Boley Throws Six Touchdowns as Arizona State Hangs 70
Six touchdown passes on 27 attempts. That was Cutter Boley's game, and it is most of the reason Arizona State beat Morgan State 70-7. Boley went 21 of 27 for 387 yards, and two of his six scores covered 54 and 56 yards to Grayson Rigdon (a running back, who caught exactly two passes and scored on both).
It was 21-0 before Morgan State got on the board, a 2-yard Jordan Barnett run with 4:20 left in the first quarter. That turned out to be the only answer the Bears had. Reed Harris made it 28-7 from 28 yards out before the quarter ended, and it was 49-7 at the half after Rigdon, AJ Ia and a second Harris score. Rigdon's 56-yarder opened the third, David Avit and Jason Brown Jr. added short runs, and the board read 70-7 with 4:34 left in the third. Nobody scored after that.
The yardage looks like a typo: 681 total for Arizona State, 432 through the air and 249 on 35 carries (about seven a rush). No interceptions, one lost fumble (Boley's, the only blemish on his night), and two sacks on defense. Ten touchdowns went to eight different players, which is the kind of spread that makes a depth chart look generous.
The Sun Devils open 1-0 and Morgan State starts 0-1. For fantasy owners, Boley's 51.3 points are the headline, but Harris (31.7 on six catches for 137 yards) and Rigdon (27.2 from four carries and two catches) did plenty of damage too. Omarion Miller added 24.2 with eight catches and a touchdown. When a quarterback throws for six, everyone he throws to eats.
