Carpenter hooked-up with eight receivers against UW, including Matt Miller on five occasions (139 yards and three touchdowns) and Derek Hagan for nine receptions (115 yards). Overall, his 401 yards through the air is the second most in school history by a freshman (Jeff Krohn vs. Oregon, 2000, 432 yards) and his .794 completion percentage is a school record for the 31-40 attempt range, bettering the .771 mark (27-for-35) set by Krohn in 2001 against San Diego State.

His 84-yard punt return for a TD in the first quarter against USC (10/1) marked the first by a Sun Devil since current St. Louis Ram Shaun McDonald had a 78-yarder against USC on Nov. 4, 2000. It was the 10th longest punt return in school history (9th longest for a TD) and the longest by a Sun Devil since Eric Guliford had a 89-yarder against California in 1992.

ASU 27, WSU 24 (Last Time Out): Using the combined arms of their two Rudys, the Arizona State Sun Devils defeated the Washington State Cougars 27-24 behind a pair of defensive stands in the fourth quarter at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Wash. Freshman Rudy Carpenter threw for two touchdowns and 381 yards on 28-of-43 passing while sophomore tailback Rudy Burgess also threw for a touchdown. The Sun Devils scored on their first drive of the game as Carpenter moved the ball across midfield for the Sun Devils with long completions to receivers Terry Richardson and Chad Christensen. However, it was Burgess who threw the first touchdown pass of the game, finding Derek Hagan on a 43-yard halfback pass to give the Sun Devils an early 7-0 lead. Hagan finished the game with six catches for 139 yards. After recovering a fumble, Carpenter had a pass picked off in the end zone. Starting from the 20-yard line, the Cougars took advantage of the situation and Jerome Harrison tied the game when he broke free on a 61-yard touchdown rush. With just under three remaining in the first, the score was tied at 7-7. The Sun Devils struck quickly and scored before the end of the first quarter. Driving 87 yards in just 1:51, Carpenter led the charge with a 28-yard pass to Burgess. Finding sophomore tight end Zach Miller on two consecutive receptions for 13 yards, Carpenter connected with sophomore receiver Terry Richardson on a 10-yard touchdown pass to put the Devils ahead 14-7 at the close of the first quarter. Carpenter began the second quarter where he left off, finding Zach Miller for a gain of 19 yards to begin the Devils next possession. With the ball nearly at midfield, he then connected with Hagan for a 59-yard passing gain, which setup a 19-yard field goal by Jesse Ainsworth, extending the ASU lead to 17-7. The Devils then struck again quickly, forcing a WSU punt and driving 74 yards. After a 20-yard completion to Burgess brought the Sun Devils into the red zone, Carpenter found Zach Miller again, this time for a five-yard touchdown, giving the Devils a 24-7 lead. With the first half nearing its close, the Cougars chipped away at the lead, as Lorenzo Bursey returned the kickoff 39 yards to cross midfield. The Cougars’ Loren Langley nailed a 40-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 24-10 heading into the half. 2005 ARIZONA STATE FOOTBALL • PAGE 2 TEAM NOTES & PLAYER NOTES The Sun Devils opened the half with another scoring drive. Freshman Keegan Herring broke a 28-yard run to set the Sun Devils up to score more points. After reaching the goal line, an offensive pass interference penalty moved the Sun Devils back and a third down pass from Carpenter to Hagan for a touchdown was overturned after replay, forcing the Sun Devils to settle with a 33-yard field goal and a 27-10 lead. But the Cougars would not go quietly, as they scored the next 14 points to close the gap. On the next drive, Alex Brink had two 20-yard completions and WSU tailback Jerome Harrison continued to give the ASU defense fits, as he ran the ball in for a touchdown from the ASU seven-yard line. Following a punt by the Devils, the Cougars struck again quickly, gaining 91 yards in just 1:21. After guiding WSU to the 50-yard line, Brink connected with Jason Hill on a 49-yard reception to cut the lead to just 27-24 after three. The Cougars opened a see-saw fourth quarter with an opportunity to tie the game, but a field goal attempt by Langley from the 50-yard line hit the left upright. ASU drove down the field and entered WSU territory threatening to score, but a Carpenter fumble gave the ball back to the Cougars. With six minutes left, the Cougars had seemingly tied it after making a 25-yard field goal, but elected to accept an ASU offsides penalty and try for the touchdown from the one-yard line. ASU senior Dale Robinson dropped WSU’s Harrison for a one-yard loss and gave the ball back to the Devils. Taking over after a punt with just over five minutes remaining in the game, WSU again had a chance to tie the score. A short punt and a penalty had the Cougars lined up to score, but a 12-yard sack by ASU’s DeWayne Hollyfield on a third down play proved to be the difference maker in the game, as Langley missed a 52-yard field goal wide left on the next play and allowed the Sun Devils to escape with victory. Zach Miller led the ASU receivers with 10 catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. Rudy Burgess added to his passing touchdown with six receptions for 89 yards and Herring finished with 87 yards on the ground. Robinson led the Sun Devil defense with 10 tackles (seven solo) and one sack and Jamar Williams also added nine tackles (four solo).

