Kansas State and Arizona State collide at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 2:45 p.m. CT, in a critical Big 12 contest where both squads aim to halt their recent slide. The matchup features two teams seeking to avoid their third conference loss, with Arizona State (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) entering the game after a 53-25 blowout defeat at Texas Tech. The Sun Devils, who switched quarterbacks at halftime against Tech, have shown inconsistency this season, securing their only Power 4 victory with a 24-17 win over Kansas in London on Sept. 19.
QB uncertainty looms as Wildcats and Sun Devils battle to avoid third Big 12 defeat
Kansas State (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) arrives with momentum from a 35-24 victory over Kansas, but questions persist regarding quarterback Avery Johnson’s availability. Johnson appeared on the team’s availability report after sitting out one play early in the first quarter against Kansas, though he returned to the field and played the remainder of the contest without issue. The Wildcats’ ability to maintain offensive rhythm will be tested against an Arizona State defense that has struggled to contain explosive plays in recent weeks.
Fans can follow real-time scoring plays, turning points, and expert analysis throughout the game to track key developments and injury updates. This contest serves as a pivotal moment for both programs as they look to stabilize their standings in the Big 12. With both teams facing quarterback uncertainty and defensive vulnerabilities, expect a high-paced affair where special teams and third-down efficiency could determine the final result.
