Texas Tech football lost its first game of the season at Arizona State on Saturday 26-22, and the Sun Devils fans storming the field after the game resulted in a potentially dicey moment for a Tech star. As you can see in this video, Texas Tech defensive lineman Lee Hunter is seeing yelling at an Arizona State fan, and then you can see Hunter push the fan, before being removed from the situation by Texas Tech staffers.
Here’s what it looked like.
Thankfully, Lee Hunter did have Tech staff members to take him away.
This was a heavy-weight fight between the reigning Big 12 Champions against the heavy favorites in 2025, six games in. And after Arizona State tacked on the only seven points of the third quarter, the Sun Devils entered the fourth quarter with a 16-7 lead. Then, the fireworks began in the final minutes. Arizona State lead 19-7, but Tech’s offense woke up, in part thanks to strong special teams. Tech had an 11-play, 48-yard drive that cut the lead to 19-14. Then, after forcing a three-and-out, and a great punt return, Tech was in business at the ASU 12-yard line. Will Hammond connected with Reggie Virgil in the corner of the end zone for a score and Tech was up 21-19 with two minutes to play. But Sam Leavitt said, “Hold my beer.” Texas Tech went 75 yards in 10 plays, only taking 1:26 off the clock, and Raleek Brown punched it in from one yard out to give Arizona State the 26-22 lead with :33 seconds remaining. Texas Tech’s Hail Mary came up short as the Sun Devils walked away with a win.
