on the field will

Colorado who scores his first ASU touchdown he had five receiving touchdowns last year for the Cincinnati Bearcats and how about the mobility of Sam levit on that play well remember I was talking earlier about how the two quarterbacks where one was trying to go out around the defensive ends trying to break contain yep levit is doing a great job of stepping up in the pocket he's looking to throw as he approaches the line of scrimmage we've already seen him run but now we saw him extend to play with his feet vertically towards the defense and then throw left the extra point good by Ian Hershey and with 11:03 left third quarter The sundevils increased their lead over the Wyoming Cowboys to 34 to nothing as we step aside for a break here on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil

it's amazing Jeff also runs our sales department I don't know if you knew that hey tell you what I'm up for a froster yeah or a frosty right right 79 cents I'm about 34 to nothing deal of ASU that's it is how about this score from Tucson at halftime Arizona 20 7 New Mexico 24 the Wildcat defense has given up over 300 yds in the first half of course their offense has also gained over 300 yards in the first half that's with Danny Gonzalez now on staff the ex head coach of New Mexico and former sundevil defensive coordinator now an assistant at Arizona well you would think he'd be really dialed into his old team and what their capabilities were of course he is not I don't think he is the D coordinator at Arizona but Danny is on staff down there just a wonderful human being that's for sure as the kickoff is a touch back out of the end zone and the Wyoming Cowboys will take over at their 25 yd line if I'm not mistaken I don't think the Cowboys have had a run a play from Arizona State side of the field tonight that's crazy 11:03 remaining third quarter Evans Spoto will line up under Center on First and 10 from the 25 yd line he'll hand the ball to his Running Back DJ Jones the former North Carolina tarhill not big but she shows some muscle as he drives forward for a gain of five before linebacker kesan Elliott makes the first hit for ASU you know the Wyoming only has three first downs on the game remarkable the defensive the defense is playing unbelievable only asu's defense has only given up 58 yds on second down and five here's Jones again and zyrus FIA wraps up up and drops him for no gain at the 30 yd line setting up a third and five here's another interesting scorer from today I was going to I almost said a Pack 12 score but our friends from the Big 10 the Oregon Ducks a tougher than expected 2414 home win over Idaho today at Aon stadium in the Ducks first game as a big 10 school we'll have a scoreboard update at the end of this third quarter for you third down at five from the 30 again they run the ball with Jones and he is dropped by quarterback Javin Robinson the one-time Washington State Cougar first time we've called his name tonight after a gain of only a yard Robinson makes the nice tackle of DJ Jones and will force yet another Wyoming punt yeah that's a great defensive scheme right Robinson is a corner he came on a blitz The Tackle was looking out there miles sees him coming but he's miles just off balance enough that Robins was able to use his speed and get there and give Coach Ward a lot of credit for bringing a corner Blitz into a third down and right into the running back's face Jack culberth averaging 45 yards on his first four punts and he booms this one down to stoval who Fields it inside the 20 and trying to work his way free and gets up field for a couple of yards to about the 22 of Arizona State so it'll be a first down and 10 for the sundevils after that punt by cber boy cber has quite a leg doesn't he yeah he's he's probably the only bright spot so far for Wyoming here Leven still in a quarterback I think when you next couple of drives a lot of times you'd say why is your quarterback out there right you know game's 34 to zero flip side is you got a Young quarterback Y and you need to get him reps and you have an SEC school coming in next week yes indeed Mississippi State here next Saturday night again a 7:30 kickoff boy if you don't have tickets you might want to come in and watch that one I would strongly suggest you do something about that folks first down hand off to Brooks and D Carlos Brooks nice run out past the 30 to the 31 yd line and he's close to a first down I think he's going to be about a yard short boy I thought D Carlos ran the ball really well last year when he was healthy that was the problem he missed about half the season with uh seven games in fact with a couple of different injuries his signature game last year against Washington State when he ran for 67 yards and three touchdowns in the sundevils win over the Cougars and we have yet another injured Cowboy down on the field this might be kramps uh for we can't quite make out who the player is you know I was watching that last replay we think it is defensive end Tyce Westland watching that last replay Maxi hanor the right tackle pulled through all the way to the left side between left guard and left tackle a counter tray type thing without having two of them right ASU ran that play earlier they they brought two they brought the center cuz he was uncovered and the right tackle that time they just brought Max by himself but good job by Max getting out of his stance coming behind the offensive lineman and leading up through the hole boy remember when uh the Washington Redskins Joe Gibbs was their coach John rigin's running the ball and they they feasted on that counter Gap where he would take the left guard and left tackle or Right Guard and right tackle and pull them to the left and just lead the way for Rigo and company and they won Super Bowls with that play as they continue to work with uh Ty Westland yeah this just looks like a cramp they've got his yeah right foot in the air and they're bending that wesland is from Pleasanton Nebraska he actually played eight-man football in high school I wonder how how you I never even seen how you would put that formation together right I haven't either it would be fascinating you go see that sometime we had a guy uh boy sa Tes of Polo was a defensive ENT right we got him I believe from like pgoo right it was some you know he he said go to Hawaii then go four hours um but he came to camp and and he was trying to explain it that he played eight-man football you know long hair and he was a defensive end I asked him what he played I play out wide go find the quarterback I said hey I'm Jeff you know during Camp you and our buddies just FYI yeah yeah just anybody coming off the islands playing eight-man football got be scared of oh man for sure well good news is Ty wand's up on his feet but he too walking slowly to the other side although as rapper said it clearly looks like a case of uh cramping of course Cowboys play up in laramy Wyoming which would be one heck of a nice place to be in the summertime I tell you great summer weather but I don't think they get too many days like uh what we what we uh experience here in Phoenix during the course of the summer although by by our standard I think this is a relatively comfortable night here at the uh at the old Bard for the season [Music] opener second down and one after that nyd run by D Carlos Brooks we're ready to continue play once again Malik mlan is in as a wide receiver split wide to the left side along with tight end Cameron harpole San Diego State transfer they'll give the ball to Brooks no le it will keep it and that's good yardage up the near side of the field and is into Wyoming territory to the 48 yd line that's a 20yd pickup for Sam levit boy Sam is really not only the running but how about the ball fakes ball fakes are great how about Marcus Oro calling the offense he he got a man-to-man formation with that set in manto man nobody really accounts for the quarterback they faked the RPO to the right side quarterback kept it to the left I cheated a yard that's a 21 yd pickup for 11 first and 10 now Sam looking to throw rolls right plenty of time uncontested throws complete to Tyson for a first down at the far sideline bumped into the Wyoming bench area at the 37 yd line that'll be an 11 yd pickup and another ASU first down I like that throw he took a little bit off of it it was a firm line drive if if you know what I mean a firm arcing Line Drive confident in his rotation took a little bit off made it sure it was a catch two receivers to either side hand off to Brooks heading right cuts it back up field not much there and as D Carlos has gang tackled after a yard gain as uh among the tacklers for Wyoming defensive end Ethan day and linebacker Shay Su onoa some subs coming in for the sundevils Marist and Douglas the Florida state transfer checks in at tight end melquan stoval checks in as well so too does running back Cameron scabo second and nine from the Wyoming 36 yd line third 34 to nothing Arizona State leads it Midway through the third quarter a high snap but levit gets it flips it to snowball incomplete and then stoval got popped as that ball zipped over his head as Nickelback Rook Brown of Wyoming delivered a hit on Stovall just as that ball zoomed over his head incomplete yeah Martell Hughes got to do a little better job out there blocking and he's lined up he's helped blocking for stoval stoval is not expecting to get hit on that and I'm sorry that was Marcus and Douglas we have two number 18's tight end for ASU third and nine levit looking to throw hit as he throws the pass incomplete intended for Tyson on a Post Corner route down inside the 15 yd line and once again levit stood tall in the face of pressure and got the pass off but no doubt the pass uh trajectory impacted somewhat by the pressure that he was experiencing on that play had a cover two look two deep safeties Tyson runs a Post Corner route and he's there but devils are going to go for it on Fourth and nine from the Wyoming 36 yd line or will they levit calling signals now looks to the sideline and I think uh the sundevils will just let the play clock run down and perhaps uh they'll take the take a 5y penalty offense number 10 5y penalty still fourth down so perhaps will this be the ASU punting debut of Horizon High School product Canyon Floyd or the Premier High School punters in the country a year ago he's been the holder on all of Ian Hershey's placement Place kicks tonight but uh only part of the special teams that we haven't seen yet tday and we're about to see now 3 so here is Canyon Flo he averaged over 48 yards per punt in his high school career at Horizon one of the few true freshman likely to see the field as a true freshman this year for Arizona [Music] State Caleb kolie is back inside the 10 as Floyd gets a highend overend punt hits inside the five around the two and then bounds into the end zone for the Touchback so it'll be a punt of 41y yards for Floyd but only a net of uh 21 as we have a Timeout on the field 645 remaining in the third quarter and it's an ASU 34 to nothing lead over Wyoming as we take a break on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil radio network it takes hard work to be the best in the game planning commitment resilience sweat that's why

