Sam Leavitt passed for a career-high 319 yards and a touchdown, running back Raleek Brown scored on a 1-yard run with 34 seconds left and Arizona State blew a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter before recovering for a 26-22 upset over No. 7 Texas Tech in a Big 12 game Saturday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz.
The Sun Devils went 75 yards in 1:26 for the winning score after Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond led the Red Raiders to a pair of touchdowns in the final 3:45 for a 22-19 lead.
Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson had 10 receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown as the defending Big 12 champion Sun Devils (5-2, 3-1 in Big 12) posted their first victory over an AP top-10 team since beating No. 6 Oregon 31-28 in 2019.
A pass interference penalty gave Arizona State the ball at the Texas Tech 2 with 40 seconds remaining, and Brown scored two plays later.
The Red Raiders (6-1, 3-1) played without starting quarterback Behren Morton, who aggravated a lower leg injury in a 42-17 victory over Kansas last week. They had never trailed in a game this season and had outscored their first six opponents by an average of 35.3 points a game.
Hammond completed 22 for 37 passes for 167 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in his second career start.
Hammond scored on a 1-yard run with 3:45 remaining to cut the Red Raiders' deficit to 19-14. Less than two minutes later, he followed his 12-yard scoring pass to Reggie Virgil with a two-point conversion run with 2:00 remaining.
Texas Tech reached the Arizona State 28-yard line with three seconds remaining, but Hammond's pass to the deep left corner of the end zone was tipped and fell incomplete.
Texas Tech became the fifth undefeated FBS team to lose this weekend, joining Miami, Mississippi, UNLV and Memphis.
Jesus Gomez made all four field goal attempts for the Sun Devils. His 28-yarder to cap a 16-play, 69-yard drive made it 19-7 in the first minute of the fourth quarter.
His 34-yarder with 1:43 remaining in the first quarter gave the Sun Devils a 3-0 lead and his 47-yarder one minute into the second quarter made it 6-0.
Hammond completed a 30-yard touchdown pass to Coy Eakin with 5:57 remaining in the first half for a 7-6 lead after Texas Tech was set up when Leavitt's long pass to Tyson on fourth-and-1 fell incomplete.
Gomez's 26-yard field goal made it 9-7 at halftime.
Leavitt hit Tyson on a 2-yard score for a 16-7 lead, three plays after David Bailey was called for roughing the passer, negating a fourth-down incompletion that would have turned the ball over on downs.
