for game planning ASU?

Quick analysis, ASU is a run heavy team averaging just 220 passing per game. They rely on Cam Scattebo who average over 20 carries per game and 6yds per carry. He also average 3 receptions per game. He is 37% of their offense.

Sam Leavitt is an improving RS freshman QB who transferred from Michigan State. He avg 220 yds per game with his high being 291 vs Arizona, who has the 109th best passing defense. The best past defenses Sam has faced are BYU (20th) and Utah (40th). However he will also be without his 1000+ yard receiver Jordyn Tyson who is reported to be out for the season. Tyson had 42% of ASU's pass yards this season so will be sorely missed.

Leavitt does not turn the ball over with only 5 interceptions and has only been sacked 16 times. He will tuck the ball and run a little with 383 yards on 97 carries.

On defense, ASU is 31st in the country giving up 21 pts per game, 70th in the country in passing g defense giving up 219, and 27th in rushing giving up 117 yds/game, and 30th in the country in takeaways.

Note, all of these stats are based off a B12 schedule and best team they played was BYU, who they beat by 5 at home.

With Tyson out, Texas has to corral Scattebo and and make them one dimensional. Ewers should be able to get off to a fast start and then eat the clock with the run. Stay away from turnovers and the Horns should win by 17+.
