TEMPE -- The Arizona State Sun Devils (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) is looking to take on the mantle as a top-tier contender in the Big 12 with a game against the Houston Cougars (6-1, 3-1) on Saturday evening in Tempe.

The Sun Devils have been well-documented to be short handed this week - especially facing the absence of star WR Jordyn Tyson - while the Cougars are largely intact health wise.
