Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo had himself a game in the Big 12 championship on Saturday.

Through three quarters, Skattebo had 16 carries for 170 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, helping the Sun Devils out to a dominant 45–10 lead over Iowa State.

Skattebo runs like a freight train, and on one particular play, inspired quite the call from color commentator Jesse Palmer.

“Skattebo-hoooooo,” Palmer teased as the broadcast went to commercial, in the sing-song voice of an Adam Sandler character. The moment left play-by-play man Joe Tessitore unable to contain his laughter.

As the game began to creep its way from a title fight to a blowout, Palmer and Tessitore found plenty of ways to entertain themselves.

With a win, the Sun Devils will secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.
