### Arizona State Makes a Statement with Upset Victory Over No. 14 BYU

In a thrilling game that saw Arizona State University (ASU) emerge victorious over the highly ranked BYU, head coach Kenny Dillingham solidified his legacy with one of the most memorable wins in the school's history. The Sun Devils overcame the odds to upset the No. 14 Cougars, moving a step closer to securing a spot in the Big 12 championship game.

Kenny Dillingham, a Phoenix native and ASU alum, has witnessed numerous highs and lows throughout his years connected to the program. His experience culminated in a spectacular victory on Saturday at Mountain America Stadium, where the Sun Devils showcased their tenacity and skill. ASU stormed the field not once, but twice this season, a testament to the team's resilience and thrilling gameplay.

"We won the football game by beating another ranked team in Mountain America Stadium," Dillingham said, beaming with pride. "This is all about the guys. They battled, they fought, and they found a way to win. It's not every day you get to rush the field twice in a season. Come to Arizona State because there's going to be a lot more of that coming forward."

The Sun Devils surged ahead with a 21-3 lead by halftime, but BYU mounted a comeback that nearly turned the tide. It wasn't until Jake Retzlaff threw an interception in the final minute that ASU could breathe a sigh of relief, cementing their narrow victory.

Despite the dramatic narrowing of their lead, Dillingham remained unfazed. He embraced the excitement that close games bring, embodying the spirit of his confident team. "I told the players, 'We're going to make one play. If we make one play, we win,'" recalled Dillingham. "And we got that play. The confidence these guys have is remarkable. We'd rather be on our sideline any day because we win close games and we like drama – it's perfect for us."

The iconic double field-storming underscores a landmark victory for Arizona State, revealing the relentless energy and optimism under Dillingham’s guidance. The win not only bolsters the Sun Devils' championship ambitions but also rekindles excitement among fans and alumni, proving that ASU football is a force to be reckoned with in the Big 12.
