STANFORD, Calif.
Stephen Curry 1 Low Shoes . -- Tyler Gaffney
ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns, Anthony Wilkerson added 68 yards and
another score, and No. 5 Stanford started strong in a 42-28 victory over No. 23
Arizona State on Saturday night in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. The
defending conference champions controlled every facet of the game to turn the
only matchup between ranked opponents this week into a 29-0 halftime lead. The
Cardinal (3-0, 1-0) scored in the air and on the ground, forced two turnovers,
blocked two punts, tallied 10 tackles for loss and recorded three sacks. Taylor
Kelly threw for 367 yards, including three touchdown passes in the fourth
quarter, and Jaelen Strong caught 12 passes for 168 yards and a score in an
otherwise disappointing showing for the Sun Devils (2-1, 0-1). Arizona State
beat Big Ten champion Wisconsin in a controversial finish last week in the
desert. Stanford showed more diversity on both sides of the ball than it had in
solid, but not overwhelming, victories against San Jose State and Army. The
Cardinals funky formations and disguised defences had the Sun Devils dazed and
dizzy, again displaying the disparity between the past four league champions --
Stanford and Oregon -- and everybody else. Kevin Hogan completed 11 of 17 passes
for 151 yards and two touchdowns to Ty Montgomery to lift Stanford to its 11th
straight victory. Montgomery, held without a touchdown last season after being
slowed by a nagging knee injury, finished with four catches for 62 yards. He has
at least one touchdown in every game. Cardinal contributions came from all over.
Josh Mauro, making his first career start in place of injured defensive end
Henry Anderson, backed off his pass rush and stuck his left hand out to corral
Kellys pass for an interception. The play extended Stanfords streak of forcing a
turnover to 27 games -- the longest in the country -- and set up Montgomerys
17-yard touchdown catch. Gaffney ran for a short TD after Devon Cajustes diving,
34-yard reception. Wilkerson scampered 13 yards for another score, and
Montgomery sliced up the middle for an easy 30-yard touchdown. The Cardinal
capped off the one-sided start when Blake Lueders blocked his man into the
punter. The ball deflected into the end zone and was kicked out for a safety to
give Stanford a 29-0 halftime lead. Ben Gardner blocked a surprise punt by
Kelly, and Gaffney followed with a 16-yard TD run to give Stanford a 39-7 lead
late in the third quarter. The worst news of the game for Stanford came when
officials ejected safety Ed Reynolds for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Kelly in the
fourth quarter. Under the new targeting rule, Reynolds could miss the first half
of the next game at Washington State unless the conference overturns the call.
Kelly threw touchdown passes to Chris Coyle (45 yards), Strong (7 yards) and
Marion Grice (6 yards) in the fourth quarter to make the game look closer than
it was. Kelly completed 30 of 55 passes and threw an interception in a
desperation heave to the end zone on the final play. The late rally put a charge
into Cardinal coach David Shaw, who put Hogan and the offensive starters back in
the game. But Arizona State wasted its best chances to seize momentum earlier.
Grices 2-yard TD run finished off a 1:42 drive to open the second half. Then
Robert Nelson intercepted a pass from Hogan to give the Sun Devils the ball at
Stanfords 34, but the Sun Devils turned it over when Grice dropped a pass on
fourth down. The loss was another humbling setback for an Arizona State program
trying to take the next step under second-year coach Todd Graham. The Sun Devils
began this season by blowing out Football Championship Subdivision opponent
Sacramento State and then scored one of the programs biggest victories in recent
years last Saturday night in a 32-30 victory over then-No. 20 Wisconsin that
ended with Pac-12 officials getting publicly reprimanded.
