Arizona State defeated Central Florida 26-13 in a challenging Big 12 matchup on November 14th. The Sun Devils navigated considerable travel hurdles, including an FAA ground stop that delayed their cross-country flight from Arizona to Orlando until the same day as the game. The contest's start time was pushed back to accommodate the team's arrival.
Despite the adversity, Head Coach Kenny Dillingham commended his team's focus and accountability. He noted that 105 players were ready for their 5:54 a.m. flight with zero complaints. Quarterback Jake Fette contributed 196 passing yards, while Cardae Mack led the rushing attack with 111 yards and a touchdown. The defense limited UCF to 311 total yards.
This significant win improved Arizona State's record to 6-4 overall and 4-3 in Big 12 conference games. Their next scheduled game is at home against Oklahoma State on November 21st.
