AP Player of Week: Jeff Sims sets Arizona State QB rushing record with 228 yards against Iowa State

The Associated Press national player of the week in football for Week 10 of the season:

The sixth-year quarterback, starting in place of the injured Sam Leavitt against Iowa State, became the first Big 12 player to have 200 yards rushing and 175 passing since Texas' Vince Young in the 2005 season's national championship game against Southern California.

Sims' 228 yards rushing in the 24-19 road win set an ASU quarterback record, and his 88-yard touchdown run was longest by a Sun Devils player since 2020. Sims’ previous career high for rushing yards was 128 for Nebraska against Minnesota in 2023.

Sims completed 13 of 24 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown on a chilly, wet day in Ames.

North Carolina State running back Jayden “Duke” Scott ran 24 times for a career-best 196 yards and one touchdown in place of injured Atlantic Coast Conference rushing leader Hollywood Smothers to help the Wolfpack upset Georgia Tech 48-36. Scott's previous high rushing total was 86 yards against Campbell.
