On the latest edition of the State of the Sun Devils podcast, Jeremy Schnell, Jesse Morrison and Damon Allred discussed Arizona State football’s first loss of the season in its first Big 12 contest.

The Sun Devils fell 30-22 to the Texas Tech Red Raiders at Jones AT&T Stadium to fall to 3-1 overall (0-1 in Big 12).

ASU had eight penalties for 69 yards and sent two kickoffs out of bounds, giving Texas Tech solid field position.  Quarterback Sam Leavitt threw his second interception of the season right after Texas Tech scored a touchdown on the opening drive of the game.

Arizona State gambled a few times in the matchup, going for it on fourth down four times. The Sun Devils were 0-for-3, with another attempt not counting due to a pass interference call against Texas Tech.

The Sun Devils’ pass catchers did not have their best outing with multiple catchable passes not being caught.

ASU has a bye week next week before hosting Kansas on Oct. 5.
