All kinds of penalties shrouded the final offensive sequence for ASU, but kicker Jesus Gomez calmly drove a field goal through the uprights to give the Sun Devils its first lead of the game, 27-24.
After a career 4-for-4 game at Baylor, Gomez came back down to earth with a 1-for-3 night but made the extra point and go-ahead kick that mattered in the end.
Defensive lineman Prince Dorbah got home for the a strip-sack of Hoover with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, which set up ASU for the unlikely opportunity to win the game in regulation.
The play marked Dorbah’s third sack of the game and Keyshaun Elliot, Clayton Smith and Elijah O’Neal all accounting for one.
