Arizona State fans, hold your breath! The team's star quarterback, Sam Leavitt, is likely to return to the field this weekend, according to a report by CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. But will he be able to lead the team to victory after their recent struggles?
Leavitt, who missed the recent game against Utah due to a right foot injury, is a pivotal player for the Sun Devils. His absence was sorely felt as they suffered a devastating 42-10 loss. The team's head coach, Kenny Dillingham, had previously expressed doubts about Leavitt's recovery, stating that it would be a 'mini miracle' if he played. But here's where it gets interesting: despite the odds, Leavitt is expected to suit up against the formidable No. 7 Texas Tech.
The sophomore QB has been a standout performer this season, racking up 1,039 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and only three interceptions in just five games. His leadership was evident in Arizona State's historic run last season, where they reached the College Football Playoff for the first time. However, they fell short against Texas in the Quarterfinals, with Leavitt throwing for 222 yards and an interception.
Now, with Leavitt's potential return, a thrilling quarterback duel is on the cards. Texas Tech's Behren Morton is also a talented playmaker, but his availability is uncertain due to a recent injury. And this is the part most fans are eager to see: will these two powerhouse QBs face off in a battle of skill and strategy?
The game, set for 4:00 PM ET on Saturday in Tempe, will be a historic encounter. It's the sixth meeting between these teams, with Texas Tech winning the previous matchup 30-22. Can Arizona State avenge their loss and prove their worth, or will Texas Tech reaffirm their dominance? Tune in to FOX to witness this exciting clash and be part of the conversation!
