The Hornets held the lead through most of the game but ultimately fell to the Golden Bears by a score of 21-17.
Midway through the second quarter, the Hornets offense came to life. ASU quarterback Dematrius Davis connected with a wide-open Kisean Johnson mid-stride. Johnson waltzed into the endzone 63 yards, giving us the first offensive touchdown of the day from either team. On ASU’s opening first possession of the second half, they were moving the ball really well on the ground, but the drive fell short when they made it to the Miles 11-yard line. Davis went to the air looking for a receiver inside the five-yard line when Miles defender Cameron Williams jumped the pass and intercepted the ball, giving it back to the Golden Bears.
ASU took the ball back and began their march back down the field. Once again, inside the redzone, the offense was unable to find a way through the Miles defense. The Hornets settled with a field goal and pushed the lead out to 10 points.
