Arizona State emerged victorious in the Conference championship game, defeating Iowa State 45-19 to secure their spot in the College Football Playoff. Led by head coach Kenny Dillingham, the Sun Devils dominated the game with a stellar performance from running back Cam Skattebo, who ran for 170 yards and scored two touchdowns, in addition to catching a touchdown pass.
Despite Iowa State’s historic 10-win season, they could not keep up with Arizona State’s offensive prowess. Freshman quarterback Sam Leavitt capitalized on turnovers by the Cyclones to throw touchdown passes and extend their lead. Skattebo’s impressive performance included long, tackle-evading runs that showcased his versatility and skill.
Arizona State’s big plays, including multiple touchdowns and long receptions, kept them ahead throughout the game. Even without their leading receiver Jordyn Tyson, the Sun Devils managed to make plays and secure the win. Iowa State’s Rocco Becht also had a solid game, throwing for 214 yards and two touchdowns, but it was not enough to overcome Arizona State’s dominance.
With this victory, Arizona State secured their spot in the College Football Playoff and showcased their strong offensive capabilities. Cam Skattebo’s standout performance earned him the title of Most Outstanding Player in the game. The Sun Devils will now look ahead to the playoff with confidence as they aim to continue their winning streak and compete for the championship title.
