No. 21 Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt Expected to Miss Game Against Utah with Undisclosed Injury
Backup Jeff Sims is expected to start if Leavitt cannot play after his injury downgrade ahead of the Salt Lake City game, with ASU at 4-1 this season.
- On Oct. 11, Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is listed as doubtful for the matchup against University of Utah at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.
- After being listed probable on Wednesday, Leavitt was downgraded to doubtful on Thursday's Big 12 availability report as coaches said an unspecified injury worsened.
- Leavitt's season numbers show he has completed 63.1% of his passes for 1,039 yards and eight touchdowns while leading Arizona State Sun Devils to a Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff last year.
- With Leavitt's availability uncertain, coaches turned to Jeff Sims, veteran backup quarterback, as betting lines shifted from a 5.5-point to 7-point underdog with a 25% chance Leavitt plays.
- Coach Kenny Dillingham cautioned that 'If he plays in the game, it will be a mini miracle', and an athletic department representative confirmed Leavitt will not play Oct. 11 in Salt Lake City.