Arizona State lead over the Wyoming Cowboys along with Jeff Van rapor and Kevin Turner I'm Tim Healey and Kevin Turner if you're wired in listening uh it seems as though some of the energy has been drained out of the building a lot of the fans have left what's it like down on the sideline right now is sundevils are playing one of their best games in a couple of years yeah on the ASU sideline the lower bowl is still packed on the far side where we had some Cowboy fans they've kind of left and I think some of the student body you know think about it they know this one's in the bag 6:45 to go it's hot nothing better than a ice cold brew that's probably where they're headed that's what my dad told me he said Son don't let College get in the way your education when you go to ASU that's right first and 10 handoff to DJ Jones the former Tar Heel of North Carolina and he gets a couple Justin wattley Cincinnati transfer among those in on the tackle after about a three- yard game that might have been the most honest sideline interview we've heard in a long time that's there you Kevin's known from pontificating but he always tells the truth oh man second down and seven now subot lineup in the shotgun Tyler King in motion saota throws it swings it over to King who can't handle the Pass that might be a fumble as he mishandled the ball a sideline pass and it's picked up and run back in by Justin Watley and that maybe in is an Arizona State touchdown down holy moly what a play that was on the field is a backwards pass recovered by ASU for touchdown and that's exactly what it was as Tyler King the Texas Tech transfer motion from right to left and then Spoto threw him a swing pass out of the back field but it was a backwards pass and King mishandled it previous play and the ruling of a touchdown is under further review and now they're going to take another look at this to see if it indeed will be a touchdown the loose ball scooped up by Justin wattley who uh if it stands upon review will have a touchdown in his first career game as an Arizona State sundevil one-time player at Cincinnati and this official review is brought to you by accident law group supporting the community whether it's in the courtroom or on the field find this online at accident lawgroup.com or call 48900 hurt that was a nice job by Watley of hustle into the ball right he's a defensive end ball gets thrown to the perimeter it's behind the receiver going to be real close when they look at it on replay but coto's had a really rough night and he missed that one not only missed it behind but he missed it low so it's hard for the running back to spin around and catch that ball and you heard Kevin Turner had he had the proverbial Bird's eyee view of the play and it was clearly a backwards pass it it's it's pretty close when you look at it on on TV fox has got it on replay right now and Dean blandino is I think the question is is it uh well obviously uh he mishandled the the ball never had control of it but and it was a backwards pass so I think that that's what they're trying to look at and when you look at the tape it's really close further review the will on the field stands touchdown yep so you heard him say stands that means it's not confirmed as looking at the replay KT it looked a little dicier you had a better view obviously though it was unequivocal that it was a backward pass I was absolutely perpendicular to the quarterback and from my vantage point on the field it was it was more than backward but that higher camera Viewpoint it it looked questionable but from the field level there was no doubt so it is a touchdown for Justin Watley it's the sunnd devil's second defensive touchdown of tonight's game as Ian Hershey is on to convert and does boot the extra point through to give the sundevils a 41 to nothing lead over the Wyoming Cowboys as we have a timeout with 607 left third quarter we'll take it here on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil radio network for 150 years college students have played the game of football a lot has changed in a century and a half the 20 the 10 touchdown and there's more change to come no matter what

football ESPN 620 a.m. we are your sub tidbits uh Network that's for sure we got a bunch of them tonight with this 41 to nothing Arizona State lead Justin watley's uh I guess that will technically go in the books as a fumble recovery return for the touchdown off the uh mishandled lateral pass by Wyoming wide receiver Tyler King with their 41 points now the sundevils have scored more points tonight than they did in any single game last year their season High a year ago 38 in their 38-27 win over Washington State here October 28th furthermore we told you about the student section although a lot of it's cleared out now but at game start the second largest student crowd ever here at Mountain America Stadium 13,692 students attending tonight's game the largest student crowd came a decade ago over 14,000 in a game against UCLA a Thursday night game in September 2014 that was the game you may recall where the Devils took it on the chins 62- 27 against UCLA and then nine days later came the jail Mary as the kickoff by Parker Lewis goes out of the end zone for a Touchback and the Wyoming Cowboys once again will start at their 25 yd line but kudos to the students at least in the first half showing up and packing the South End Zone in nearly record setting fashion you don't realize what an advantage that is you know for a team especially a young team just you know out go out have energy from the crowd your crowd you're comfortable in this Stadium you've been practicing in the stadium but now you come out and it's full just a great environment and players really love it fans are you're very much needed so please come out and support this team yes indeed Cowboys continue on as Evans faota goes back to pass he throws downfield and that pass is overthrown incomplete as uh two sundevils were near on the play yeah I don't think the receiver saw the ball at all looked like a pitch and go on the far side the left side it was a fade route so about as a right-handed quarterback and LT Welch and safety zavon Alford among those back there just not tracking on the ball and so too was Nickelback Cole Martin second down and 10 from the 25 Jones Remains the setback for w W oming the one time North Carolina tarel gets the hand off here and kesan Elliott gets him around the ankle and won't let him go and drops him after a gain of one yard on the play almost looked like a run blitz if you will Elliott coming and H he was able to latch on to the uh ankles of DJ Jones and wouldn't let go yeah Iris came through early on the blitz and then that left kesan Elliott to clean it up so they brought a linebacker Blitz number 44 kesan Elliott is in there to make the tackle but bran Ward's defense put some pressure on theing Arizona State 30 seconds sundevils will take a timeout here to stop the clock with 535 remaining in the third period and ASU leading 41 to nothing and rappers reference in several times but again we would urge you to get your tickets next Saturday night the Southeastern Conference will be in town the Mississippi State Bulldogs coming off a rough season a year ago in which they went five and seven and and uh uh they have a new head coach Jeff Levy who has been a very successful offensive coordinator at several stops uh in college football in recent years including the University of Oklahoma and their quarterback is a Baylor transfer Blake shapen a young man who was a talented player two-time honorable mention all Big 12 at Baylor a kid who was at one time recruited to play football and baseball here at Arizona State that's next Saturday night 7:30 ASU and Mississippi State I love it when SEC schools come in big boy football yes indeed third and nine swaboda back throwing deep down The Far Side he's got a man open but overthrows Tyler King incomplete boy King had a step but the ball slightly overthrown Cole Martin was the closest Defender Cole Martin the Oregon Transfer a onetime start Bas of high school in Chandler he had an interception for the Ducks last year against Arizona State here in that late season game one by Oregon and once again Wyoming will punt their punter tonight Jack cber has been the busiest man on the football team he has got some kind of leg and this one's a pretty good kick as well melan stoval Fields it at the 33 and then he gets swarmed under immediately after Fielding the punt and uh no gain on the play play Wyatt Eckler downfield a 52 yd kick for culberth no return and the sundevils will take over at their 33 yd line leading 41 to nothing 520 to go here in the third at Mountain America Stadium well Wyoming has a whopping 14 yards rushing tonight Tim they have a whopping 46 total yards incredible performance tonight by this sundevil defensive unit kept looking at my stat monitor here hit recycle refresh refresh can't be right but one of eight for the Cowboys on third down conversions Sam levit continues at quarterback he'll hand the ball off on first down and a short gain for kaison brown maybe just got back to the line of scrimmage the 23 yd line before he was H brought down by a couple of tacklers for the Cowboys got a new right tackle em bully is in at right tackle right now we kind of wanted to see him get in there you said that EMT wasn't in uniform at practice the other day yeah on Wednesday he was not you know he was just kind of in casual cloes and you know he had his workout stuff in but great to see him at great to see him back out here remember he had that awful ankle injury in the second game of the year against Oklahoma State last year and had to sit out the rest of the season second down again Brown gets the call gets the carry and gets some yardage as he goes up field to about the 36 he'll pick up three or four on the play and it will set up a third down third and seven for Arizona state with under four and a half minutes remaining in the third quarter Ram wal is in at left tackle Kyle Scott is in he's playing left guard yeah we got a new center as well right I think that's fatano still at Center I do believe yeah yep okay now in fact last year Leaf fanu missed only one snap All Season F start there's a stat on him number one 5y penalty third down false start on Xavier gillery but fanu you talk about an Iron Man in fact he has 2,657 career snaps in his time at both UNLV and Arizona State that's the third most of any player in the FBS I have that I just look at that that's coming into tonight it's coming in tonight right yeah so third and 11 from the 32 for the Devils L it to throw on third down swings it over to Brown he's got a couple of blockers kaon Brown in the open field at Midfield now it's a foot race to the 40 30 20 10 5 touchdown Devils kaon Brown takes it to the house on a 68 yd catch and run touchdown fanu and Briggs out in front Briggs just get it's just enough of a block fatano gets a push down on the linebacker and from there it's Katy bodor he's out the gate and running Kason Brown 6'2 200lb running back from Lancaster he likes that that was a great call though he got it he got it into a man coverage and good job by Lev holding the ball letting the Defenders commit to him and then leaking it out to the right side Kon Brown's first career touchdown as Ian Hershey's extra point is good 40 8 to nothing in favor of ASU with 334 left third quarter and hey Tim was this really the big 12's pick to be the last place team the conference dead last baby ASU pick last in the Big 12 Conference media media day and well it shows you right yeah bunch of media experts you know what an expert is I told you this what x is a has been and a spurts a drip Under Pressure so we got a bunch of media experts that's right it you know I've always said that about uh a lot of those magazines a lot of the previews um you know I mean in deference we do have you know a couple of great uh guys like hod Rabino and Chris Cartman who do a magnificent job covering sundevil Sports and uh I think they occasionally will write the ASU previews for some magazines but some of the guys who do write the previews are like aign to conference and I don't know how much they really know about the teams about whom they're writing at time think about how hard it would be right 48 new players on scholarship 60 new players overall in this day and age how can you really accurately forecast who's going to finish where I remember I went to Tona and Rudy Rudy Burgess is ex he's the super fan of ASU football he has reserve seating on the hill at tanona and he was all excited as he goes into I think this is like 60th or 65th year of sundevil football and Rudy was telling me this team was going to be be really much better than people thought here's a kickoff return and coming out is Tyler King and he gets hit hard in front of the Arizona State bench at around the 27 yd line and it was Cole Martin the fellow we talked about a moment ago the Oregon Transfer yeah then he popped him he popped him and then Cole Martin put his hands together like Steph Curry like n i and said hey I'm I'm knocking to the ground trying to knock you out oh man at the 26 yd line is where or or Oregon I'm thinking of Cole Martin Wyoming will begin this possession with just under three and a half left to go freshman Rodney bimage has checked into the lineup at quarterback for Arizona State another talented true freshman seeing the field in his first ever college game first down hand off to DJ Jones and he is swarmed under no gain on the play in fact he lost a yard to the 25 take your pick of the tacklers Jacob Rich kunga the former AR a wildcat in there along with Justin wattley for the [Music] sundevils on second down and 11 a quick pass to the near side it's caught by the tight end miles and he gets dropped by bimage who laid the hit on Nick Miles after a gain to the 30 yd line again gain of four okay this is the most physical I've seen an ASU defensive secondary in a long time and even though they have the big lead they're not letting up they're playing this game full tilt a lot of different bodies getting to make plays bimage Martin a lot of guys getting their chance and making the most of it on third down and six botov to throw gets the pass off and he throws it to one of the underneath men is back Jones out of the back field and Jones has it and he's close to a first down at the 35 yd line but he's going to be a yard short and so with 218 left in the third and trailing already 48 to nothing Wyoming will go for it also into the ball game for Arizona State we see is Kamari Wilson Wilson a transfer from uh Florida and a highly recruited defensive back couple of years ago fourth and one from the 35 handoff to Jones and Jones oh with second effort is able to Lunge over the lot yard to gain and gets the first down to the 36 yd line at the first Contact he was short of the first down but his extra effort enabled him and the Cowboys to move the chains yeah cavon Thunderbird had a shot at him in the backfield they hit him and just did not bring him down crew Jackson is also playing in at linebacker right now yeah we'll have to identify some of the these defensive reserves for the Devils getting a chance defensive lineman JP deer and Tristan Munday are in there now as SWOT off play action gets away from one man but does not get away from Kavon Thunderbird the linebacker who gets his first career sack dropping SWOT back at the 31 yd line a loss of five yeah he got the sack but credit Kamari Wilson the defensive back he came on on pressure around the tight end that's the second time miles or third time miles has had trouble blocking and you mentioned it earlier in the game Tim when when they lost gillberg before this start it's really Hur of a pass protection on second down hand off to uh PJ Jones and Jones gets up to about the 35 36 yd line so he basically picked up the yards that were lost on the sack and it will set up a third and long with under 30 seconds to go in the third quarter as freshman linebacker Martell Hughes out of San Diego made that tackle for the Devils checking into the ball game now for ASU Albert Smith a true freshman defensive lineman from Terrytown Louisiana and the Cowboys are just going to let the clock run down uh and drain the clock here in the third quarter yeah no reason to run a play here third and 10 let the clock run out start it for the fourth quarter absolutely three quarters in the books here an opening night that just is uh the answer to SU devil fans prayers after a couple of lean seasons of football here at Mountain America it's been all Arizona State tonight on opening night 2024 in the opening of the Big 12 era of ASU football after three qus of play Arizona State 48 and Wyoming nothing we'll be

