Darby wants to celebrate the good things in life.
Like touchdowns.
Up 6-0 in a game that was off the rails on the first play from scrimmage, ASU had a chance to extend the lead deep in Florida State’s territory.

Looking for pay dirt, true freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels dropped back with his sights set on a cutting Darby. Tracking the ball to the corner of the end zone, Darby was able to make a good play on the ball, making the catch and keeping his foot inbounds.
The catch was great, but getting a ref in on the celebration is another level.
Might as well give the ref a high five after a touchdown #sunbowl pic.twitter.com/tFe4QtpqDk

The only issue?
The completion wasn’t a completion, as officials ruled that the Darby did not fully have possession of the football before stepping out.
But upon further review from social media, the celebration stands.
Frank Darby high-fived the official after that catch. Love that guy.

Arizona State wideout Frank Darby just high-fived the ref after catching a TD pass (which ended up being overturned). By far the best thing about the #SunBowl so far