That was apparent against Washington as Rudy Carpenter stepped into the starting line up and recorded 401 yards and three touchdowns on 27-of-34 passing in his first collegiate start. Koetter has guided several impressive debuts of Sun Devil quarterbacks, including Sam Keller, Andrew Walter and Jeff Krohn.

Walter become one of the highest ranking quarterbacks in both school and conference history under Koetter as he established program records for yards (10,617) and touchdowns (85), which also ranked fifth and first in the Pac-10, respectively.

Overall, Koetter has coached seven quarterbacks that have gone on to play in the professional ranks, including ASU's Walter (Oakland, 3rd round), Oregon's Joey Harrington (Detroit, 1st), Akili Smith (Cincinnati, 1st) and A.J. Feeley (Philadelphia, 5th), Boston College's Matt Hasselbeck (Seattle, 6th) and Boise State's Bart Hendricks (CFL Edmonton, FA) and Ryan Dinwiddie (Chicago, FA). Sam I Am: Junior Sam Keller, who ranks seventh in the nation with 2,165 passing yards (155-264) and threw for 20 touchdowns in the first seven games, will miss the remainder of 2005 following surgery to repair damage to the thumb on his right (throwing) hand. Keller joined an elite list, becoming only the sixth quarterback in ASU history to throw 20 touchdowns in a season and is already tied for eighth in ASU single-season record book with John Torok (1964). Keller's 669 yards in the first two games set the school record (for first two games of a season), previously held by Jeff Krohn who had 637 combined yards in the first two games of 2001 (San Diego State and Stanford). With 56 attempts and no interceptions vs. fifth-ranked LSU (9/10/05), he also broke Paul Justin’s record for consecutive attempts without an interception in a single game (51 vs. Houston, 1990). Keller had a string of 131 consecutive pass attempts without an INT snapped against topranked USC on Oct. 1, falling just six short of breaking the school record set by Mike Pagel in 1980. Keller has thrown two or more TDs in seven of his eight career starts and has thrown four or more TDs six times this season. He set career marks with 35 completions, 56 attempts and 461 yards against No. 5 LSU (9/10). His 461 yards were the ninth-best single-game performance in school history, while he has also tied for 8th on the ASU single-game chart with four TDs four times this season.

Over the last six games, Hagan has gained sole possession of the school's career receiving yards record (3,698) and TD record (26). He also holds the school career records for catches (242) and 100-yard games (18). With 46 catches over the last six games, Hagan leads the team with 61 catches for 969 yards and is fifth in the nation averaging 107.67 yards per game. His 61 grabs also is tied for the seventh-most in a single-season at ASU, giving him three of the top seven performances. Additionally, Hagan became just the 10th player in Pac-10 history to record 3,000 or more yards and 200 or more catches in a career and is currently second with 3,698 yards and is third with 242 catches.

