The Arizona State Sun Devils ran away with a win in the Big 12 title game on Saturday, cruising past the Iowa State Cyclones by a score of 45-19.
Leading the way for the Sun Devils was running back Cam Skattebo, who burned the Cyclones defense for 170 yards and two touchdowns on just 16 carries. You like angry runs? Skattebo loves angry runs.
Cam Skattebo is going to be the highlight tape we randomly pull up w/ the boys 15 years from now.

Skattebo earned high praise from the broadcast booth, and went as far as to hit a Heisman pose after one of his scores in the game.
For those new to the Skattebo experience, seeing the throwback, freight train of a running back was quite an experience. As Cameron Selerno of CBS Sports noted on social media, Skattebo’s truck-stick style of play was nothing new. He’s been doing this since high school.
For those watching Cameron Skattebo for the first time, here is the best run I’ve seen from a high school football player. This was in the California state title game in 2018. pic.twitter.com/dxqC98DGCu

Fans were delighted, but not exactly surprised that this was the type of high school tape Skattebo had been producing. Others were inspired to share more clips from his career before Arizona State.
