Arizona State Hands No. 7 Texas Tech Its First Loss with Late Drive in 26-22 Win

Arizona State overcame a late 12-point deficit and capitalized on Texas Tech's errors to secure a 26-22 victory, improving to 5-2 this season.

  • On Saturday, Arizona State rallied to beat Texas Tech Red Raiders 26-22 in Tempe, Arizona with a late touchdown by Raleek Brown.
  • Texas Tech blew a 12-point fourth-quarter lead and committed turnovers, while missing starting quarterback Behren Morton and defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard.
  • Officiating calls shaped the finish as Sam Leavitt completed 5 of 7 passes aided by a pass interference call on Brice Pollack, and Will Hammond ran in a 2-point conversion after a holding call forced a retry.
  • The result was Texas Tech's first loss, leaving the Red Raiders 6-1 and 3-1 in Big 12 play and prompting poll questions, while Arizona State's comeback boosts the reigning Big 12 champion's position.
  • Both teams face conference tests next Saturday as Arizona State hosts Houston and Texas Tech visits Oklahoma State, with the upset joining other top-10 losses that may shift Week 8 rankings in the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25.
