It may not have been pretty, but it was still a win. After defeating Oregon State 35-20 last week, we continued to stay undefeated in both Pac-12 play and at home. This week, we head up to Utah, our new Pac-12 South rival. The Utes (2-2 overall) are searching for their first Pac-12 win. The game kicks off at 12:30 p.m. AZ Time (1:30 MT) and will be televised on FSN.
Jamal Miles has been turning himself into a household name. Miles, a junior from Peoria, Ariz., became the only player in the nation this year to have returned a punt for a touchdown, a kickoff for a touchdown, thrown a touchdown pass and caught a touchdown pass. Miles returned a punt for 78 yards and a touchdown with 6:11 in the second quarter that gave ASU a 21-13 lead over Oregon State. It was the first punt return allowed by the Beaver special teams all season. Miles tallied 249 all-purpose yards in the 35-20 win, including 87 on punt returns and 55 on kickoff returns. He had 45 rushing yards on six carries and led Sun Devil receivers with 62 yards. Miles has caught three touchdown passes this season. After last week’s performance, Miles was named Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week, Punt Returner of the Week by College Football Performance Awards, and was named to the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll for the second time this season.
