Mississippi State stunned No. 12 Arizona State in a back-and-forth thriller on Saturday, rallying for a dramatic 24-20 win at Davis Wade Stadium. The Bulldogs scored the game-winning touchdown with just 30 seconds left, toppling a Sun Devils squad that had entered the matchup as a heavy favorite.
Mississippi State quarterback Blake Shapen threw for over 250 yards, orchestrating the late drive that sealed the victory, while Arizona State’s Sam Leavitt connected with Jordyn Tyson for a fourth-quarter score that briefly gave the Sun Devils a 20-17 lead. Mississippi State’s defense then locked down, forcing a pivotal turnover and setting up the final push.
