You would probably expect these teams to be a little off after the lengthy weather delay and that has been the case early in the second half.
Oklahoma State just went 3-and-out, but interestingly didn’t even try to run on the drive. Alan Bowman had three straight incomplete passes.

The finish of the Arizona State vs Oklahoma State Big 12 college football game can be seen on FOX in Arizona and Oklahoma.
For out of market fans, it can be seen on FS1 and FS2.
The game is scheduled to resume at 5 p.m. MST and 7 p.m. in Oklahoma after as lengthy weather delay. ASU holds a 21-14 lead entering the second half of action at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater.
The ASU vs Oklahoma State Big 12 college football game is scheduled to resume at 5 p.m. MST (7 p.m. in Oklahoma).
The game, which is being played at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, has been in a weather delay because of lightning in the area. It has also rained heavily at the stadium.
ASU leads Oklahoma State at the half, 21-14. The Cowboys will receive the ball to start the second half.
The teams are scheduled to begin warming up at 4:30 p.m. MST.
Some writers at the game have speculated about what time the ASU football vs Oklahoma State game could resume, if it in fact resumes.
Might it start again around 6 p.m. MST? Again, it’s all just speculation at this point as we wait to see if the weather will cooperate enough to resume this Big 12 Conference game in Stillwater.
Oklahoma State Athletics posted the following update: “Fans, there is another band of storms approaching the area. The delay could be lengthy. Sit tight and we will update you as we know more information.”
The ASU vs Oklahoma State game is in a weather delay because of lightning in the area.
The game was moved up from a 4 p.m. MST kickoff to 12:30 p.m. kickoff in an attempt to beat the lightning and thunderstorms, but the game in Stillwater, Oklahoma has been suspended because of those issues.
They have emptied Boone Pickens Stadium of fans in the seating area as a precaution, with the scoreboard reading:  “Thunderstorms with lightning are in the area and we are suspending play until further notice. If you are located in open air seating, proceed calmly to the area located under the stadium seating at this time.” 
The NCAA’s lightning safety rules say: “To resume athletics activities, lightning safety experts recommend waiting 30 minutes after both the last sound of thunder and after the last flash of lightning is at least six miles away, and moving away from the venue. If lightning is seen without hearing thunder, lightning may be out of range and therefore less likely to be a significant threat. At night, be aware that lightning can be visible at a much greater distance than during the day as clouds are being lit from the inside by lightning. This greater distance may mean that the lightning is no longer a significant threat. At night, use both the sound of thunder and seeing the lightning channel itself to decide on when to reset the 30-minute return-to-play clock before resuming outdoor athletics activities.”
According to one interpretation of Big 12 rules, in the event of inclement weather continuing, the game could be called because Arizona State and Oklahoma State have played two quarters. If the game was called, ASU would win the game, 21-14, making that late touchdown in the first half very important for the Sun Devils.
But not everyone agrees. The wording says that “if more than one-half” of the game has been completed. ASU and Oklahoma State have played one half, not more than one half of their game.
It’s likely however, that the conference will do all it can to get the rest of this game in, if it can safely do so.
The Sun Devils have a 21-14 lead on the Cowboys at the half in Stillwater, thanks in large part to Cam Skattebo.
The ASU running back has 80 yards on 16 carries, with a 1-yard touchdown run.
He also has two catches for 61 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown reception.
Sam Leavitt is 12-for-18 for 198 yards, with two touchdown passes in his return from injury. His other TD was a 22-yard strike to Jordyn Tyson early in the first quarter.
Alan Bowman is 13-for-19 for 151 yards, with one touchdown pass and one pass intercepted for the Cowboys.
His TD pass was a 1-yard pass to Brennan Presley that tied the game, 7-7.

Javan Robinson just intercepted Alan Bowman at the ASU 48, our first turnover of the game.
But what happened after the play was even more interesting.
ASU’s Justin Wodtly received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was ejected from the game.
The reason, according to the referee? For spitting on a player.
Yes, spitting.
Wodtly was furious about the call, arguing his case to coach Kenny Dillingham. The FOX broadcast did not have video of the play.
The kicking woes continue for the Sun Devils. Parker Lewis just missed a 47-yard field goal attempt that was wide right, leaving ASU without any points on its second possession of the game.
It was the first field goal attempt for Lewis since Dec. 4, 2021, when he played at USC.
ASU’s drive went for 59 yards over 11 plays and took 5:14 off the clock. Jordyn Tyson couldn’t hold on to a pass on 3rd & 8 for ASU, forcing the field goal attempt.

Welcome back, Sam Leavitt.
The ASU QB just connected on a 22-yard pass to Jordyn Tyson to give the Sun Devils a 7-0 lead over Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Cam Skattebo had a key 29-yard rush on 3rd & 1 at the ASU 48 for a first down on the drive.
ASU’s first drive went for 75 yards over eight plays. It took 3:39 off the clock.

Score: Arizona State 7, Oklahoma State 0 (11:21 left in first quarter)
A lot is on the line in Stillwater in this game.
Oklahoma State is 0-5 in the Big 12 and is on a five-game losing streak. This is the Cowboys’ Homecoming game, so you know people are going to be fired up trying to see their team get a much-needed victory.
As for Arizona State, a win for the Sun Devils would be their sixth of the season. Why is that important?
They would become bowl eligible with the sixth win. That would be a huge accomplishment for a team that was picked to finish last in the Big 12 Conference this season and for a team that went 3-9 in each of the past two seasons.
Sam Leavitt is set to return at quarterback for ASU against Oklahoma State after missing the Sun Devils’ loss to Cincinnati with an injury he suffered against Utah.
Leavitt appeared good to go in warmups at Boone Pickens Stadium, according to The Arizona Republic’s Michelle Gardner.
He has completed 90-of-152 passes this season, with eight touchdown passes and four passes intercepted. He has also rushed 55 times for 279 yards and four touchdowns.
Three different kickers worked on field goal kicking this week for the Sun Devils, and coach Kenny Dillingham did not say which would get called upon if needed in today’s game.
ASU has missed three field goals and two extra points in the past four games. The field goal misses were from 38, 41 and 48 yards.
Will we see Ian Hershey, Carston Kieffer or Parker Lewis as the placekicker against the Cowboys? All three were out on the field in warm ups, according to The Arizona Republic’s Michelle Gardner.
There hasn’t been any rain yet in Stillwater for the game, but it is overcast at Boone Pickens Stadium.
The game was moved up from 4 p.m. MST to 12:30 p.m. MST because of expected inclement weather later in the day in Oklahoma.
Between six and eight inches of rain is expected in Stillwater later today.
The Sun Devils have not played in poor weather conditions yet this season, but the forecast all week has called for rain so they did practice with wet footballs. Rainy conditions could play a factor in the previously mentioned ASU football kicking woes.
It was 68 degrees at kickoff, with 81% humidity and wind at 12 miles per hour. Storms are in the forecast later today.
Here’s a look at the uniforms for both teams today.
