Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly broke a bone in his right foot Saturday night and is expected to miss at least a month, multiple sources have told Arizona Sports’ Paul Calvisi.

Kelly landed awkwardly while being tackled after a rushing attempt late in the third quarter in the Sun Devils’ 38-24 win over the Colorado Buffaloes. The play ended his night and sent him to the locker room. He returned to the sidelines in a boot and on crutches.

The Sun Devils have this week off but are about to embark on a difficult four-game conference stretch where they’ll host UCLA on Thursday, Sept. 25 and then go to USC, host Stanford and go to Washington on Oct. 25.

The senior, who has started every game coach Todd Graham has coached at ASU, threw for 195 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.

With the win over the Buffaloes, the Sun Devils are 3-0 and ranked No. 15 in the AP Poll and No. 13 in the Amway Coaches’ Poll.
