ASU beat Mississippi State last season in Tempe 30-23. But this game won't be in Arizona. Still, the Bulldogs went just 2-10 last season. Arizona State will find a way to win in SEC country.
Sept. 13: Texas State at Arizona State
ASU football escaped with a 31-28 win over Texas State in Texas last season. This game won't be so close. Home-field advantage will be a huge benefit for the Sun Devils in 2025.

The Bears won their last six regular-season games last season and could be a Big 12 title contender. They also will host Arizona State in this game, handing the Sun Devils their first loss of the season.

Could Sam Leavitt be a legitimate Heisman contender in 2025? He'll put ASU on his back in this game, helping the Sun Devils win their first Big 12 game of the season.

It's never easy to win in Salt Lake City and the
Utes should be much improved this season. But, ASU will not want to fall to 0-2 in Big 12 road games.

You can bet that Rich Rodriguez and the Mountaineers will be up for this game, which could end up being a key matchup in the Big 12. ASU will be ready, however, coming off a loss and an extra week to prepare.
