ASU head coach on his team’s resilience against Mississippi State
ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham talks about his team’s win against Mississippi State: “Our team needed that, we needed a punch in the face.”
On fourth down, with his team leading 31-28 on Thursday night, Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt took the snap, ran back six yards and dropped to his knees, giving ASU the win over Texas State.
At least that’s what we thought.
After a lengthy review, the referees called the teams back onto the field and gave Texas State one final play with 1 second remaining from their own 30-yard line. ASU recovered a fumble on that play, preventing a Bobcats miracle, but social media was dumbfounded by the decision to give Texas State one more play.
ESPN’s broadcast of the game had even already ended. The final play was not broadcast because the program had already switched to SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt.