our Chaz Roberts top 25 scoreboard Chaz roberts.com for Arizona's leader in heating Plumbing Cooling and caring Jaz Roberts serving you since 42 second down and 15 for Wyoming as we start the fourth quarter the Cowboys are at their own 36 yd line Sam Scott has come in at running back a 230 lb junor from Omaha Nebraska and on second down spota back to pass flushed out of the pocket rolling to his right throws to the sideline incomplete the intended receiver was Jaylen Sargeant a junor and he ended up in the middle of the Wyoming bench defended by larence Welch interesting to look at the stats at the end of the game because a lot of players got on the field got some reps really going to bode well for the defense later in the year you really like to see that I I was mistaken that last play was a third down play so now the Cowboys are going to have to punt the ball yet again and they still to the best of my recollection have not run a play in Arizona State territory tonight as cbri who's been the star of the game with his great pting boots it away and it's fair call caught by the backpedaling melquan Stow ball after a 53 yd kick 53 y fair catch at the 12 yd line got into the wind I mean it doesn't look too windy down there the flags on the on the flag poles or on the field goal poles are going a little bit but I tell you what who cares if he was an FCS guy if you can kick you can kick you can see why he was a two-time FCS allamerican at VMI and how does he fall all the way down to Wyoming there's no way and he didn't get there until the summer I don't think they they he did not join their squad until this summer think about a new quarterback in the game by the way yes indeed we will get our first Arizona State look at former Nebraska corn husker and Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Jeff Sims from the 12 yd line Sims will hand the ball off to Alton mccal and mcal on his first sundevil Carry gets good yardage out to the 18 a pickup of six Mill is from uh Conroe Texas in 2021 he was the American Athletic Conference rookie of the year at at Houston when he ran for just under a th000 yds and 16 touchdowns had a knee injury that sidelined him in 22 last year played at Colorado but played sparingly and now transfers into Arizona State second down and four as Jeff Sims in the shotgun well again no he'll keep and Jeff Sims an excellent Runner has got a first down out past the 30 yd line to the 31 Sims on his first run as a sundevil picks up 13 yards and we have another injured Wyoming Cowboy on the play yeah and I believe that is their safety their veteran safety Isaac White Isaac White's 200 lb senior came up to make a tackle problem is Sims is 220 lbs and strong we'll take a timeout as they T to Isaac White on the field with our score ASU 48 and Wyoming

