TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State has shown a knack for pulling out comeback wins under coach Kenny Dillingham, usually with Sam Leavitt leading the charge.

Jeff Sims took his comeback turn with Leavitt out, keeping the Sun Devils in position to repeat as Big 12 champions.

Sims accounted for 288 yards and three touchdowns, Jesus Gomez kicked a 49-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and Arizona State kept its Big 12 title hopes alive with a 25-23 win over West Virginia on Saturday.

“Right now, we're getting it done,” Dillingham said. “It's so cool watching these guys through all the adversity, it's like, 7-3, we're still in this thing.”

The Sun Devils (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) returned from their bye week a game behind No. 8 Texas Tech with six teams in the mix to play in the Big 12 title game.
