Nov. 8 at Arizona State 55, Notre Dame 31
And You Care Because … Five takeaways helped Arizona State get up early and survive a late rally. The Sun Devils roared to a 34-3 lead with Taylor Kelly throwing two touchdown passes including a 13-yarder to Jaelen Strong and a 43-yard play to Cameron Smith, and the defense got into the act with Damarious Randall returning an interception 59 yards for a score. It was all Notre Dame for most of the second half with Everett Golson throwing two touchdown passes and Cam McDaniel running for two one-yard scores as part of a 28-point run, but after a 25-yard Amir Carlisle catch to pull the Irish within three, ASU answered with a five-play scoring drive finishing off with Demario Richard’s second touchdown of the day. Notre Dame’s last gasp was thwarted by a Lloyd Carrington pick six, and Kelly finished it off with a two-yard scoring run.
