Sam Leavitt threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jordyn Tyson with 16 seconds left to give Arizona State a 35-31 victory over Kansas in Tempe, Ariz., on Saturday night, also capping a fourth quarter that featured five lead changes.

The Sun Devils (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) won the program's first Big 12 home game over a Kansas team that has lost five straight games overall, with the Jayhawks (1-5, 0-3) holding a fourth-quarter lead in four of those setbacks.

In Saturday's contest, Kansas went ahead 31-28 with 2:04 remaining on Jalon Daniels' 34-yard scoring pass to Quentin Skinner.

Arizona State then drove 75 yards in eight plays, a march punctuated by Leavitt's go-ahead TD pass to Tyson.

Kansas tried a Hail Mary from the Arizona State 49 as time expired, but Daniels' pass was batted down by Xavion Alford in the end zone.

Leavitt completed 14 of 24 pass attempts for 157 yards with four touchdowns and an interception.

Cam Skattebo led an Arizona State rushing attack that totaled 313 yards, racking up 186 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries.

Daniels was 18-of-31 passing for 260 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Skinner caught six passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

Kansas was limited to a 20-yard field goal by Tabor Allen, giving it a 17-14 lead, at the end of its first possession of the second half despite having a first-and-goal at the Sun Devils 4 after a targeting penalty.

Arizona State responded on the first play of the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run by Skattebo, who lined up in the wildcat formation.

Kansas quickly struck back with a 31-yard touchdown run by Devin Neal with 10:49 remaining in the game, putting the visitors up 24-21.

The third lead change of the frame occurred when Leavitt connected with Tyson on a 31-yard touchdown pass that gave the Sun Devils a 28-24 lead with 6:19 to go.
