Arizona State may very well have suffered an early-morning loss even as it was in the process of easily handling Colorado.
Late in the third quarter of the ASU-CU game, Taylor Kelly went down with an injury to his lower right leg. The starting quarterback was taken into the locker room and, a short time later, returned to the sidelines.
Unfortunately for the Sun Devils, he returned on crutches with a walking boot on his right foot.
During the telecast, it was reported that the school would only say that the injury was to Kelly’s right foot and that he wouldn’t return. An update after the game is expected from head coach Todd Graham.
Kelly has started every game for the Sun Devils the past two-plus seasons. One slight bit of good news for Kelly and ASU is that they are on a bye this coming weekend, and won’t take the field again until Thursday, Sept. 25 against UCLA.
Junior Mike Bercovici has taken over for Kelly in the Buffs game, and would do the same moving forward if the starter misses any time.