on the play for Mill and uh this is a deep running back room Arizona state has we've already seen Cameron scabo to Carlos Brooks kaon brown with that long touchdown catch and run earlier in the fourth quarter and now Alton mcll five-star transfer relique Brown from USC has been bothered by a hamstring injury through training camp but he should be ready to go soon and the Devils have a very talented freshman from Seattle true freshman Jason Brown as well hand off again to mcal on second down tried to squirt through a hole but they wouldn't let him as he got dragged down at the 34 after a gain of only a yard that was a nice Tackle by uh Jaden Williams a red shirt freshman nose tackle out of Brian Texas and now Jason Brown is checking into the lineup how about that we didn't think he would uh weren't sure if he was going to play this year of course he could play as many as four games and preserve his red shirt but he broke all of Miles gin's records at Bishop OD Day High School in Seattle miles gasin you'll recall the great running back for the Washington huskys a few years ago and Jason Brown gets the carry here and he finds a hole and has a first down and is still going out to the 45 yd line he's not very big but he packs a wallup Jason Brown picking up 11 yards on the play for Arizona State yeah he is he's got a quick feet I mean he goes into the hole between left guard and left tackle stutters finds a crease and then hits north south runs well behinds his pads delivers a blow and after contact he must have got four additional yards 510 205 pounder and just to give you a little bit of a listening alert over the course of the Season we're going to periodically visit with Jason on our pregame show kind of a a freshman Diary of a young man going through his first year in college he's a very articulate fell who wants to study in the kronite school in Arizona State and here's Jason Brown again finding a hole up the middle and working his way into Wyoming territory and picking up eight yards to the Cowboy 47 yd line so two impressive runs by Jason Brown and now he will come out of the lineup and gets a nice hand slap from coach Dillingham on the sideline as it will be a second down and uh two for Arizona state with just under 11 minutes remaining in regulation a 48 to nothing sundevil lead here on opening night ASU doing a nice job bleeding the clock down Jeff Sims a veteran quarterback knows how to M it four on the play clock right now Sims and kind of a busted play but Sims makes something out of it producing some chicken salad on that one as he gets a first down inside the 44 yd line it looked like Sims turned and was going to hand Alton mcal but uh yeah Sims opened to the field Masco went to the boundary and Sims looked there wasn't anybody there but what Sims did that was smart is he ran to where the blocking was where the hole was so he spun his back around and got into the hole and ideally if you're the running back then you should turn into a blocker yeah you know be a lead Blocker in that scenario Jeff Sims has been an outstanding Rush in his career at Georgia Tech he ran for over 1100 yards in his three years with the yellow jackets here's a handoff to mcal they make the connection that time and Alton mccal picks up about two getting down to the 42 yd line before he gets dropped on that play of course the issue with Jeff Sims at both Georgia Tech and mainly last year at Nebraska just the turnovers last year at Nebraska he passed for 282 yds one touchdown but six in interceptions and had some turnover issues at Georgia Tech although in his career at Georgia Tech he threw for over 4400 yards and 30 scores I saw him play on TV a couple of times when he was young the sophomore year I thought he was he he kind of reminds you of a of a skinnier Dante c pepper he he's got a just an absolute hoer for an arm he sure does as here's another give to mcal but he gets knocked off his pins before he's able to get too far up up field on the play and uh that tackle was made by Cole demarzo a resered linebacker for Wyoming who uh transferred in from Michigan State and a young man who comes from a pretty nice Hometown Hilton Head South Carolina third down and nine at the 43 under 9 minutes to go 48 to nothing the devil's in command one of the most impressive sundevil players of fall Camp is in there now walk-on wide receiver Derek us AO out of Plano Texas near Dallas Jason Brown back in he gets the handoff he's got open room he's got a first down as he's dragged down inside the 30 yd line at about the 25 and that'll be a first down actually they'll spot him I should say the 27 yd line but that is a 16 yd gain and three impressive runs on this drive by true freshman Jason Brown he's got great vision quick First Step low Center gravity I mean he's it's great you want a red shirt and but sometimes guys just play their way on the field and have have you noticed the theme of the running back room is what can Brown do for you three of the top six running backs have the surname of brown relique Jason and kaon yeah we haven't even seen reli yet here's Jason Brown but this time he gets stacked up as he tried to bounce it outside to his left and is going to be dropped uh at the 29 yd line losing uh a couple of yards on the play looks like Brown's out the casal's in so looks like every two plays they're flopping Jeff Sims is more than content just to keep running the ball let the clock go out Conor Shay on that last tackle for Wyoming as we're 7 and 1/2 minutes remaining ASU 48 Wyoming nothing what AER is the leading tackler and Isaac Isaac White the two safeties are the leading tacklers both with nine for was for uh it Wyoming here's mccal and uh he can't quite get by the first line of defense and is only able to get to the 26 a gain of three and that will set up a third down play Third and nine bring bring the Rook back in stop was made Braden ciders one of those in on the play Jaden Williams as well for Wyoming Jason Brown back in the game let's see what he can do usio is one of three receivers spit to the right side M Malik mlan is out there as well a botched handoff here Sims trying to get away and find room but he gets engulfed in a sea of white jerseys and is stopped he doesn't go down but forward progress stopped and where are they going to give him forward progress to the line of scrimmage the 26 so it's fourth down and uh looks like Kenny Dillingham will send on the field goal unit as Ian her she is hit on two or no now this is going to be a different kicker we're going to see carsten kefir a red shirt freshman from Corona Del Soul high and TB get his first opportunity to kick as a Sun Devil grandson of MP Lawrence from the 40 it'll be a 43 yd attempt out of the hold of Canyon Floyd but the kick is wide to the left no good and kefir unable to convert on his first opportunity so the the Devils have missed their last two field goal tries tonight but still with 554 left in regulation they have a more than comfortable 48 to nothing lead over Wyoming as we take a Timeout on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil radio network the

sundevil walk-on kicker Carston keeper ASU leading four 38 to nothing and by the way if you're wondering the last time the sundevils posted a shut out you have to go back 11 years to the Todd Graham era opening night September 5th 2013 when Todd's sundevil team blanked Sacramento State 55 to nothing that was the second largest shutout in the modern era of Arizona State football the Devils with a 48 to nothing lead here tonight they have held Wyoming to 56 total yards and perhaps most astounding of all I don't believe the Cowboys have run a single play from scrimmage in ASU territory Wyoming will take over at its 26 yd line first and 10 Kaden Anderson is now at quarterback for the Cowboys and he hands the ball off and it's a very short gain of only a yard and the carry was made by running back Jamari Fel Anderson is a 64 220lb red shirt freshman from that athletic Powerhouse in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex South Lake Carrol High School in South Lake Texas he was limited to six games due to injury as a senior there as he gets the snap here and with pressure coming from the rear he throws to The Far Side of the field incomplete he was trying to hit freshman receiver Chris Durr and Durr was well covered on the play by Nickelback Cole Martin setting up a third down good job by Martin running with the wide receiver not getting his hands on him kept up was right there stride for stride they tried to fade route inside slot receiver that time went down the hash and Faded towards Sidelines third and 10 for the Cowboys as Anderson will throw a short pass and it's caught by Durr and he is Gang tackled at about the 29 30 yd line kvon Thunderbird one of those in on the play Thunderbirds made a couple of nice plays including his first career sack a uh highly recruited uh he was a defensive back on I believe at high school at the Chicago area three star recruit converted to a linebacker here at ASU so once again we will see punter Jack krith for Wyoming how about this note every Drive of tonight's game both by the sundevils and by the Cowboys has ended in Wyoming territory noodle on that one for a minute as Culbreth gets off the kick and another good one Stow ball will field and a fair catch I didn't really see the signal but he must have set it pretty darn loud at the 22 yd line of Arizona state culberth has been able to flip the field tonight that was a 58 yd Punt and we will take a timeout here with just under 4 and 1/2 minutes remaining on opening night and a uh big win for the sundevils Just 4 and 1/2 minutes away Arizona State 48 Wyoming nothing here on the

48-31 Arizona lead over New Mexico with a little less than 3 minutes remaining in the third quarter and we may have an early candidate in the Heisman race my friends and uh though it's painful to say it on an Arizona State broadcast that player is Arizona receiving stud taroa McMillan tonight against New Mexico McMillan has nine receptions for 285 yards and four touchdowns he is averaging almost 32 yards per reception in tonight's game Noah faid his quarterback 67 both in high school Arizona number 67 is now wearing on 16 completions has thrown for 381 yds so it's a first down for Arizona State and a handoff and is that Kiona Pete we were told that you just heard the official say that number 67 is wearing number 35 for the sundevils and number 67 uh is sundevil offensive lineman Kona Pete who I believe just ran the football and uh picked lost a yard but ran the football how about that and he has come out of the lineup now as Jeff Sims continues at quarterback Alon Mill is the running back now Mill gets the carry and Mill doesn't find a lot of room on the left side as he gets out to about the 24 picking up three yards on the play Kenny's looking around like pop warner all right who hasn't gotten in who's got their minimum plays how many plays you got Healey seven okay you're out Bryce you're in you got six who hasn't played play oh it's got to be Evan yeah somebody get Evan in the game some guys switch switch uniforms switch numbers yeah Turner Turner's already had three touchdowns and 200 yards we don't need him anymore now we see uh coin boray is in a wide receiver the younger brother of sundevil quarterback Trenton boray and coin's had a nice fall camp on the end round Derek usabo gets the carry and yabo gets it to the 30 yd line before he gets thrown to the turf by linebacker Shay and that's two yd shy of the first down and so the sundevils will punt it away with just under three minutes left to go here on opening night I think you really want this punt I think you know if you're Kenny you want to see all parts of your special teams you want to execute them and give Canyon Floyd a chance to air one out he hasn't had many opportunities to punt tonight first one he had was in you know near Midfield end over endend this will be his first attempt at a spiral and Floyd sends it downfield it bounces inside the 30 is fielded on one hop and is returned uh by one of uh New Mexico or Wyoming's returners Caleb kolie a reserve receiver and he's been one of their Punk return men the last couple of years a sixy return for uh Caleb kie on the uh on the punt and so while Ying will take over still trying to get the ball on the Arizona State side of the field for the first time tonight with 216 left to go in regulation and trailing the Sun Devils 48 to nothing Kaden Anderson remains in at quarterback Sam Scott is the running back kind of a manfree look for by ASU and here's the handoff and Scott drags tacklers up the middle of the field for about uh four or five yards first hit coming from blazen Lona Wong a sophomore defensive lineman for ASU out of the state of Hawaii who's in there now as we have reached the two-minute Mark 2 minutes remaining here in regulation media timeout again in college football it's not the two-minute warning it is the two-minute timeout and we've reached it now with our score 48 to nothing in favor of ASU so let's take the break on the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil Radio Network for 150 years college students have played the game of football a lot has changed in a century and a half 20

