Arizona State enters the second half of its 2026 campaign at 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12 after a 53-25 road loss to No. 10 Texas Tech, where starting quarterback Cutter Boley was benched at halftime in favor of Mikey Keene. The Sun Devils have shown flashes on defense and in the run game but have been inconsistent on offense and in conference play following an 8-5 finish in 2025 and a conference title in 2024. With six games remaining against Kansas State, BYU, Colorado, UCF, Oklahoma State, and rival Arizona, the team faces a demanding stretch that will largely determine its final win total. Coach Kenny Dillingham’s squad is navigating significant roster turnover and a new-look passing attack in a competitive Big 12 environment.
