Jeff Sims once again demonstrated why he is such an important weapon to Arizona State, as he gave a good all-around performance as the Sun Devils defeated West Virginia 2523. Having just taken over the starting role as quarterback on the team with Sam Leavitt out, Sims had the confidence to come in and demonstrate a sense of calmness and flashiness.
Sims had 207 yards, three TD passes on 19 out of 28 pass attempts, and did not fail to give up a turnover during the night. He started the scoring with an acute 6-yard shot to Chamon Metayer and a well-aimed 19-yard goal to Derek Eusebio.
