2018 Week 8

TEMPE -- Arizona State's vastly improved defense has been largely overshadowed by the brilliance of the offense, but it was hard to overlook today after forcing a season high 6 turnovers. Led by All-American DT Chad Henry (2 sacks, FF, 2 FR), the Sun Devils defense consistently won the line of scrimmage and forced the Ducks into multiple mistakes. QB Mark Bray (5 TD's) and the offense were more than capable of taking advantage of those mistakes, the result being the most points scored in Arizona State football history.

Arizona State moves to 6-0 with the victory and is tied with conference newcomer Boise State atop the Pac-12 South. They'll face a significant challenge next week when they travel to Los Angeles to meet the #11 USC Trojans. The Sun Devils were defeated last time they played in the Coliseum, two years ago, costing them an opportunity to play for the Pac-12 crown. Ranked #1 this time around, the stakes are even higher than that.