Herring set the school record for net rushing yards in the first game of a career, passing the mark of 117 yards set by Woody Green against Houston in 1971. Junior quarterback Sam Keller led the Sun Devils on an impressive 14-play, 81-yard drive that ended with a three-yard run by sophomore Rudy Burgess to give ASU a 7-0 lead with just under six minutes to play in the first quarter. After forcing Temple into a punt, Keller took the Sun Devils to the air, finding junior receiver Jamaal Lewis on a 28-yard pass to cross midfield and then on a 24-yard touchdown pass to take a 14-0 lead as the first quarter ended. Temple opened the second quarter by punting away but got on the board with a safety after an eight-yard sack of Keller in the end zone. ASU answered with an interception by senior cornerback Mike Davis Jr. that set up a four-yard touchdown reception by sophomore tight end Zach Miller. Halfway through the second, ASU led 21-2. With the clock winding down in the first half, ASU got a 45-yard punt return from junior Terry Richardson to set up senior preseason All-American Derek Hagan on an 18-yard TD pass from Keller to give ASU a 28-2 halftime lead. ASU wasted no time in picking up where they left off in the second half as Herring rushed deep into Temple territory on a 33-yard gain before punching it into the end zone on a four-yard run to give the Sun Devils a 35-2 lead. Halfway through the third quarter, Herring got the call again, gaining 30 yards on the ground during a seven-play, 85-yard drive that resulted in another ASU touchdown, this time a 31-yard pass from Keller to Hagan. Temple responded with an 80-yard drive of its own, scoring when tailback Josh Bundy found the end zone on a one-yard rush. Through three quarters of play, the score was 42-9. In the final quarter of play, the Sun Devils’ No. 2 offense took over and added three touchdowns to the score with a 17-yard touchdown reception by redshirt freshman Nate Kimbrough, a two-yard TD rush by sophomore Antone Saulsberry, and a fouryard touchdown rush by sophomore Preston Jones. ASU gave up a second touchdown to Temple late in the fourth quarter but emerged with a 63-16 win. In just his second career start, Keller led the Sun Devils with 208 yards on 14-of-24 passing for a career-best four touchdowns. Ten different receivers made catches for the Sun Devils with four players scoring ASU’s five touchdowns in the victory. ASU’s receivers were led by Hagan who caught three passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns, while Lewis had two catches for 52 yards and his fifth career TD reception. #5/5 LSU 35, #15/15 ASU 31 Saturday, Sept. 10, 2005 • Kickoff: 6:15 p.m. Sun Devil Stadium • TV: ESPN • Temp: 95° Attendance: 63,210 The 15th-ranked Sun Devils came up short on their final drive of the night and fell to the No. 5/5 LSU Tigers 35-31 despite a career night from junior quarterback Sam Keller. The Tigers rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Sun Devils in front of a crowd of 63,210 at Sun Devil Stadium. The game was moved from Baton Rouge, La., to Tempe four days before the game due to the ongoing relief effort from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The Sun Devils got on the board first following a fumble recovery by junior defensive tackle Jordan Hill on the ASU 19-yard line. Leading the offense 81 yards down the field, Keller found junior tight end Jamaal Lewis on a 25-yard touchdown pass to put ASU on top 7-0 in the second quarter. The Tigers responded with an 80-yard drive that was capped off by a one-yard rush by Joseph Addai to tie the game late in the first half. However, the Sun Devils gained the advantage heading into the half when Keller found senior Matt Miller on a 44-yard completion to bring the Sun Devils across midfield and set up a 26-yard field goal by junior Jesse Ainsworth. On the first drive of the second half, Keller led the Sun Devils on a 75-yard march down the field. Finding senior tight end Lee Burghgraef on a 27-yard completion to bring the Sun Devils into the red zone, Keller finished the drive with a screen pass to sophomore Rudy Burgess that went eight yards for the TD. Following fumbles by both teams in the opponents’ red zone, the Sun Devils led 17-7 after three quarters. The momentum then shifted into LSU’s corner as the Tigers scored 28 points in the fourth quarter. LSU blocked an ASU field goal and Mario Stevenson returned the ball 55 yards for a touchdown to cut the lead to 17-14, while the Tigers blocked a punt and returned