The Red Raiders would quickly answer back, however, taking advantage of a failed onside kick by the ASU.

Tonight’s Arizona State ASU Sun Devils vs Texas Tech Red Raiders college football game has a start time schedule of 10:00pm eastern time and will air on TV channel FS1 / Fox Sports 1.

His sophomore season in 2015 was stunted due to a bout with mononucleosis and he would finish the season with just 653 rushing yards on 125 carries in addition to finding the end zone four times on the ground.

The first quarter ended with Arizona State trailing 14-9, but the score wouldn’t stay that way for long.

After starting off strong against the Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin last week, Texas Tech is back in action tonight against the Sun Devils of Arizona State. Ballage tied the record set by Illinois’ Howard Griffith in 1990, scoring seven of his eight touchdowns rushing, with the other coming via a 39-yard scoring catch with 11:18 remaining in the first half. Ballage said after the game to FS1 ” They (offensive line) blocked their asses off for me today, I don’t care if we score 1 or 20 touchdowns”.

That final touchdown made him one of five players in the FBS to have eight touchdowns in a game.
