TEMPE – Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson caught a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to overcome first-half miscues in a 35-31 victory over Kansas on Saturday at Mountain America Stadium.

All even at 14s to start the second half, the final quarter saw five lead changes as Tyson capitalized on the Sun Devil’s final two scores with 32-yard and 3-yard touchdown grabs.

With 2:04 to go, ASU leaned heavily on its ground attack, running seven straight runs to set up quarterback Sam Leavitt’s only pass to Tyson.

Tyson’s game didn’t start off so successfully. He fumbled in Kansas territory in the second quarter and later saw a tipped pass land by the Jayhawks for an interception before later finding redemption.

ASU running back Cam Skattebo was also crucial, finishing off several big runs to keep the Sun Devil hopes alive. He didn’t quite match the 262-yard performance in a 30-23 win over Mississippi State, but the senior rushed for 186 ground yards on 25 carries. A gain of 39 yards in the fourth quarter tied a season high (also against Mississippi State) and Skattebo had six rushes for more than 10 yards for a productive day.

Redshirt freshman Leavitt threw for a career-high four touchdowns on 14 of 24 passing while accounting for 157 yards. He also had success with his legs, with Leavitt covering a career-high 77 yards on 10 carries, including 18 yards on the game-winning drive.

The Sun Devils strolled down the field for a 7-play, 75-yard opening score when Leavitt connected with wide receiver Xavier Guillory from 28 yards out. ASU has now scored a touchdown on the opening drive in four of its first five games.

Putting this game into the mix, Kansas has had a fourth-quarter lead in five of the six games. The Jayhawks had won eight in a row when they committed no turnovers before Saturday.

A starting temperature of 107 degrees in Tempe was the hottest since 2000. ASU played in record heat for the first time in October, as every other occasion occurred in late August or early September.

Arizona State (4-1, 1-1) will now shift its focus to the Utes (4-1, 1-1), as they host their third Big 12 opponent of the season on Friday with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