Freight Line Old Dominion Freight Line works hard to be the best in the game and is proud to support those striving to be the best in theirs spectacular TouchDown for kaon brown tonight part of Arizona State's Onslaught in a 48 to nothing sunnd double lead over Wyoming at the two-minute Mark as the Cowboys have a second down and five at their 31 yd line with backup Kaden Anderson at quarterback Wyoming still has yet to run a play past Midfield tonight handoff here to Sam Scott Scott with room upfield and they may get there now oh Scott bumped off his pins by Montana war and sundevil safety at the 48 yd line after a 17 yd run so now they're two yards away from getting into ASU territory with still a minute 45 to try to do so first and 10 Anderson under Center gets the snap off play action drops back time to throw delivers over the middle and that ball is caught by Tyler King inside the 30 and for the first time tonight the Cowboys are in sundevil territory as king is brought down at the 29 yd line of Arizona state after a 23 yd game here's a handoff again to Sam Scott and the Omaha Nebraska native picks up three yards to the 26 tackled by Cole Martin as we have a minute 10 remaining clock ticking away Wyoming desperately trying to get on the board now that they've finally gotten into sundevil territory they are at the Arizona State 27 yd line Anderson to throw over the middle his pass is complete to tight end Isaac shenfield shenfeld makes his first catch of the evening and his first career regular season catch is a cowboy sophomore from Brock Springs Wyoming here's a handoff to Scott trying to get the first down on Third and short and he gets it as the ball is moved to the 19 yd line 33 seconds remaining and Wyoming desperately trying to get on the board here in the closing seconds I got you now got looking to throw Anderson throw for the far corner of the end zone and the pass is incomplete but there's a penalty marker down Jaylen Sergeant was the intended target Rodney bimage the true freshman cornerback in coverage and I think they're going to get bimage for pass interference fade route to The Far Side that timef Defense number 19 15 yards in the previous spot automatic first [Applause] down that 19 or 17 they said 19 but I don't think it was 19 I think it was uh Rodney bimage yeah I got 17 out there on the far side of the field Corner they tried to fade route that time receiver did a nice job of coming back back to the ball you know so many times in college football if that receiver doesn't fight back to the ball they don't get the call and he did a nice job right there bimage clearly didn't see it had his body into it pushing him out of bounds towards the sidelines so it's first and goal for the Cowboys at the ASU four yd line in the closing seconds Anderson looking to throw pressure coming he tries to take off stumbles down at the 4yd line and uh Wyoming will burn a timeout with 12 seconds left left to stop the clock first charge time out of the half Wyoming 30 seconds set the game clock to 14 seconds 14 seconds so they're going to put two extra seconds on the clock Anderson had an opening and had he not stumbled he might have been able to get in there but stumbled to the turf at the four so it'll be second down and goal for the Cowboys at the four yd line these are great Reps for these guys right here on defense you know get a chance to get out there and even though the game's out hand you're playing you're getting some reps and you got to defend ball is going to be right there inside the 10 it's a great first game for as Year too and I said all along I was so happy that they're not playing an FCS opponent this is a quality uh group of five team in Wyoming uh always a contender in the Mountain West coming off a nine win season a year ago and with a lot of returning players particularly on defense and returning almost their entire starting offensive line well and it's a team that has a tough schedule they're playing Arizona State BYU and Washington State yeah in their non-conference so kudos to them second and goal at the four hand off to Scott Sam Scott dropped at the three yd line they won't let him in there kvon Thunderbird in on the tackle second charge time out of the half and a second charge timeout Wyoming Martell Hughes also in on the play for the Devils two young linebackers Arizona State so much so much improved at uh really at every level of Defense but Kenny's talked a lot in the fall Camp about how much improved they are at the linebacker spot from a year ago yeah he he was a young freshman out of is he Madison or Morris he's out of San Diego and nice to see Arizona State hit some of the San Diego Madison is is that where no uh I was thinking of Marcus Allen he went to Lincoln and Eric Allen he went to point L Danny salbu went to Sweetwater obviously that was from Mahone right over there yeah Malon from Mone a lot of good players that come out of that that's for sure 619 AA code and good to see ASU recruiting there 8 seconds left third and goal at the three Anderson throwing out to the far flat it's caught by Chris dur the freshman and dur races for the pylon and he gets there with two seconds left in the ball game and Wyoming spoils the sundevil shutout bid Arizona State 2 seconds away from its first shut out in 11 years and the Cowboys on a third and goal from the three score on Kaden Anderson's pass into the far flat to true freshman slot receiver Chris Durr Jr and the Freshman from Morgan Park High School in Chicago sprinted to the pylon and got there to get the score and get Wyoming on the board for the first time tonight so John holand their groa award watch list Place kicker will attempt to tack on the extra point here and he does with two seconds left and it makes it a 48-7 ball game in favor of Arizona State one thing uh I would like to make a plea to all sundevil fans who are at the game and are driving home we need you for the fulltime next week yeah come here be loud but plan on staying late CU after after the last two seasons wouldn't you want to soak up every bit of a game where your team is playing the way the Devils have played tonight I mean this is this has really been fun and it's going to get real fun next week with the SEC school here you know you got we need to be the reputation of we're Grinders that we're going to stay and we're going to be allow you know one one other uh we should get special prayers out I don't know if you guys saw ex sundevil and croner Del Soul wide receiver Ricky peera was shot in an accident a robbery attempt by a young Juvenile and unfortunately Ricky was shot the chess he's in stable condition in San Francisco first round draft pick by the 49ers this year just a horrible situation where a great kid and really got himself to he he he started to come on at Arizona State and then uh his time at Florida got him in the first round where the 49ers drafted him and our best uh thoughts and wishes go out to Ricky and to his family of course Ricky played I believe at Corona del so high right down the street here in 10 no it's just you just want to be a pro player you don't you're not expecting to get robbed in daylight that's just horrible hope recovers really quickly here's the kickoff it's a short kick and it's taken by one of the upbs Jake Smith but uh Jake had to field it on one hop but uh called a fair Catch and that is how the game ends and Arizona state with an impressive performance on opening night as we begin year two of the Kenny Dillingham era and year one of asu's Big 12 era of sundevil football Arizona state with a 48-7 win although is this it or not the officials are gathering and I think are they saying that's it I think they are saying that is the end of the game as that kickoff was fielded on one hop by Jake Smith who I think was going to call for a fair catch but in any event the ball game is over and the sundevils have won it and won it impressively setting the tone on the second play of the game with zyrus fiau pick six touchdown return moments later A kesan Elliott interception gave the Devils uh the momentum to get a field goal and you could say the route was on at that point and the sundevils Win It 48 to7 Wyoming's only points scoring in the final 2 seconds of play and now uh ASU off to a one and0 start in 2024 as we check in with Kevin Turner standing by the sideline all right guys down here with winning quarterback the new starter Sam levit EX game tonight 259 yards two

the atmosphere for the first time it was super fun how was it to see your defense score and put the pressure on Wyoming early in this game oh you know it takes so much relief off of me and the entire offense uh you know and it's not it's not uh by chance that that happens you know we rep that so much in preaching and practice coach Dillingham preaches you know takeaways and ball disruption for the

locker room show go for dose we welcome you back to Mountain America Stadium you couldn't have asked for a better home opener and what the sundevils had here tonight after two tough three and nine Seasons back to back the Devils put on a uh tour to force if you will this evening scoring on a pick six on the second play of the game that set the tone in Arizona State State routes longtime former Western Athletic Conference rival Wyoming 48-7 out gaining the Cowboys Jeff 499 yards to 118 27 first downs to just eight for Wyoming the Cowboys didn't get into ASU territory till the final possession of the game and didn't score until the final two seconds of the game what impressed you most tonight yeah I just think the aggressiveness from the defensive backs and in the defense in general I thought right from the beginning they were playing fast we talked about the word I kept using a lot was speed and fast and guys were decisive um and I think that's a lot of that's coaching they know where to go they're playing loose and they're playing aggressive so I really like that um levit really impressed me not with his throwing but with his feet and what I really liked is how he climbed the pocket vertically didn't try to escape out he was moving forward vertically his eyes were up we saw him throw once to the left we saw him keep it a couple of times that will bode well for him now I think Kitty's going to have a conversation with him hey that's great but week in and week out we don't want you rushing you know eight or nine 10 times he had eight carries for a net of 47 yards but if you add back into the sacks it puts them over 50 yards rushing so um you know a lot to be excited for a lot of great things it'll be fun to talk to coach Dillingham in the postgame show Sam Levitz passing numbers tonight 14 of 22 258 yards two touchdowns did not throw an interception and was sacked twice but as Jeff mentioned the rushing yards eight car carries for a net of 47 yards and that's still an average of almost 6 yards a carry even factoring in The Yards he lost on the two sacks uh the sundevils leading rusher tonight cam scabo had 11 carries 49 yards and a touchdown D Carlos Brooks 47 yards and a touchdown on only six carries and even freshman Jason Brown got in late and had four nice runs for 33 yards averaging eight yards a carry Jordan Tyson with four receptions the leading receiver Jake Smith had three Evans faota in his return home the Red Mountain High School product starting a quarterback for Wyoming had a rough night six of 15 for just 42 yards two interceptions and he was sacked uh three times a tough night for him but uh boy oh boy just in every aspect Jeff you just couldn't have asked for a better performance I don't think great opening you know great opening game lot few penalties W the turnover battle good game for the issue we'll take a timeout and then we hope to be visiting shortly with sundevil head coach Kenny Dillingham all

