LOS ANGELES -- Turnover margin is often the deciding factor in football, and it was no different today as the Sun Devils three turnovers ultimately cost them this game - and along with it, perhaps a shot at a second straight national title. QB Matt Wesley was responsible for all three giveaways, one coming off an INT and two coming off fumbles.

The loss is Arizona State's 2nd of the season. It drops them one game back of Boise State in the Pac-12 South, setting up a potential decisive matchup in two weeks. Even more importantly, it will drop them well behind in the BCS rankings, where they will now need a lot of help to get back in one of those top two spots.