it 29 yards forth another TD on the next possession, erasing a 10-point deficit in less than two minutes. Trailing 21-17, the Sun Devils responded with a touchdown as a 19-yard pass to Burghgraef set up Keller’s second TD pass of the night to Lewis, this one a 26-yard down the sideline. LSU went to the ground on its next possession, rushing for 67 yards in an 80-yard drive that concluded with a five-yard touchdown rush by Addai to put the Tigers on top, 28-24, with just over eight minutes remaining. The Sun Devils again responded in turn with a 80-yard touchdown drive that fea- tured three receptions by senior receiver Derek Hagan for a total of 55 yards. Keller put the Sun Devils in the end zone with a four-yard pass to senior Moey Mutz, giving ASU the 31-28 lead. With 4:19 remaining in the game, LSU took over following a touchback on their own 20-yard line and drove to the ASU 39-yard line. Trying to convert on a fourth-and-10, Tiger quarterback JaMarcus Russel found Early Doucet on a double-roll in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown that gave LSU a four-point lead with 1:13 remaining. With a chance to win the game, the Sun Devils drove to the LSU 28-yard line but failed to convert on a fourth down in the 35-31 loss. Keller finished completed 35-of-56 attempts for 464 yards and four touchdowns (all career highs). Nine different ASU receivers had catches in the game, led by Hagan, who surpassed John Jefferson’s school record for career receptions in the game. Hagan finished with seven catches for 95 yards, while junior Terry Richardson had seven receptions for 75 yards. Lewis hauled in three receptions for 76 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, senior linebacker Dale Robinson made a career-best 15 tackles, including a career-high 11 solo stops, and had three tackles for loss, while junior safety Zach Catanese added 12 tackles in his second career game. #18/22 ASU 52, Northwestern 21 Saturday, Sept. 17, 2005 • Kickoff: 7:04 p.m. Sun Devil Stadium • TV: None • Temp: 93° Attendance: 55,029 Behind 197 yards and two touchdowns from freshman Keegan Herring and another four-touchdown performance from Sam Keller, the Arizona State Sun Devils defeated the Northwestern Wildcats, 52-21, in front of a crowd of 55,029 at Sun Devil Stadium. Striking first, Northwestern marched down field on an eight-play, 80 drive, led by quarterback Brett Basanez, who completed five of six passes on the drive, including a seven-yard touchdown strike to receiver Shaun Herbert. The Sun Devils answered back and quickly moved the ball down the field, as Keller connected with receiver Rudy Burgess on a 39-yard completion to set up a two-yard touchdown run by Herring. At the end of the first quarter, the score was even at 7-7. The Sun Devils posted 31 points in the second quarter, beginning right away with a four-play drive that scored less than one minute into the quarter. Keller found tight end Jamaal Lewis open on the sideline for a 36-yard touchdown reception. On their next possession, Keller found receiver Matt Miller for a 65-yard completion that brought the Devils down to the Northwestern 15-yard line and set up a 27-yard field goal by Jesse Ainsworth. Three minutes into the second quarter, the Devils led 17-7. After sophomore defensive end Kellen Mills forced a Northwestern fumble on their own 38-yard line, the Devils quickly took advantage of it and Keller found Hagan open in the end zone on a 24-yard completion. ASU then forced Northwestern into a quick three-and-out and Keegan Herring helped the Sun Devils score again with a five-yard touchdown rush, his second of the game to give the Sun Devils a 31-7 lead. Following up with an 80-yard drive, Northwestern used a combination of its passing offense and defensive penalties to score on a five-yard pass from Basanez to Herbert. However, the Devils punched it into the end zone one more time before the end of the half, as Keller connected with Burgess on a 15-yard touchdown completion. At the end of the first half, the Devils had a 38-14 lead. With the game soundly in hand, the Devils used a balanced attack of the run and the pass in the third quarter, striking again with 4:16 remaining on a 30-yard pass from Keller to Matt Miller, the only score of the quarter. With the starters sitting for both teams, Northwestern added a touchdown on a 12-yard completion from quarterback C.J. Bacher to Rasheed Ward and the Sun Devils’ quarterback Rudy Carpenter hooked up with Brent Miller in the end zone on a seven-yard