Texas touchdown: After Arizona State goes three-and-out, Silas Bolden returns a punt 75 yards for a touchdown to give Texas led 14-3. Less than 8 minutes into this game, the Sun Devils are officially in trouble.

Texas touchdown: The Longhorns needed just two plays to score on their opening drive: a 54-yard pass to Matthew Golden and a 23-yard touchdown pass from Quinn Ewers to DeAndre Moore Jr. About as bad a start as you can imagine for ASU’s defense. Texas 7, ASU 3, 8:14 left in 1st quarter.

Arizona State field goal! Carston Kieffer kicks off a 39-yard field goal to give Arizona State took an early 3-0 lead. The Sun Devils’ first drive covered 63 yards in 12 plays. They were aided by two major penalties on Texas – a run into the punter on fourth down and a 15-yard face mask.

Huge penalty on Texas! The Sun Devils fail to convert on 3rd and 4, but Texas runs into the punter, giving Arizona State another set of downs.