took care of the football we played really really hard but we played smart we didn't I mean there was a few penalties in there we got to clean up but we had no stupid penalties uh and uh that's what I was proud of you can play with hard you can play with a passion and uh we got we we pretty we played pretty clean football and we stopped the run this team runs uh statistically when they were held under 120 they they were 0 and 12 in the last three years over under 120 yards rushing and we held them to 40 yards rushing and uh that's a testament to those guys and how we've been practicing and how hard we've been working and couldn't be be more proud of that defense group yeah it's a program that ran the ball I think 61% of the time last year and even with a new coordinator you knew they were going to try to establish the Run game and your defense just didn't let him do it did they no I mean we talked about it all Camp all spring all fall that we got to be a tough football team and uh you have to practice tough you you can't just flip a switch and be good at something and these guys have put in the work they've been practicing hard uh offensively and defensively I mean we rushed for 241 yards tonight and held them to 40 that's a 200 yard difference for a team who runs the ball well and stops the Run well uh over the last 10 years of football and uh I couldn't be more proud of uh the big boys up front and uh our football team right now and I imagine you're proud of your freshman quarterback Sam levit for his performance tonight how would you size up Sam's play yeah you know the best thing he did was he didn't make the moment too big uh and when you're young when you're playing your first game he moved in the pocket well he didn't Panic he scrambled made some plays on the run to extend drives he didn't force the ball when he scrambled he could have but he didn't and it showed the composure of a guy who can win a lot of football games sorry because he kept us in good down in distances sometimes on those scrambles uh obviously a few learning things for him but I mean what a awesome way to start your career as a starting quarterback here at Arizona State and uh start some a career that I think is going to be a career that people remember coach when I was I was just watching the two quarterbacks during the game and and I was telling Tim I said you know I just really like how Lev's climbing the pocket vertically his eyes are up he's still looking to throw till he gets near the line of scrimmage and you know conversely Wyoming saot a couple of times tried to get out around the edge and just couldn't do it and as a result you took that that big sack um so kudos to him kudos for you guys coaching that way tell me about the uh headsets the communication how would you grade the new technology the use of the iPads how did that go for the first time yeah I thought it went well and we just get to watch the plays talk through it it's like you you B it's like the Whiteboard but you actually get to watch the live film and you're never wrong but both sides have it so I I don't know how much of an advantage it is if both sides have it uh it's just you don't have to be as good watching it live as you were helmet communication was awesome uh being able to talk to the quarterback and a defensive player uh was awesome now was only one player can only one coach that can talk to the quarterback or can you and only one guy can have the mic gotcha yeah game day is my easiest day it's kind of like my day off you guys certainly had a good one special teams look good I was telling Tim I you know these are the first games you want where you got a lot of guys that were able to get experience I saw you flop tackles you got a lot of young guys in and and then most importantly got out without an injury yeah I mean uh got out I mean fairly healthy which is nice uh and we did get to get some of the young guys in Jason Brown went in there and did a really nice job uh Pete I mean I don't know if you guys noticed that Pete we did catch that popped in and ran uh ran an outside zone for us our our Center Tim caught that uh ran in and ran an outside zone for us so that was nice we're just fired up for that family and he got that opportunity tonight now does that mean that all the offensive Lin are going to be politicking for for carries yeah they may be but they won't get them it's not a democracy yeah I mean this is it uh we're kind of a democracy but not when it comes to that Kenny The Joint should be hopping here next Saturday night you have a Southeastern Conference Team coming in in Mississippi State I know you're hoping for a great atmosphere uh just uh some thoughts on that game looming ahead for your team uh in week two yeah uh I don't quote me on this but I'm pretty confident Arizona State's never beaten uh a current SEC team or a team when they're in the SEC we've never won an SEC game uh I was told that the other day it's not the most credible Source uh it's a pretty good source uh but it's not the most credible so I feel like it's accurate so hopefully we can break that Trend and start the season on a really good note doing something that's never been done here a somewhat informed Source has told wait a minute so I got a millennial coach all of a sudden now is trying to Source everything and not going with it the source was Doug Tamaro okay you got to take it with a me he's actually a pretty good source in that type of situation but I didn't want to put him on blast in case he was wrong I was trying to protect no we won't say Doug camo said that no we won't do that at all well done Kenny good journalism standards there appreciate it Bud congratulations on a great win for your team enjoyed the Labor Day holiday and we'll talk to you the tell the coaches and their families and wives that all sacrificed so much thank you congratulations on the first win to all of them as well I appreciate it and thank you to sundevil Nation for coming out it was good crowd tonight uh we need you out here next week uh we need a HomeField Advantage we need this place to be loud and rocking uh for this SEC opponent and uh we're going to put a product out there that you can be proud to watch I think that's pretty obvious from tonight thanks coach thank you have a great night Kenny Dillingham sundevil head coach joining

Turner I'm Tim Healey Arizona State wins it tonight 48-7 over Wyoming and we have bonus coverage for you from the sundevil locker room we just visited with head coach Kenny Dillingham moments ago and tonight we also have a player interview for you and standing by in the locker room is sundevil sophomore running back Tyson Brown who had one of the most electrifying plays of the night on his 68 yard catch and run on a pass from quarterback Sam levit kaon take us through that play it was nice to see all that open field once you caught the ball wasn't man well I seen green and I just I just said go um it was a it was a great play about a a collective unit um I think it was just a great play call and you know I seen it I just hit it and go you made some you had some moments last year but how good did it feel what was the feeling like when you got into the end zone for your first Collegiate touchdown man it felt so good getting in that Endzone you know um I actually uh said something to Watt uh Justin Watley um I see I seen him score on the scooping score and I was like man how you get one before me so I said I gotta I got to get in there now so it was it felt good to get in there you know get in the endzone again for sure and tell me your thoughts on Sam lit's play tonight pretty impressive for a red shirt freshman in his first ever start to do what he did what was your take on his man I think I'm proud of Sam um the moment wasn't too big for him he he showed that he was cool and Collective and he showed that he could run this offense so I'm proud of him um he's played good all all spring all I mean all summer he's been you know who he's shown so I think he was able to Showcase that you know he was able to lead this team that was interesting uh you said that because that's the exact same thing Kenny Dillingham said I think the first thing he thought of the moment wasn't too big for Sam that bodess well for his future doesn't it how do how do you see him growing into this job man I just um Sam you know he has a lot of great characteristics about him and I just I see him growing more as a more as a leader on this team I mean he's young and I think uh that allows him to uh grow more and be the the guy he is so I think just you know him getting comfortable you know settling in into the seat I think that plays a lot you know of you know his first game yeah I'll bet what was it like we all know that last year your team uh defensively was not able to come up with a lot of takeaways to get a pick six on the second play of the Season zyrus F what's going on in the sideline when you're watching that un man um I mean I I I can say that we we we expected it but I mean it kind of wasn't expected on the second play but zyrus has been playing light out all you know all uh all summer um he he does that numerous amount of times a fall Camp I don't know how many picks he had but I mean we've seen that before from him so it wasn't surprising to see him catch that pick but second game uh as a offense you know we we all on the field jumping up seeing them scor for you know I think it was a great a great start to the game he got us start with our heads on fire so I think that was great for for for Z no question that was that was a tone Setter and uh watching you guys in Fall practice I have had the sense all along that you guys could not wait for tonight because you really wanted to show what you could do as a team uh and to prove the naysayers you picked the El last in the Big 12 uh that they're they're wrong how did you feel about that what what did you sense was your team's mindset coming into this game um I just think it was great for us to get on that field and just you know finally get to hit somebody else I mean we we've channeled all the negative the negative talk all the naysayers all the you know and we just use that as fuel you know we we we just wanted to show that we a totally different team that's coming in with a totally different mindset and I think that we were able to show cpses of that tonight but it's far from you know our Peak and I think we showed that tonight that we're not we're not that 0 and 12 team or three and behind Team or whatever they say we're not none of that so I think uh it was just good getting out on the field with the guys man seeing everybody smile seeing everybody you know you worked so hard during the offseason it's been a long long seven months and I think it's good to see you know a lot of those guys you know get the the moments that they've been waiting for and a lot of the transfer guys you know to be happy again so I think it's just seeing that it just allows our Brotherhood to grow and how cool is it that you get to take this momentum into a week 2 game against an SC DC opponent coming in here next week I think uh it's cool it's cooler for me because I'm from Mississippi I'm to Bel Mississippi so um I get to play against a lot of guys that I know from you know around the way so I think it's going to be a good little a good little game for me and I think it's good that you know we have this momentum leaning up into you know a big game so I think uh we got to we got to practice hard this week and come ready absolutely well enjoy this one enjoy the Labor Day weekend and kaon thanks for visiting with us Bud appreciate it thank y'all kaon Brown sundevil running back who had one of the plays of the game tonight with his 68 yard catch and run TD in Arizona States uh the victory over Wyoming tonight by the final score of 48-7 as so Jeff some final thoughts from you before we bid ad du and uh get Jeff mun Sean crestman and KT here for uh sundevil sound off yeah know a lot of people are going to want to call in and they should call in lot to be excited about with this team good first win it was like you said not I thought it was pretty well spoken earlier not an FCS opponent it was a you know team that was pretty solid in Wyoming last year won four their last five games won a bowl game and and to come out and do what they did was was impressive the speed overall was great three different receivers had 100 yards um that's always nice Jake Smith got 100 yards we talked about Kason Brown and and then the tight end got another 100 as well so just really uh exciting when the balls get spread around a lot of guys make tackles a lot of energy and and now you get some excitement going into an SEC foe next week against Michigan State let's bring it home yes indeed and that'll do it for our portion of the broadcast but again we invite you to stick around for sundevil SoundOff that's uh coming up next again be with us next Saturday night when the Mississippi State Bulldogs who by the way won their opener tonight with a score similar

