Arizona State enters this weekend's contest fifth in the Big 12 Conference with a 7-3 overall record, but is on the outside looking in when it comes to defending its conference title. Sun Devils' star quarterback Sam Leavitt is out for the season, but former Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims has filled in nicely.

Sam Leavitt's agent is denying a report that the Arizona State quarterback is looking into transfer options, writing: 'Y'all are a joke' about report.

ASU football will face Colorado at 6 p.m. on Saturday, while Arizona will host Baylor at 11 a.m., the Big 12 announced on Sunday.

On3 is reporting through Steve Wiltfong and Pete Nakos that it is "doubtful" that Sam Leavitt stays with the Sun Devils next season.

The Sun Devils were ranked as the number 25 team in the nation in the week following two major victories over the Iowa State Cyclones and West Virginia Mountaineers to move to 7-3 on the season - they still also have an outside shot of returning to the Big 12 title game with a 5-2 record in the league.

Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is “doubtful” to return to ASU next season, according to reporting from On3 and The Athletic. And while Leavitt's agent and brother, Dallin, says a decision has not been made yet,

College football journeyman and redshirt senior, Jeff Sims, was thrust into the spotlight and made the most of it, breaking ASU’s single-game rushing record for a quarterback, totaling 228 yards on the ground, and leading the Sun Devils to a 24-19 victory over Iowa State. His performance earned AP National Player of the Week honors for week 10.

These three Sun Devils earned Big 12 player of the week honors after helping ASU to a 25-23 win over West Virginia on Nov. 15.

Two teams facing up-and-down seasons collide today when the Arizona State Sun Devils face the West Virginia Mountaineers hoping to secure a win at home.

The Sun Devils defeated West Virginia 25-23 in another close game as Jeff Sims led the way with three touchdown passes.
