NDL: S30W8 - Cincinnati (41) at Arizona State (14)
ASU Crushed By Bearcats
Article By: In a performance that left Arizona State fans reeling and questioning the future of the program, the Sun Devils were handed a brutal 41-14 defeat by the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday afternoon at Sun Devil Stadium. The loss dropped ASU to a dismal 1-5 record on the season, marking another setback for a team already struggling to find its footing under first-year head coach priest19.
Saturday's game was a perfect storm of mistakes, poor execution, and unrelenting pressure, as both the offense and defense failed to show up in any meaningful way. Quarterbacks Sam Leavitt and Jeff Sims combined for an abysmal five interceptions, while the defense could neither stop Cincinnati’s passing game nor its rushing attack, leading to a lopsided affair that was over before the fourth quarter even began.
Arizona State’s offensive struggles began and ended with its quarterbacks. Leavitt, who had started the previous two games, and Sims, who had been inserted into the lineup in the second half, could not avoid costly mistakes throughout the game. The duo threw five interceptions combined—four by Leavitt and one by Sims—putting their team in an insurmountable hole.
The only bright spot in the game was an interception that was returned for a touchdown. The other score for ASU was a fluke fumble by the running back that was picked up by Jeff Sims and returned for a touchdown.
The Sun Devils will look to regroup as the go into the final part of their schedule.