touchdown to make the final count in the game 52-21. The Sun Devils tabulated a school-record 773 yards of offense in the game, getting 409 passing yards and four touchdowns from Keller on 20-of-31 passing. Herring's 197-yards rushing performance was the 22nd best in school history and the most by a Sun Devil since 2001 (226 by Delvon Flowers vs. Oregon State). Senior wide receiver Derek Hagan led all players with five catches for 90 yards and Matt Miller recorded a game-high 103 receiving yards on three catches with one touchdown. Josh Barrett led the Sun Devils on defense with eight total tackles and Zach Catanese and Jeremy Payton both notched seven tackles each. #18/17 ASU 42, Oregon State 24 Saturday, Sept. 24, 2005 • Kickoff: 7:10 p.m. Reser Stadium • TV: TBS • Temp: 71° Attendance: 41,374 A 28-point third quarter and a career night from senior All-American receiver Derek Hagan helped lead the No. 18/17 Arizona State Sun Devils to a 42-24 Pac-10 opening victory over the Oregon State Beavers at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Ore. The Sun Devils improved to 3-1 overall and continued to display their high-powered offense with 475 yards of total offense. Through four games, ASU is averaging 47.0 points and 591.8 yards of total offense per game. OSU fell to 2-2 on the season, losing for just the seventh time in the last 25 Pac-10 games at Reser Stadium. With his career-best 193-yards, Hagan moved past John Jefferson as ASU’s alltime leading receiver with 3,160 yards. He also tied his career high with 11 catches and GAME RECAPS recorded the 10th-best receiving performance in school history. In addition to extending his school record with his 15th 100-yard game, Hagan also had a pair of touchdown catches to move into a tie for 10th place in the Pac-10 career record books with 24. Getting things going early, the Devils wasted no time in scoring, as Sam Keller found his tailback Rudy Burgess on ASU’s third play from scrimmage on a 49-yard reception up the middle of the field. Less than three minutes into the game, the Sun Devils had an early 7-0 lead, which they would never relinquish. Holding the Beavers scoreless for the remainder of the first quarter and much of the second, the ASU defense forced a costly turnover for the Beavers when senior linebacker Jamar Williams intercepted a Matt Moore pass on ASU’s 33-yard line. Keller quickly turned the turnover into a score, finding Hagan for a 39-yard reception that set up a one-yard rush by Burgess to extend the lead to 14-0 late in the second quarter. OSU mounted a 74-yard drive near the end of the half, but was stuffed inside the five, forcing the Beavers to settle for a 22-yard field goal, which cut the lead to 14-3 heading into halftime. The Sun Devil defense made another statement to open the third quarter. With the Beavers threatening from the ASU 36-yard line, Keno Walter-White forced a fumble and the Sun Devils recovered. Quickly attacking down the field, Keller found tight end Brent Miller on a 41-yard completion to set up a five-yard touchdown strike from Keller to Hagan. The Beavers found the endzone on their next possession as Moore found receiver Mike Hass twice for receptions of 49 and 29 yards to set up a two-yard rush by Yvenson Bernard to cut the ASU lead to 21-10. After a sideline official was injured on the ensuing kickoff, forcing a 15 minute delay, the Sun Devils struck hard, scoring 21 unanswered points in less than five minutes to end the third quarter. Moving 87 yards in under two minutes, Keller found receiver Matt Miller on a 37-yard touchdown reception to give the Sun Devils a 28-10 advantage. After two more turnovers by the defense, Keller hit Hagan on a 28-yard TD pass and freshman tailback Keegan Herring rushed up the sideline for a 29-yard touchdown, punctuating the 28-point quarter. Keller turned in another strong performance for the Devils, going 19-for-36 for 365 yards and four touchdowns. Herring and Burgess combined for 94 rushing yards and each scored a touchdown. The defense was led by the aggressive play of Williams, who recorded a game-high 13 tackles (nine solo) in addition to a forced fumble, an interception, and one sack for a loss of six yards. DeWayne Hollyfield collected three of ASU’s season-high eight sacks. Zach Catanese, Dale Robinson, Chad Lindsey, and Jordan Hill, also recorded one sack in the game. #1/1 USC 38, #14/15 ASU 28 Saturday, Oct. 1, 2005 • Kickoff: 12:41 p.m. Sun Devil Stadium • TV: ABC • Temp: 95° Attendance: 71,706 A big halftime lead