Freshman QB Jake Fette's Swagger Leads ASU to Victory
30 Oct
Summary
- Freshman QB Jake Fette stepped in and led ASU to a comeback win.
- Fette displayed notable confidence and 'swagger' in crucial moments.
- He is now in line to start if the senior QB remains injured.
Arizona State freshman quarterback Jake Fette is poised to potentially start the upcoming game against No. 8 BYU on October 31. This comes after senior quarterback Mikey Keene sustained a knee injury during the game against Kansas State on October 24. Fette, an early enrollee, had already shown significant confidence from his initial arrival on campus.
During the Kansas State game, Fette entered in the third quarter with ASU trailing and immediately guided the team to two scoring drives, securing a 28-17 comeback victory. Coaches cited Fette's 'swagger' and energy as the spark needed to overcome a lull in the game. This performance has solidified his position as the next man up.
Fette also saw brief action in the season opener, but the Kansas State game marked his first extended playing time. His dual-threat ability, combined with impressive passes and decision-making on read-option plays, forced defenses to respect his capabilities. Coaches believe Fette, a highly-rated recruit, is a key part of ASU's future.
