Arizona State lost at Mississippi State Saturday night, 24-20. 

The Sun Devils trailed 17-3 at halftime, but would rally in the fourth quarter to take a 20-17 lead with under two minutes to play. The Bulldogs would score on a 58-yard TD pass from Blake Shapen to Brenen Thompson and then sealed the victory with an interception of Sam Leavitt. 

Arizona State falls to 1-1 and will return home to Sun Devil Stadium next Saturday to face Texas State.

What were the big takeaways from the game? Where do the Devils go from here? Jordan Hamm breaks that down in the video above.