and a sold out crowd at Sun Devil Stadium proved to not be enough for the Arizona State Sun Devils to overcome the relenting attack of the defending champion USC Trojans. Junior quarterback Sam Keller’s 347 passing yards and two touchdowns on 26 of 45 attempts could not counterbalance five interceptions as ASU fell to USC, 38-28, in front of a crowd of 71,706 in Tempe. Neither team was able to gain an edge on offense, as the game opened with four straight punts in the opening 10 minutes of play. However, junior Terry Richardson put the Sun Devils on the board first, returning a punt 84 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 ASU lead after one quarter of play. The Trojans began the second quarter by intercepting Keller to set up their offense in the red zone. However, a quarterback sack by linebacker Jamar Williams forced the Trojans to settle for a 36-yard field goal. Two possessions later, the Sun Devil defense stonewalled the Trojans on fourth down and gave ASU possession on its own 37 yard line. Driving the Sun Devils 63 yards down the field, Keller found Jamaal Lewis on two big passes, a 23-yard strike on the sideline and a seven yard touchdown pass. Forcing USC to punt once again, the Sun Devils used a 22-yard return by Richardson to set up another scoring drive. After Keller found Derek Hagan on two big passing plays, freshman tailback Keegan Herring carried the ball five yards for a touchdown that gave the Devils a 21-3 advantage. Following the kickoff, the Trojans again failed to convert on a fourth down attempt after driving down within the ASU 30-yard line and enabled the Sun Devils to take an 18-point lead into the half. On their opening drive of the second half, the Trojans struck back, scoring in just over two minutes. After USC quarterback Matt Leinart brought the ball across midfield with four consecutive completions, junior tailback LenDale White ran 32 yards through the defensive line for a Trojan touchdown, cutting the gap to 21-10. However, the Sun Devils were unable to capitalize on a turnover by USC on its next possession and another interception by Keller set up the Trojan offense on a short field. Using its two-pronged attack of White and junior tailback Reggie Bush, the Trojans narrowed the gap even further, as Bush rushed for a touchdown to cut the ASU lead to four at 21-17 at the end of three quarters. USC began the fourth quarter by forcing the Sun Devils into a three-and-out punt. Starting from their own 11-yard line, the Trojans drove down the field and took their first lead of the game, 24-21, as Leinart scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper. With just under nine minutes to play, the Sun Devil offense took over from its own 30yard line and answered the bell. After Keller connected with sophomore tailback Rudy Burgess with a 24-yard pass, he found graduate tight end Lee Burghgraef on a one- yard bootleg pass in the end zone to give the Sun Devils the lead back at 28-24. But the Sun Devils were again unable to stop the rushing offense of USC and surrendered a 34-yard rushing touchdown to Bush, giving the Trojans a three-point advantage with 3:44 remaining. Hagan led all Sun Devil receivers with his second straight game of double-digit receptions, hauling in 10 catches for a game-high 162 yards. Lewis contributed five catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. Keller finished 26-for-45 with two touchdowns and 347 yards. The Sun Devil defense was led by senior linebacker Dale Robinson with 14 tackles (6 solo) and half a sack. Junior safety Zach Catanese also led the defense with nine solo tackles (13 total) and a forced fumble. #25 Oregon 31, #17/20 Arizona State 17 Saturday, Oct. 8, 2005 • Kickoff: 7:23 p.m. Sun Devil Stadium • TV: FSN • Temp: 88° Attendance: 62,789 Unable to hold on to an early 10-0 lead, the Arizona State Sun Devils gave up 24 straight points to the No. 25 Oregon Ducks, en route to a 31-17 loss in front of a crowd of 62,789 at Sun Devil Stadium. The loss was the Sun Devils’ first to the Ducks in the last four match ups and dropped ASU to 3-3 on the year and 1-2 in Pac-10 play. The Devils started it off early in the first quarter when senior lineman DeWayne Hollyfield blocked a field goal attempt by the Ducks on their own 38-yard line. With a short field, junior quarterback Sam Keller found sophomore tight end Zach Miller on an 18-yard reception and then connected with senior wide receiver Derek Hagan on a 20yard touchdown pass. The touchdown was the 25th career for