The Arizona Sun Devils, #25, made quick work of the visiting Nevada Wolf Pack on Saturday. The big blow came in the 2nd quarter when the Sun Devils scored 24 points to take a 31-14 lead at the half. It was still a winnable game for the Wolf Pack at that point. One of the Wolf Pack’s scores came on an interception that was returned for a touchdown.

Up until the half, the Wolf Pack’s offense was not doing so well. However, they closed the half with an 80-yard scoring drive. In the 3rd quarter, it was all Arizona. A couple minutes into the second half Rudy Carpenter hooked up with Shaun Dewitty for a 22-yard TD strike. Six minutes later Rudy Carpenter threw another TD. This time it was for 25 yards to Terry Richardson. The Wolf Pack’s offense was shut down in the third.

Going into the fourth, the Sun Devils had a comfortable 45-15 lead and the game was over. The Wolf Pack managed to score one last TD (12 yard drive) thanks to incredible field position. However, it was too little too late. The Sun Devils tacked one more TD on the score for good measure by going 73 yards in five plays. Ryan Torain capped the drive off with a 15-yard TD run. The Arizona Sun Devils destroyed the Nevada Wolf Pack 52-21. This game wasn’t as close as the score indicates either.

Arizona QB Rudy Carpenter had a great game. He was 17 of 26 for 333 yards. He threw five TD’s and 1 interception. He also had 13 yards on the ground, which included a 12 yard scamper.

The Sun Devils had 347 yards in the air and not one Arizona receiver had more than 80 yards receiving. The ball was peppered all over the field. Arizona finished the game with 486 total yards of offense. The Wolf Pack had a respectable 306 yards of total offense, but they had 4 turnovers and just couldn’t get the job done. Both teams were pass heavy in their game approaches. Arizona is now 2-0, while Nevada drops to 0-2 on the season.
