Arizona State is leading Iowa State by a slim lead of 17-16 at halftime in a close and evenly balanced game. The second quarter saw both teams pick up steam following a slow and wary first quarter, with the second half to follow.
The Rhythm of the Arizona State Offense
Arizona State quarterback Jeff Sims has performed calmly and effectively, passing 11 out of 18 attempts with 175 yards and a single score. His relationship with tight end Chamon Metayer has especially taken a toll, as Metayer has accumulated five receptions totalling 65 yards with one important touchdown that gave ASU momentum in the second quarter.
