Arizona State football officially unveiled its 2026 schedule, and one matchup immediately stands out above the rest.

Arizona State fell into an early 10-0 hole, plagued by penalties and the absence of key playmakers, while Houston’s Conner Weigman and Dean Connors orchestrated a relentless offensive assault. Despite a late rally behind Jeff Sims, the Sun Devils’ comeback hopes were dashed, closing the night with a 24-16 defeat and a lesson in discipline—on and off the field.
