Sportsman of the Week Ending 12/8/2024


What a weekend of college football with all the most elite teams (and playoff bound) teams facing off for conference title in their title game.  One of the most intriguing games was in the newly reformed Big 12 that featured Pac 12 refugee Arizona State Sun Devils against the incumbent Iowa State Cyclones.  Experts had it forecasted close however they underestimated Sun Devils running back Cam Skattebo.  Skattebo probably should be in New York for the Heisman (different debate for a different day) but he was the man of the match in running all over the usually strong defensive minded Cyclones.  The senior only needed to carry the ball 16 times for over 170 yards and two TD's.  It was his third game in a row over 145 rushing to go with nine total touchdowns in those affairs as Arizona State has not only punched their ticket to the playoffs, but also the fourth seed and a bye week.  And whoever gets them in the second round will have a force to deal with.  Cam Skattebo is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week.
