Stanford registered its third straight win over Arizona State when these two squads hooked up in Palo Alto on September 21st. The Cardinal scored a 42-29 victory in front of their home crowd as they pounded out 240 rush yards on 49 carries.
Stanford carried a 29-0 lead into break and it extended its advantage to 39-7 at the end of three quarters; however, the Sun Devils showed how explosive and dangerous they can be in the game's final frame.
ASU scored 21 fourth quarter points and it amassed more yards (417) and first downs (20) than Stanford in spite of holding ball almost 11 fewer minutes.
Now the Sun Devils get another crack at the Cardinal and this time they have the benefit of playing in their own stadium. Tempe has certainly been kind to ASU this season as they are 7-0 in their home city with impressive wins over USC, Washington, and Arizona.
Arizona State also appears to be peaking at the right time, having won seven straight games since falling 34-37 to Notre Dame in Dallas on October 5th.
Stanford, as evidenced by its ranking, has played some salty football as well. The Cardinal, who notched their fourth consecutive double digit win season with Saturday's 27-20 victory against the Fighting Irish, owns wins over Washington, UCLA, and Oregon to prove it.
However, both of Stanford's losses this season came on the road as it fell 21-27 at Utah and 17-20 at USC.
Notable Trends: Arizona State is 4-1 both straight up and against the spread in its last five games as a home favorite with a spread between 0 and 3.5 points.
