Story summary

On Saturday, Arizona State defeated Kansas 24-17 at Wembley Stadium in London during their inaugural Union Jack Classic game. The key play came when Jaren Hamilton, nicknamed "Turbo," returned a kickoff for a touchdown by running 100 yards to give Arizona State a significant lead late in the second half. Additionally, defensive lineman Hyrum Vaeono recovered a fumble and ran it back 77 yards into Kansas territory, though he was stopped short of scoring. The Sun Devils led 10-7 at halftime after taking advantage of several Kansas turnovers, including one where the punt went out of bounds from their end zone with just seconds left in the half. Despite these setbacks, the Jayhawks managed to stay competitive but ultimately fell short, leaving their record at 1-2 for the season while Arizona State improved to 2-1.
