Boley's 6 TDs Ignite Sun Devils' 70-7 Rout
7 Sep
Summary
- Cutter Boley threw six touchdowns in his debut.
- Arizona State amassed 688 total yards in the dominant win.
- The fourth quarter was shortened by mutual agreement.
Cutter Boley, a transfer quarterback from Kentucky, threw six touchdown passes in his Arizona State debut, powering the Sun Devils to a dominant 70-7 victory over Morgan State in their season opener on Saturday night. Boley tossed two touchdowns each to Reed Harris and Grayson Rigdon, with Omarion Miller and AJ Ia also receiving scoring passes.
Arizona State amassed an impressive 688 total yards, nearly reaching their record for points in a game. The Sun Devils also scored 70 points against rival Arizona in 2020. Head coach Kenny Dillingham praised his team's offseason work, acknowledging the significant challenge ahead in their upcoming schedule.
The game's fourth quarter was shortened to 10 minutes by mutual agreement of the coaches. This decision was made after Morgan State's coach requested the change, a move that surprised Arizona State's head coach. The Sun Devils had already built a substantial 49-7 lead by halftime, following an onside kick recovery and quick scores.
Boley, a junior, completed 21 of 27 passes for 387 yards before leaving the game early in the third quarter. Morgan State managed only one touchdown on a 2-yard run by Jordan Barnett, being held to 188 total yards against the Sun Devils' defense. The FCS Bears received $600,000 for traveling to Tempe.
