Arizona State dominates Colorado in highlight game of Thursday’s college football action

Two of those touchdown passes went to running back Gee Gee Green, who hauled in scores of 19 and 41 yards. To go along with those two catches for 60 yards, Green also added 39 yards rushing on seven carries. Navy didn’t exactly morph into West Virginia, though -- they still ran the ball 62 times for 238 yards, though that only comes out to 3.8 yards per carry.

Colorado made a comeback in the first half, scoring the final 10 points to make it a 20-17 game, but Arizona State came out strong in the second half to outscore the Buffs, 31-0.

Box Score Hero: Taylor Kelly, who completed 20-of-28 passes for 308 yards and five touchdown passes.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane extended their record to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in Conference USA with a 33-11 home win over UTEP Thursday night, dropping the Miners to 1-6 on the season and 0-3 in the conference.

After a quiet first half where the teams exchanged field goals, Tulsa blew the game open in the third quarter, starting with a 14-play, 75-yard drive capped by an Alex Singleton 1-yard touchdown plunge to go up 13-3. Later in the third, halfback Ja’Terian Douglas broke an 81-yard touchdown run to extend the Tulsa lead to 16.

WKU improves to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the Sun Belt, capturing their ninth straight conference win. The Toppers now have a bye week before welcoming conference upstart ULM. Troy sinks to 2-2 in the league.

ASU, which entered the game as a 23-point favorite over the Buffaloes, got on the scoreboard first with a 37-yard touchdown pass, but missed the extra point to take a 6-0 lead. Colorado came back and took a 7-6 lead in the second quarter when Tony Jones scored on a 2-yard touchdown run.

On the ensuing kickoff, Arizona State fumbled and the Buffaloes recovered with 17 seconds left in the first half. Quarterback Jordan Webb took two shots into the end zone, but both fell incomplete and Colorado settled for a 37-yard field goal to cut ASU’s lead to 20-17.

Corey Robinson, the Sun Belt leader in passing yards per game, was carted off the field Thursday night against Western Kentucky after taking a hard hit on a Bar’ee Boyd sack late in the second quarter. The redshirt junior, a former Sun Belt freshman of the year and New Orleans Bowl MVP, looked woozy after emerging from a crowd of teammates and being helped onto a golf cart near midfield.

Robinson holds Troy’s records for yards in a single game, passing yards in a season and more.

Can’t blame you one bit, Buffs fans:

The Arizona State Sun Devils are off to a good start in conference play and will attempt to keep rolling when they travel to Colorado to face the Buffaloes on Thursday.

Colorado, on the other hand, has struggled on both sides of the ball. The Buffaloes are 1-4 on the season and rank in the bottom 20 in both points scored and points allowed. Colorado’s offense is averaging 21.6 points through its first five games, good for 102nd in the country. The defense ranks lower, coming in at 118th by allowing 39.4 points per game. Like Arizona State, Colorado is also coming off a bye week.