academic scholarship community services and mentoring when you play Arizona wins you're listening to the Mountain America Credit Union sundevil radio network sundevil soundof is presented by Topo Chico hard Seltzer the official hard Seltzer of sundevil Athletics now here's Jeff Mah Kevin Turner and Sean cresen hard to think of anything that really went wrong tonight other than giving up a touchdown with two seconds to go and this is sundevil sound off along with Kevin Turner and Sean crestman Jeff mun and Arizona State 48-7 victory over Wyoming and let's go back in time to about 6:25 this evening when we got Kevin Turner's keys to the game and Kevin what were they well number one it was quarterback had a possess the football check quarterback had to go through his progressions check he had to keep it boring check down yeah right I because I I I did call up here to Van rapor I said are you sure you want your quarterback in the first game running as aggressively as he is yeah and then I said the offensive line had to sustain their run blocks check protect the quarterback check then on the defensive side I said they have got to create the focus should be 100% on turnovers boom boom boom three three turnovers the thing that uh just thinking about levit night there were a number of instances I mentioned this at halftime where he got hit and hit hard whether it was a running play where he took off or that one personal foul penalty in the second quarter and especially on that play I held my breath I thought get up Sam get up get up and every time got to this guy's tough yeah well you think about what coach Joe Connelly and that strength staff did they really got after it and you could see on the sidelines the difference between last year's team and this year's team number one they weren't they didn't look like they were working as hard when they came off after a after a drive you can see the the tonality of the and their and their body makeup and the loss of body fat and you look at their flexibility and I'll use cam scabo as exhibit a he got twisted up three or four times and I'm like oh my God it looked like he might be going to the hospital and he's like Gumby he just bounces right back up he's absolutely one of the most flexible hard charging you know three yards in a cloud of dust running backs that that I've seen in a long time but he's got the other thing that he has that a lot of other backs don't have because of his center of gravity he's got great contact balance so he's hit he spins he fights he's always getting two three four yards after it looks like he's dead to rights and so that's what that's what impresses me most about him is his desire to sell out every time he gets hit yeah and I had a chance to engage him a couple times during practice had a smile on it last year he had a scowl it seemed like a a scowl every time I talk to him this year he's got an earto ear grin it looks like he's enjoying it he's having fun with it I think he's totally bought into this Kenny Dillingham process well I mean I don't know he's like old man get away from me what do you got for me no he's he definitely got a smile on his face and he had an earto ear grin I don't know if you guys saw on the big screen in between a timeout there was a young man that they had up and he was a yo-yo expert and scbo was getting the biggest uh kick out of that uh thing up on the on the diamond Vision it was a lot of fun to see him with that again ear to ear grin but I just thought this was one of the cleanest games I've seen any football team play in a long time we talked about playing with poise and discipline tonight was all about Poise and discipline exactly I I would agree it it and it seemed like anything ASU wanted to do offensively they did it seemed like every you know Sam did go through his progressions but wherever he was throwing the ball that receiver was open and they were getting chunks of yardage we talked about this in the pregame as well more of an emphasis on vertical passing as opposed to just throwing to the sidelines and getting somebody out in space and it just I was just so impressed because this is a Wyoming we talked about this in the pregame they won nine games last year went to a bowl game so it's not like they were beating up on a weak opponent and they just had everything that they wanted offensively yeah and I think it all it all started and I talked to Kenny about it at halftime was just what I saw on in the first half was one word physicality these guys were flying around with bad intentions on the defensive side of the football especially in the secondary right k was these guys came to play and they fall out tonight yeah just an impressive uh Victory all the way around let's get you a phone

with the all electric id4 SUV visit your VW Phoenix Metro dealer today Volkswagen a proud partner of suevel Athletics the you talked about it Kevin the Poise that Sam levit showed tonight that's the part that really kind of jumps out at you in in terms of I mean a lot of things but especially just how he stayed so composed even as I said he got hit several times yeah and the discipline not thrown to a question mark the one thing that I thought we'd see tonight was more success down the field with some of the deep balls he missed a couple of them tonight and that would be the only negative grade on Sam tonight was he missed a couple of of makeable deep balls I but I guess I look at it and we're back on sundevil soundof Jeff mun Kevin Turner and Sean kesman ASU beats Wyoming 48 to7 I the way to me just like I said the mere fact that they threw the ball downfield misfiring overthrowing that'll get fixed I'm just glad they're doing it 100% I I would say there's two things that you can you can get into that with that KT is one uh last year there really wasn't the ability to go deep in a lot of ways sometimes s you struggled to get separation on the outside even when you had you know single high and man coverage and you couldn't get separation at the wide out position and then if we're being we're being fair at at times it looked like it was a struggle to throw the ball deep to the field side with the quarterback situation they had last year so you have the ability to stretch the field this season and Kenny told us in in uh in Sparky's Den and then in a few other interviews throughout the week they want to stretch the field so I think you're going to see a lot of that this year yeah and and I guess the only thing uh as I say the the only area of concern and it's not really about levit but there was a a decent amount of pressure on him on several occasions he got out of it he escaped it uh that goes back to the offensive line I you know KT as you pointed out the offensive line did a really good job creating opportunities for the running game uh and they're going to be nights when teams are blitzing they're sending more than four guys they're going to get get in there on the quarterback so I'm not necessarily saying oh gee the offensive line has a problem to fix but yeah you don't want to see Sam levit too often with a lot of guys in the other team's uniforms surrounding him as he's trying to throw the football yeah I I agree with that and I think you can make adjustments with your your personnel packaging and have additional pass protection rather than going empty or single back you can go double back or you can motion into a pass protection so I don't think they were too concerned about the Wyoming pass rush as much as they were about their ability to to manage in coverage because that's where they had the experience Wyoming had some pretty good defensive backs that were decent coverage and decent tacklers but I think we just overwhelmed them you know from a physical standpoint we were bigger stronger faster and the better team took control of the game early on and and and Tim got to say it real early on fiia picked off the pass it was a nice pick six clean jumped the route um I think the quarterback was seeing some ghost there because I saw a receiver wide open the next thing I saw from the field level was just maroon flash into the end zone and how exciting was that to start the 2024 season here at Mountain America tell well I could have been a better start hey you couldn't ask for a better start fuel up on

there though we got some callers waiting sound off let's get that's right so let's sound off or let Coach Wilson in Miami sound off at 602 23620 hi coach why are you guys uh and let see thought there for a second you're rattled well I it sound like one of my relatives Thanksgiving dinner yeah um no I let's talk about the defense for a minute we talk about um the offense you talked about the fact that they wanted to create more turn turnovers I okay I they did I mean three turnovers and a couple of them were just gut punch turnovers uh turned into touchdowns which really hurts and I just I couldn't have been more impressed because again you're talking about a team number one they're very effective at running the football football that's what they wanted to do and once ASU got out to the kind of lead they had they had to kind of abandon that whole idea and stick to the air and ASU as we said they didn't give up a touchdown till two seconds to go right and then equally as impressive was the pressure on the quarterback and then the five tackles for loss behind the line of scrimmage in the running game three sacks so complete team defense tonight excellence and execution from the back end to the front end to the edge rushers the middle linebackers I mean you couldn't have have drawn up and and asked for a better outcome than what that defense did tonight any concerns for you guys about the place kicking situation because I know it was kind of tenuous going into the season how they were going to handle things uh I you want you want to get more of a sample size I mean you got you saw what two what were you two out of three with your primary kicker tonight you gave you gave the the younger The Freshman a shot to to kick one as well and it wasn't even close it was wide left in the fourth quarter but I mean yeah you'd be lying if you said that wasn't something that you you're not 100% comfortable with at this point right and you get into a close ball game in late in the second half and you want to be able to rely on your place kicker but yeah I mean as of right now I it's not necessarily something I'd call a strength uh it's still kind of up in the air and we don't really have a judgment on the punting game either because it just wasn't it didn't wasn't a fact you had to punt twice you know and only one of them was in your your end of the field where you really had to get a hold of it so yeah you you didn't see a lot of that either but uh I'd call that a good problem I was really I was really impressed with melan stovall's ability to field some really nasty punts tonight and had had a couple of really nice returns do something with him I have a lot of confidence with him back there uh returning kicks and and that's uh that's not an easy thing to do on a windy night toh catch a punt that doesn't turn over a couple of those were tail draggers and those really move away from you so you've got to adjust very quickly and get underneath it otherwise you know it hits your face mask and there's a loose ball in the turf and bad things can happen after that yeah but they didn't not too many bad things happen tonight as ASU wins at 48 to7 heila River

