The game was marked by significant quarterback changes for both teams. Arizona State utilized three different quarterbacks: Mikey Keene, who provided a strong first-half performance before leaving with a leg injury; Cutter Boley; and freshman Jake Fette, who entered in the third quarter and led two late scoring drives. Kansas State played without star quarterback Avery Johnson, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Fifth-year senior Jacob Knuth made his first career start, completing 26 of 41 passes for 194 yards and one touchdown.
