09/07/2008 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rudy Carpenter threw for 345 yards and three touchdowns, boosting 15th-ranked Arizona State to a 41-17 rout of Stanford.
Carpenter completed 27-of-36 passes and was picked off once for the Sun Devils (2-0, 1-0 Pac-10), who pulled away with a pair of TDs in the fourth quarter.
Dimitri Nance had 75 yards rushing and a TD, and Keegan Herring ran for 59 yards and a score for Arizona State.
"We had some blown opportunities, but I thought we played well on both sides of the football," said Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson. "We were able to keep everything in front of us, which was our key to the game."
Tavi Pritchard went 11-of-18 passing for 97 yards for the Cardinal (1-1, 1-1), while Toby Gerhart ran for 67 yards and two TDs in a losing cause.
Gerhart's one-yard run had Stanford within 27-17 with 3:07 left in the third quarter, but Dan Knapp caught a two-yard TD pass from Carpenter less than five minutes into the fourth.
Troy Nolan then came up with an interception of Pritchard, and the Sun Devils sealed the win when Herring scored from a yard away with 7:15 remaining.
Thomas Weber hit a 23-yard field goal midway through the opening quarter, but Stanford went ahead on Gerhart's five-yard TD run later in the first.
Weber nailed a 21-yard field goal 13 seconds into the second, and ASU went ahead for good later in the period on Carpenter's 11-yard TD pass to Michael Jones.
Aaron Zagory kicked a 28-yard field goal for Stanford with 52 seconds left in the second quarter, but Carpenter hit Kerry Taylor in stride for a 45-yard score just 23 seconds later for a 20-10 halftime margin.
Nance scored on a one-yard run early in the third.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
