Sam Leavitt's injury update has Arizona State fans on edge. According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Leavitt's status has been downgraded to doubtful for the upcoming game against Utah. If Leavitt can't play, veteran quarterback Jeff Sims will step up. Sims, a sixth-year senior, has experience at Georgia Tech and Nebraska. He's been with Arizona State for the past two seasons, but hasn't seen much action this year, only playing mop-up duty.
Leavitt's recent performance, however, has been impressive. Head coach Kenny Dillingham praised his progress, especially in the mental aspect of the game. Leavitt has been working on becoming a more well-rounded quarterback. With a 2-0 record in the Big 12, Arizona State is in a strong position, and a win against Utah could give them a significant advantage.
Despite the potential for a controversial start, Sims is ready to take on the challenge. The team's success in the conference is a priority, and a win against Utah would be a significant step forward. As fans eagerly await Leavitt's return, Sims is prepared to step up and lead the team. The question remains: can Sims fill the void and keep the Sun Devils' winning streak alive?
