Snake eyes: Jake Fette channels Jake Plummer by throwing a TD, catching another in win over Colorado

In a game held at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, Arizona on November 7, 2026, Arizona State Sun Devils quarterback Jake Fette (2) put in a remarkable performance against the Colorado Buffaloes. The game saw Fette throwing a touchdown and catching another, mirroring a memorable feat from 30 years ago when Jake Plummer did the same in a victory against UCLA in 1996.

A crucial moment occurred in the second quarter when ASU was down by three points. Facing a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line with little room, Fette opted for a pass to freshman running back Cardae Mack. As Fette ran left, Mack threw the ball, channeling his high school self to toss it to an open Fette for the touchdown. This play resulted in ASU's first points of the game.

Jake Fette finished the game with 13 completions on 19 attempts for 222 all-purpose yards, including his second touchdown of the game. Despite his strong performance, Fette expressed dissatisfaction with the offensive unit's overall play. ASU secured a 20-10 victory over Colorado, marking their fifth win of the season, following a pattern of alternating wins and losses each week.
