TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona State senior safety Jordan Simone, the national leader in tackles per game, is out for the season after injuring his right knee over the weekend.

Linebacker Laiu Moeakiola injured his shoulder on the same play during which Simone went down, but he could play this week against rival Arizona.

Simone entered Saturday's game first nationally with 7.8 solo tackles per game. He also led the Sun Devils with 8.3 solo tackles per game last season.
