Mike Stockman

Tempe, AZ (September 8, 2018) The Arizona State University Sun Devils hosted the Michigan State Spartans in Game 2 of the 2018 season.  This was the third time these teams have met with the last game played in 1986.


In the first quarter, the Devils were able to hold the Spartans to 102 yards, allowing a 37  yard field goal.

In the second quarter, the Devils intercepted the Spartans in the end zone, but were unable to capitalize on the turn over.

With less than a minute left in the half, Wilkins dropped back and tossed a high throw over the middle, which was intercepted by the Spartans - ending the drive and any hopes of the Devils tying up a Spartan 3-0 lead before half time.  

In the third quarter, the Spartans drove the length of the field and kicked a 28 yard field goal making the lead 6-0 with 9:37 left in the quarter.

After a solid drive, the Devils were held to kicking a 49 yard field goal, making the score 6-3 in favor of the Spartans.

Spartans score on a 31 yard touchdown pass with 1:27 left in the quarter.

The Devils end the quarter with a 22 yard reception at the Spartans' 7 yard line but were unable to punch it in. They settle for a 24 yard field goal, 13-6 Spartan lead.

With 8:45 left in the game, Wilkins hits Harry for a 27 yard touchdown pass, tying the game 13-13.

Back to back sacks puts Spartans in a very long 3rd down, giving the Devils the ball back with 5:36 left on the clock.

The Devils take the ball, slowly march down the field getting first down after first down until 
lining ball up at the 10 yard line for a last second, 28 yard game winning field goal.

The Spartans next game is on September 22 at Indiana.

The Devils travel to San Diego for their first away game of the season to take on San Diego State University. Kick-off is at 7:30 pm and can be viewed on CBSSN.
