TEMPE, Ariz. Sergio Romo Giants Jersey . -- Arizona State and its new quarterback turned an uncomfortably close game into a fourth-quarter blowout.Manny Wilkins passed for 180 yards, ran for 89 and a touchdown and even hurdled a would-be tackler in his first college start and the Sun Devils pulled away for a 44-13 victory over FCS foe Northern Arizona on Saturday night.Arizona State led just 10-6 before scoring on its final seven possessions.The second half was about more what I expected, Sun Devils coach Todd Graham said, and the first half was nerve-wracking. We expected to score a lot more points in the first half than we did.They scored 24 points in the fourth quarter.Well be fine, Wilkins said. I take complete accountability for that (the slow start) and next week well get rolling faster.Freshman NKeal Harry took a lateral from Wilkins and raced 34 yards for a touchdown and Kalen Ballage ran 30 yards for a score in the outburst.Northern Arizonas Case Cookus completed 23 of 33 passes for 369 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown to Elijah Marks. Marks had eight catches for 174 yards.Wilkins, a redshirt sophomore who was named the starter by coach Todd Graham on Friday, completed 20 of 27 passes with one interception.He had some things you see a first-time starter do, Graham said, and then he did some great things.Zane Gonzalez kicked three field goals, including a career-long 53-yarder, for the Sun Devils, who havent lost to the Lumberjacks since 1938.At times, we showed ourselves to be very capable; a team that can play at a high tempo, NAU coach Jerome Souers said. But what Im concerned about mostly is our ability to deal with adversity that came in the second half.The game looked like an Arizona State romp at the start.Ballage returned the opening kickoff 27 yards and the Sun Devils went 44 yards on seven consecutive running plays with Wilkins running 13 for the touchdown.The Lumberjacks took the second-half kickoff, with Cookus completing passes of 39, 14 and 12 yards, and advanced to the Sun Devils 1-inch line. But a false start penalty and delay of game pushed them back and Haacks 23-yard field goal cut Arizona States lead to 10-6.Gonzalezs 53-yarder boosted the ASU advantage to 13-6 with 7:35 left in the third quarter.Arizona State linebacker Marcus Ball was tossed from the game after he was called for targeting in a helmet-to-helmet hit with NAU receiver Jabril Taylor. Ball must sit out the first half of the Sun Devils game against Texas Tech next Saturday. Graham said linebacker Salamo Fiso and defensive lineman Ami Latu didnt play because of disciplinary reasons.STRANGE PLAYSWhen Wilkins took off up the middle in the second quarter he literally hurdled North Arizonas Keith Graham. The run helped set up Gonzalezs 33-yard field goal.And as the first half ended, Cookus let it fly in a `Hail Mary under extreme pressure. The Sun Devils Kareem Orr tried to catch it, but it bounced off his chest and into the hands of Butler at about the 10-yard line and he took off toward the end zone. But his toe barely went out of bounds at the Sun Devils 2-yard line and the half ended.Northern Arizona had the ball at the end only because of another bizarre occurrence. Lumberjacks punter Dylan Kegans dropped the snap and then kicked the ball 13 yards downfield, where it bounced off the helmet of a Sun Devil and into the arms of Northern Arizonas Corbin Jountti for a first down.THE TAKEAWAYNorthern Arizona: The Lumberjacks are picked to win the Big Sky and they stayed with the Sun Devils most of the night. Cookus, a sophomore, looks to put up big numbers when Northern Arizona drops to competition its level.Arizona State: The Sun Devils and their young quarterback finally found their rhythm late in the third quarter to give them a boost of confidence with the Red Raiders coming to town next week.UP NEXTNorthern Arizona drops down considerably in the level of competition when the Lumberjacks travel to Western Illinois next Saturday.Arizona State needed their late surge to gain some confidence because the Sun Devils face a much sterner test when they are host to Texas Tech next Saturday.

After the game on Wednesday, a dejected Alfredsson was asked if the team could win three in a row to rally and take the series. "Probably not," he said. "Their depth and power play right now, it doesnt look too good (for us)." When asked about the comments again, the 16-year NHL veteran suggested that his comments were misunderstood. "Theres no denying were in tough," he told reporters. "Was it taken out of context? Probably, but thats fine. I can handle that."

Willie Mays Giants Jersey. . "Its behind us and over and were going to Pittsburgh to play," he reiterated on Thursday. MacLean added that there are lineup changes being considered for Game 5, but nothing would be finalized until game day. He did, however, say that Craig Anderson - who was lit up for six goals before being pulled in favour of Robin Lehner - would get the start. "Our goaltender allows us to play with a certain amount of freedom," said MacLean. "But at the same time, we have to play for him, too." One issue for the Senators has been their second period problems, as the team has been outscored 13-4 in the middle stanza during the postseason. "They have been able to start periods better than we have," MacLean said flatly. "We need to come out harder."  Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
