Though West Virginia football led ASU just 6-3 after the first quarter, the Cactus Bowl turned into a high scoring affair. These statistics contributed to WVU's 43-42 victory.


D.J. Foster's consecutive games with a catch. He recorded a reception in every game of his career, marking a Pac-12 record and holding the longest active streak in the FBS.


WVU redshirt senior quarterback Skyler Howard's throwing yards, setting a career and Cactus Bowl record. He also threw five touchdowns.


Senior wide receiver Devin Lucien's receiving usage in the first half. Redshirt senior Mike Bercovici threw for 205 yards; Lucien caught 116 of them. However, he only received 28 in the second half.


Tim White had 289 all-purpose yards. 79 of them were receiving, 177 were on kickoff return and 33 came from punt return. He had two receiving touchdowns and a defensive point-after attempt.


Senior defensive back Kweishi Brown gave up four touchdowns. He got burned again late, but the would've-been 70-yard touchdown was slightly overthrown.


Antonio Longino had three tackles for losses, giving him 22.5 this year. It’s the sixth-most in ASU history.


Zane Gonzalez’s 16 points today gave him 368 in his career, breaking the previous ASU record. He’s still a junior.
