Arizona State Pulls Away from Hawai'i 30-12
Hawai'i's Micah Alejado threw 49 passes and completed 25 of them for 252 yards. Arizona State ran 29 times for 232. One of those teams scored 30 points and it was not the one that threw it 49 times.
Hawai'i got the first points, a 44-yard Sean Olvera-Harle field goal with 13:41 left in the first quarter, and that was the only lead the Rainbow Warriors had. Cutter Boley found Reed Harris from 18 yards before the quarter was half over, Cardae Mack ran in from a yard out to make it 14-3, and Carson Smith kicked a 47-yarder with 15 seconds left in the half for 17-6. Mack broke a 67-yard touchdown run with 51 seconds left in the third, and it was 24-6 going into the fourth.
Hawai'i did score once in the fourth, Alejado to Audric Harris from 32 yards, but the two-point try failed and it was 24-12. Boley and Reed Harris connected again from 9 yards with 1:55 left, which settled it at 30-12. Arizona State finished with 421 yards to 317, sacked Alejado three times, and Hawai'i threw an interception. The Sun Devils had none.
The Sun Devils threw only 31 passes and still got 421 yards because Mack and the ground game averaged eight yards a carry (232 yards on 29 carries). Take away the 67-yarder and it is 23-12.
Arizona State moves to 3-2. Hawai'i falls to 1-5. For fantasy, Harris had 8 catches for 91 yards and two scores, and Mack had 154 yards on 13 carries from a back who had 9 carries all year before this one.
