Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is expected to play against No. 7 Texas Tech this Saturday. He has been listed as probable on the Big 12’s availability report after showing significant progress in practice this week. Leavitt is recovering from a lower-body injury that sidelined him during ASU’s recent 42-10 defeat against Utah.
Leavitt’s Injury and Comeback
