Arizona State running back Raleek Brown ran for 255 yards, the third-most in Arizona State history, and had a pair of touchdowns to help Sun Devils take out Colorado, 42-17. The Sun Devils finished with 580 total yards, including 355 yards rushing. A 13-7 game at halftime, ASU outscored Colorado 29-10 in the second half.
Freshman CU quarterback Julian Lewis finished 19-of-38 for 161 yards and a touchdown pass in his first home start, but the Buffs finished with only 300 yards of total offense.

“I can’t be happy with being close, because I expect to win. There’s no consolation prize in football, man. You can’t be happy with just because you’re in the game; you’re supposed to be winning the game. I’m not built like that. I want to win. I don’t want to be close.”
The game left Arizona with an 8-3 record, still mathematically alive for a chance at berth in the Big 12 title game, and a chance to repeat as conference champions. Colorado, meanwhile, fell to 3-8 in Coach Prime’s third season, finishing with a 3-4 home record.