Hagan, moving him into a tie for first place all-time in the Sun Devil record books and a tie for eighth-place in the Pac-10 records. He finished with four receptions for 46 yards. Looking to build on the early lead, the ASU defense forced a turnover deep in Oregon territory when Jamar Williams intercepted a pass at the Oregon 30-yard line and returned it to the eight-yard line. Three plays later, the Devils made the lead 10-0 with a 34-yard field goal from Jesse Ainsworth. The Ducks answered to begin the second quarter. After forcing the Sun Devils into a three-and-out, the Ducks called on placekicker Matt Evensen for a 42-yard field goal that made the score 10-3. Following another three-and-out by ASU, Oregon quarterback Kellen Clemens connected with wide receiver Demetrius Williams on a 61-yard reception that set up a six-yard touchdown pass from Clemens to tailback Terrence Whitehead. Trading turnovers, the Devils punted it away to the Ducks with just 0:37 remaining in the first half. Running the hurry-up offense, Oregon moved the ball across the midfield and, with two seconds remaining in the half, Evensen nailed a 51-yard field goal to give the Ducks the 13-10 lead and the momentum heading into the half. Starting the second half, Clemens ran the option for the Ducks to set up Evensen for another field goal, again from 42 yards, to increase the lead to 16-10. With the ASU offense still stalled, Oregon blocked punter Chris MacDonald’s kick at midfield and recovered the football at the ASU one-yard line. A one-yard rush by Whitehead and a two-point conversion capped 24 unanswered points by the Ducks to give them a 14point lead with 7:33 remaining in the third. Junior QB Sam Keller led the Sun Devils on a 69-yard scoring drive in just 1:25 to get the Sun Devils back within a touchdown. Finding junior tight end Jamaal Lewis on a 42-yard reception down the middle of the field, Keller completed a one-yard pass to Zach Miller in the corner of the end zone to cut the Oregon lead to 24-17.

Stanford 45, ASU 35 Saturday, Oct. 22, 2005 • Kickoff: 2 p.m. Stanford Stadium • TV: None • Temp: 65° Attendance: 31,711 Despite a spirited attempt at a fourth quarter comeback, the Arizona State Sun Devils were unable to erase a 31-point deficit in the final frame and fell to the Stanford Cardinal, 45-35, in front of 31,711 at Stanford Stadium. Sophomore wide receiver Terry Richardson led all Sun Devil receivers with six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. Stanford began the first quarter by blocking a Sun Devil punt on ASU’s first possession of the game, giving the Cardinal possession just 15 yards from the goal. One play later, Stanford quarterback Trent Edwards found tailback Anthony Kimble on a touchdown reception to put the Cardinal ahead 7-0. However, the Sun Devils countered with a balanced attack, as Preston Jones rushed 23 yards to the one-yard line to set up a touchdown on a keeper by Sam Keller. On the ensuing possession, Stanford drove 70 yards on 10 plays and took the lead back on a two-yard rush by Kimble. The Cardinal opened the second quarter by forcing a three-and-out and driving GAME RECAPS 86 yards down field. A 21-yard touchdown reception from Edwards to receiver Mark Bradford gave the Cardinal a 14-point edge. However, the gap would become wider when Stanford blocked another ASU punt, this time taking over on the Sun Devil 36yard line. With a short field, Edwards again connected with Bradford, this time for 31 yards, and a touchdown, giving Stanford a 28-7 lead. With time running out in the half, the Sun Devils punted away to try and end the quarter, but an illegal kicking penalty allowed the Cardinal to expand its lead by a field goal, as Michael Sgroi nailed a 20-yard field goal as time expired, giving Stanford a 31-7 advantage at the break. Despite trailing by six scores, the Sun Devils refused to quit. Behind the rushing of Keegan Herring, the Sun Devils drove 80 yards and scored on an 18-yard pass from Carpenter to Rudy Burgess. Stanford held a 45-14 lead after three quarters. The fourth quarter belonged to the Sun Devils, as backup QB Rudy Carpenter opened the final frame with a 16-yard pass to senior receiver Derek Hagan to bring the ball across the midfield line. Then, Carpenter connected with Richardson on a 38-yard touchdown reception to trim the Cardinal lead to 45-21. Holding steady on defense, the Sun Devil offense again marched down the field, driving 88 yards on 15 plays. Utilizing a 36-yard reception by Richardson, the Sun Devils called