Arizona State traveled to Colorado for a Pac-12 showdown with the No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes.
In the first half, it was a battle between playmakers Eno Benjamin and Colorado’s Laviska Shenault as they accounted for all scoring. The game opened up with both teams trading one-yard touchdown runs. On ASU’s opening drive, they converted a one-yard touchdown run by Benjamin, marking the first time Colorado allowed a touchdown on their opponents opening drive.
Colorado responded with a one-yard touchdown run of their own with 2:52 left in the first quarter, this one from sophomore wide receiver Shenault. It was his third rushing touchdown of the year.
The first quarter closed with those being the only touchdowns in a 7-7 tie. Sophomore kicker Brandon Ruiz missed a 53-yard field goal attempt early in the second quarter. Colorado sophomore kicker James Stefanou returned the favor with a missed field goal of his own, leaving the score tied.
Shortly after, sophomore inside linebacker Nate Landman was called for targeting and ejected from the contest. That same drive, Benjamin added another one-yard touchdown run for his second rushing touchdown of the game. Colorado answered yet again, with another Shenault Touchdown run to make it a 14-all affair.
Both teams walked into the locker with 14 points apiece and a dominant playmaker on their respective offensive side of the ball.
