Cam Skattebo hit the Heisman pose after a dominant first half in the Big 12 championship game

We can’t un-hear Jesse Palmer saying ‘Skattebo’ like Adam Sandler.

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo had a monster first half against Iowa State during Saturday’s Big 12 championship game at AT&T Stadium.

Skattebo rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries while also hauling in a pass for five yards. He was the driving force for Arizona State to be up 24-10 at halftime over Iowa State.

After one of his touchdowns, Skattebo reminded the nation that he should be a Heisman Trophy finalist after such a dominant season by hitting the Heisman pose for the broadcast.

As he did that, ESPN broadcaster Jesse Palmer channeled his inner Billy Madison by saying Skattebo’s last name like Adam Sandler. We’re not kidding.

This is a textbook example of chaotic good in college football. Get Skattebo to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, and let Palmer announce his name just like the Sandman as he walks out.

Kenny Dillingham’s shocked face after an Arizona State near-disaster became an instant meme

Kenny Dillingham looked like his whole life flashed before his eyes.

Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham saw his life flash before his eyes as his team nearly entered disaster territory against Iowa State on Saturday.

As the two teams faced off in the Big 12 championship game at AT&T Stadium, Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo took a direct snap in the first half and scrambled the wrong direction with Iowa State defenders in pursuit.

In a last-second decision to prevent a massive loss, Skattebo threw the ball into no man’s land and nearly saw it picked off by an Iowa State defender.

Dillingham’s face recapped the close call as well as anyone’s could, and it turned into a delightful meme for your enjoyment.

Arizona State’s Cam Skattebo scores touchdown against BYU, signs autograph

Arizona State and Cam Skattebo had a big first half against BYU

Arizona State scored three quick touchdowns against BYU on Saturday.

Cam Skattebo had all the scores in the first half and had time after his third TD to sign an autograph in the end zone.

It was either that or he was signing a contract for another NIL deal.

Five Sun Devils the Ducks have to pay close attention to on Saturday

Arizona State may be offensively deficient, but that doesn’t mean the Ducks can just overlook some good pieces to that puzzle.

If all of the Pac-12 schools were asked if they wanted Cam Skattebo on their roster, all 12 would most likely answer with a question of their own.

Who?

Now if they were asked that same question, all 12 would be jumping up and down with both hands in the air.

The tailback transfer out of Sacramento State chose Arizona State for his next destination and as it turns out, the Sun Devils were the lucky ones to get his services. Not even his old coach at Sac State, Stanford’s Troy Taylor, were so lucky.

Skattebo made the right choice and it’s been Arizona State’s saving grace on offense as he is their most legitimate threat. ASU has been through three quarterbacks, none of which has separated themselves from the other through injuries and poor play.

Arizona State does play hard for the entire 60 minutes and could have two or three more wins if the ball bounced a different way. If Oregon wants to get out of Tempe with an expected victory, the Ducks will have to pay close attention to these five players.