you're on sundevil sound off hello Mike I think our callers are experiencing money so give him one second then he'll hear it all right Mike you there yes there's Mike Mike what you got go ahead what I have is I want to recognize our new athletic director in Graham rosini I thought that I really thought tonight's game day experience was just uhoh did he drop on us I can complete I I can complete that thought we and we had Graham on the tailgate show and I this is something that teams at the pro level have picked up on uh over the years and he's brought it here to ASU and that is the concept and the phrase goes uh driveway to driveway and uh we have John back I'll get to John and just a second the uh we talked about it the concept of driver way to driveway that when you come to a game the event starts as soon as you get in a car when you come into the stadium even if it's an hour before kickoff a show should be going on and it is then you talk about what he's done in terms of cutting the parking prices half price water tonight uh this is all designed to make this you want fans to come to a stadium did you mention the 10 new food items that you and Kevin both ate all 10 of in the pregame show did you mention that part I mean it was a culinary tonight generally I didn't get any all the way up here I'm just just saying there's a reason some awesome new food the stuff that we got MH which was Forks up or Fork of nachos yeah prime rib yeah and the foot long hot dog I know there was it a gour they're all available in the sand tank Club oh okay so you have to go to the sand tank Club to get to make that happen yeah I'm not talking about fans they know that I'm talking about there was pork belly and and and fresh uh you know hot relish on that on that just make feel worse and the and the bread was I mean just felt like it just came out of the oven there there's definitely an emphasis on all aspects of the game day experience though to to complete that thought money all all aspects of the game day experience uh is is is being is an open book right now and you guys heard Graham tell you on the other side of the in the the Santan Ford Club in the pregame show they wanted to be an open dialogue with fans if there's ideas you have Grandma Grandma to hear them you know it's an open dialogue for your experience here at Mountain America Credit Union and all the all of sunev athlet what I noticed last year when I walked into this Stadium there was a layer of dust there was dirt and and stuff on the you know watermarks on on the windows in the Santan Ford Club there wasn't a speck of dust this thing was so spit shine clean when I walked into this ballpark at this Stadium today I just I was shocked mention when you came in today sh the seats were clean the aisles were clean the grass was green it you take pride in the little things and that's a big thing with him it's all about said that little things add up to big things the devil is in the details I want try to see if these phones are working now yeah let's try let's try John from Tempe again hi John you're on sevil sound off hello John there there's a heck of a delay on the phones right now that's that's what's going on give John a second John give you give you a three count here there you are John there you are yep I'm here go ahead hello hello yeah there we're g we're gonna go we're gonna go and pun and we apologize there's something going on back at the studio with the phones quite the delay um right now with the phones and us here in stadium John and Mike are apologies we did get part of Mike's comment about The Fan Experience and uh you're right and I tell you the other thing just a a closing thought on that subject athletic directors don't normally you don't really associate them with being heavily involved in The Fan Experience but keep one thing in mind uh Graham spent I believe it was about 10 11 years working as a vice president over the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Diamondbacks obviously have really emphas ized The Fan Experience everything from the value menu to all the other things that they do and it's very obvious that Graham has brought a lot of the lessons he learned there here uh to ASU Athletics I'm I'm very anxious to see what he brings to uh basketball games at Desert Financial he and I have talked uh off off the air a number of times about some of the things that he wanted to do at baseball a couple of years ago and I I think now that he's uh in charge of the athletic department I'll be very curious to see uh what what things he offers fans at all of the venues not just Mountain America Stadium but soccer stadium mullet Arena all the places where fans gather and uh it's it's really refreshing to see a an athletic director who obviously has an awful lot on his PL just running programs be concerned with the fan experience as well yeah there's two types of managers in in Corporate America th those that are focused 100% on profit where they they raise prices and and they try to cut corners and there's the other side the supply side where they they reduce prices and increase Opex think of a place like Disneyland they they don't have the operating margins I'm sure that the neighbor has at not Berry Farm because they spend a lot more money on keeping the park clean all about the details all about making it a great Fan Experience lower pricing all sorts of of special packages where Cedar Fair may be on the other side of the Ledger they may be looking at hey let's just look at profit so what are we going to do we're going to cut Corners we're not going to spend as much on Opex and taking care of deferred maintenance and we're going to raise prices so they're more Topline where I think Graham looks at the fan and says what's in what's the best for the fan and then the top side the supply side when you get more butts in the seats that that takes that works out that equilibrium where where price and demand intersect and you've got a nice Fan Experience and everybody wins yeah and Disneyland has been the template for a lot of pro teams in sports as to here's how we treat fans look at the way Disneyland does it and you bring that up as an example and I can tell you there I worked for teams in the past that that's something they looked at they trained their employees here's the way you need to do this the way Disneyland does it um let's get into our Turning Point Drive of the game and I'm and I'm giggling a little bit because you barely had enough time to get in your seat before the turning point of the game occurred very early in the first quarter well yeah it was the it was the pick six right away in the second play the pick six on the second play is what is where the turning point was because it set the tone it set the tone right away way after the game right as the game started set the tone sundevils were going to be a physical team on defense they were flying around the football you get the pick six and next thing you know if you're Wyoming you know they were backed up against the student section which was absolutely phenomenal to start the game tonight the student section was absolutely phenomenal that was what I was going to and so you had you had this almost this this quicksand effect that hit Wyoming from the get-go and it all started with the Pix six I I do want to take a moment to talk about the crowd and particularly the student section when we get done with the the pregame show they we're literally right up at kickoff so a lot of times I'll take the Concourse around to the South side which is where the student section is and you know most nights you're working your way through a lot of just bodies getting to the other side of the stadium get up the elevator come up the Press Box when I came out tonight for one thing uh one of the uh one of the ticket takers at the sandang club said you probably shouldn't go that way it's not a good idea it was absolute gridlock and I'm not saying that as a negative it was a positive to have that many students out so for the first time since I took this job I had to go the other way so I'm underneath the stands on the the overhang on the North End Zone when the pick six occurs and immediately my mind starts racing okay when was the last time we scored a minute into the season opener and probably the answer is never uh and that's why I say it just really felt like you know this is a wide receiver when a guy in in game one a minute in can jump a route and get an interception and take it back for a touchdown that that says to me as an amateur he did his homework watched the film and he anticipated and that's on opening day that's not that easy to do 100% And you know whether he baited him or whether he you know did exactly what he was told to do and he was in the right place the right time it was an athletic play and really ignited this stadium and it it just what a wonderful way to start the 2024 season yeah with something so electrifying and putting your opponent right on the on the precipice of of their heels right out of the get-go and I I was I mean I had goosebumps and the hair came up on my arms I wow what a way to start the season 13,690 students second second all time that's right the second largest I think that's what made it cuz it went right into and that's what I'm saying right into the M that was the turning point of the game I know it's crazy to say that there was like 14 minutes and 20 seconds left in the first quarter but that absolutely set the tone for the game and then you had another interception and another score and all of a sudden you're up two scores a few minutes into this football game and that that student section was going crazy it was quicksand yeah you know it was it it was quicksand for Wyoming it was you you can even go back to the first play I can't remember the linebacker that shot the Gap KT and just put a lick on the running back and then you pick him off for the pick six on the second play and the tone was set and so it's crazy to do the Toyota Turning Point Drive of the game on the second play of the game right but it really was the tone Setter for this entire football game and rapper said it four or five times throughout the night that's the most physical he has seen at sundevils defense in a long time primarily in the secondary and it started from the first play so I don't think it's crazy to say to say the first drive of the game was the turning point cuz it really was and that was my comment to Kenny at halftime I just said what what pops off the page to me is the physicality yeah and it it was it was electrifying that one play by itself Turning Point Drive of the game presented by your Valley Toyota dealers Let's Go Places I'll say one other thing uh and Sean and I have been through this a lot you've been through it a couple of times in in the time years you've been with us ASU traditionally the last several years has opened uh they always open at home but they decided to start playing it on the Thursday going into Labor Day weekend and the thinking was nobody's in town over Labor Day weekend everybody goes up north to get out of the heat so we don't want to try to do it on labor on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend well obviously they did that tonight and I was so impressed with just the amount of people that were here also when you take into consideration that down the street they drew 50,000 at Chase Field tonight so we got a close to a Full House here there was some decent competition about five miles from here and it's Saturday a Labor Day weekend so a shout out to the fans for showing up yeah there's nothing wrong with having two or three great restaurants you know walking distance from one another yeah I think you know all all you know High Tides raise you know the the ship's attitude and you know with the what's going on in major league baseball right now and and what's Happening Here on campus and with graham Rini coming in there's just there's there
