What happened: Both coaches agreed to cut the fourth quarter from 15 minutes to 10, with officials announcing the change before the period began. Morgan State requested the reduction, and Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham accepted it.

Why it matters: The agreement shortened regulation by five minutes in a non-weather-related adjustment. The result sends Arizona State into its first road test at 1-0 while Morgan State returns home at 0-1.

By the numbers: Arizona State scored 28, 21 and 21 points across the first three quarters while gaining 688 yards. Cutter Boley threw six touchdown passes in his Arizona State debut.

What to watch: Arizona State visits No. 8 Texas A&M next. Morgan State hosts Virginia University of Lynchburg.