on Burgess for a four-yard carry to score another touchdown for ASU. A successful conversion attempt from Carpenter to receiver Matt Miller left the Sun Devils with a 45-29 deficit with 3:46 remaining in play. Taking over with under two minutes remaining, Carpenter led a 75-yard scoring drive in just 52 seconds for the Sun Devils. After finding Hagan on a 15-yard gain, Carpenter connected with tight end Brent Miller on a 19-yard touchdown reception to make the score 45-35. However, the comeback attempt was finally thwarted by the Cardinal when Stanford successfully received the onside kick attempt by ASU and ran out the remainder of the clock, escaping with a 45-35 victory. The Sun Devils got 304 passing yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-25 passing from backup Rudy Carpenter and Burgess led all rushers with 75 yards and one TD. Zach Miller and Derek Hagan also recorded six receptions for the Sun Devils, compiling 92 and 76 yards, respectively. Senior Dale Robinson and junior Zach Catanese led the Sun Devil defenders with eight tackles each and Catanese contributed a sack. ASU 44, Washington 20 Saturday, Oct. 29, 2005 • Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. Sun Devil Stadium • TV: FSN Northwest • Temp: 81° Attendance: 57,678 Redshirt freshman Rudy Carpenter made his first start and Dale Robinson recovered two fumbles as Arizona State defeated the Washington Huskies, 44-20, in front of 57,678 fans at Frank Kush Field. This was the first time ASU and UW met since 2002 when ASU came out with a 27-16 victory. The Huskies got on the board first on the opening drive with a 30-yard field goal from Evan Knudson. On their ensuing drive, the Sun Devils marched 51 yards on nine plays with Carpenter’s 1-yard touchdown rush capping the drive to give ASU a 7-3 led midway through the first quarter. On the day, Carpenter passed for 401 yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Sun Devils extended their lead after Carpenter found Matt Miller for a 12-yard touchdown strike, which gave the Sun Devils a 14-3 advantage after the first quarter. Miller had a career day with five catches for 139 yards and three touchdowns. As the second quarter began, UW closed the ASU lead to four at 14-10 after a 1-yard touchdown rush by James Sims. Sims posed the most problems for the Sun Devils as he rushed for 143 yards on 24 carries, finding the end zone twice. Only 1:15 came off the clock before Carpenter found Miller for his second touchdown, this time a 69-yard pass play, which extended the ASU lead to 21-10. The Washington defense, which recorded seven sacks on the afternoon, contained the explosive ASU offense through most of the second quarter. Just before the half, Sims crossed the goal line for a 3-yard score, which cut the ASU lead to 21-17 with 1:48 remaining. In the closing seconds on the half, ASU marched right back down the field and junior kicker Jesse Ainsworth booted a 21-yard field goal as time expired with ASU on top, 24-14. An array of ASU penalties and injuries to the offensive line produced no points for ASU in the third quarter. The Sun Devil defense remained strong as they only allowed another Knudson field goal in the third quarter and ASU took a 24-20 lead into the fourth. A tough Husky defense kept UW hanging around as no team managed to score through the majority of the fourth quarter. With just over five minutes remaining in the game, however, Carpenter found Matt Miller for their third touchdown connection, this time a 10-yard strike, capping a 10-play, 64-yard drive that put ASU ahead, 31-20. A Jamar Williams interception from UW quarterback Isaiah Stanbeck put ASU at midfield and sophomore tailback Preston Jones found the end zone on a 10-yard run to seal the win for the Sun Devils. To finish off the first Sun Devil win since September 24, Josh Golden intercepted UW back-up quarterback Johnny DuRocher and ran it back 58-yards for the touchdown as time expired as the Sun Devils won going away, 44-20. The Sun Devils netted just 77 rushing yards on 43 carries and got most of their offensive production through the air as Carpenter threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns. The Sun Devil defense created some big plays and linebacker Dale Robinson recovered two fumbles and Golden and Williams each had an interception. The Sun Devils came through when they needed to as they converted 10-of-15 on third down and averaged 15 yards per pass completion. In addition, ASU scored all five times it was in the red zone.
