Bray throws for 400 yards, #1 Arizona State beats #9 Stanford 52-28 in Pac-12 Championship
GLENDALE -- Mark Bray racked up 469 total yards and 4 scores, Steve Williams ran for 138 yards, and the Arizona State offense finished its scorched earth type march through the Pac-12. There were road bumps today, though, as a pair of INT's in the 3rd quarter gave Stanford ample opportunity to take control of this game. They were unable to do so thanks to a withering pass rush led by Chad Henry, who had 6 TFL's and 3 sacks on the day. Those types of big plays repeatedly killed important Stanford drives and allowed the Sun Devils to close it out in the 4th.
With the victory, Arizona State claims their second consecutive Pac-12 title. Last year, the prize was a trip to the Rose Bowl.....this time, it's a trip to the National Championship game where they will face #2 Georgia.
