Arizona State 26, Stanford 10

The Sun Devils improved to 5-1 on the season last night with an impressive 26-10 win over Stanford from Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe.  It was probably the Sun Devil's best overall performance of the season.  This win puts the Sun Devils in control of the PAC12 South.  Taylor Kelly will be back next week, hopefully he doesn't screw up the chemistry.  Nice win Devils, keep bringing it!!

Observations:

• Wise decision to start Mike Bercovici tonight.  22 of 33 for 245 yards, 1 TD. 
• This was the weakest Stanford team that I've seen in awhile. 
• D.J. Foster has still caught a pass in every game of his ASU career. 
• Arizona State is now 20-0 under Todd Graham when leading at halftime. 
• Jalen Strong will be playing on Sundays.  
• Time of Possession:   Arizona State 34:57; Stanford 25:03
• First Downs:  Arizona State 23, Stanford 14
• Turnovers:  Stanford 2, Arizona State 0
• Todd Graham coached teams are playing ranked teams much tougher. 
• Arizona State's short yardage offense leaves a bit to be desired. 
• That was the best the young Sun Devils defense had played this year.  
• Do not turn the ball over to Arizona State!
• Only 2 penalties on the Sun Devils, you have to like that!
• Zane Gonzales was 4 for 4 on FG's, it was nice to have him back. 
• That Stanford offense was not at all impressive and their defense looked overrated.
• It's always nice when the Sun Devils win when the Tillman's are in the house. 
• Mike Bercovici is doing okay for himself off the field too. 
• Yes, that was Barry Sanders son carrying the ball for Stanford. 
• You really cannot beat that Sun Devil fanbase.  
• Up next?  @ Washington next Saturday night.
