Arizona State leads Iowa State 24-10 at halftime of the Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington, Texas, propelled by a dominant first-half performance from running back Cam Skattebo. Skattebo rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns, with at least 80 yards after contact. He made a highlight 47-yard run and added a 2-yard touchdown, hitting the Heisman pose after scoring. The Sun Devils took control after a gutsy play call on 4th-and-1 from their own 35-yard line, where quarterback Sam Leavitt connected with Melquan Stovall for a 63-yard gain, leading to Leavitt's 3-yard touchdown run. Iowa State initially led with a touchdown pass from Rocco Becht to Carson Hansen, but Arizona State responded and extended their lead. With this performance, Skattebo is bolstering his case for Heisman consideration, and Arizona State, picked to finish last in the conference, is now one half away from a potential College Football Playoff berth.
