Arizona State 52, Washington State 31

The Sun Devils knocked off Washington State 52-31 today at Sun Devil Stadium.  Arizona State improves to 9-2 on the season.  They are still in the running for the PAC12 South Championship, they will need a bit of help though.  Arizona State started out real slow in this one but once they started rolling they looked unstoppable.  It helped that Washington State kept shooting themselves in the foot too.  The Territorial Cup on Friday looms large for both ASU and the UA!

Observations:

• After trailing 21-7, ASU outscored WSU 45-10.  
• That slow start from the Sun Devils offense had me worried. 
• What can't D.J. Foster do?  Great talent! 
• Taylor Kelly looks to be back in form.
• Arizona State has been deadly in the red zone this season. 
• Mike Leach really likes to throw the football. 
• Arizona State does a real nice job of turning turnovers into points.
• Total Yards:  Washington State 622, Arizona State 330
• Rushing Yards:  Arizona State 98, Washington State 21
• Passing Yards:  Washington State 601, Arizona State 232

• Not having Jaelen Strong playing didn't help ASU today.  
• Cameron Smith really stepped up his game today.
• Did the early start time effect the Sun Devils??  
• Arizona State needs to keep Jordan Simone healthy and on the field. 
• Marcus Hardison was in beast mode today.
• Zane Gonzales just continues to roll.  
• Matt Haack is quietly having a nice season as punter for Arizona State.
• Luke Falk is really flying under the radar.  Nice player.

• Up next?  @ Arizona this coming Friday!
