? The All-Time Series: With the 59-14 victory, the Sun Devils improve to 15-9 all-time against the Ducks dating back to the first meeting in 1966. After snapping a four-game losing streak to the Ducks last year with a thrilling 45-42 victory at Autzen Stadium, ASU has now notched back-to-back wins over Oregon for the first time since 1996-97. The win also marked the first home win for the Devils over the Ducks since 1997.
? Devils Light Up Scoreboard Against the Ducks: With 59 points and 497 yards of total offense, the Sun Devils continued a trend of putting up big offensive numbers against the Ducks in recent years. ASU has combined for 1,087 yards of total offense and 104 points in the last two games against the Ducks (543.5 yards and 52 points per game average). The trend has also carried over the last four games, with ASU averaging 45.75 points per game during that span. ASU scored 55 points in a double-overtime loss in 2000, 24 in 2001, 45 in 2002 and 59 in today's victory.
? Ron Pritchard Honored at Halftime: Former Sun Devil All-American linebacker Ron Pritchard was honored during a halftime ceremony for being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Pritchard becomes the fourth ASU player and sixth Sun Devil to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Arguably the greatest linebacker in ASU history, Pritchard was ASU's first consensus All-American. His name and No. 52 were also added to the facade of the Sun Devil Stadium Press Box.
? Walter Notches Another Big Game vs. Oregon: Junior quarterback Andrew Walter had a big game for the Sun Devils, going 18-for-28 (64%) for a season-high 316 yards and three touchdowns. Walter notched his fourth multi-TD game of the year and 13th of his career. He also passed for over 300 yards for the second time this year (305 last week vs. USC) and seventh time in his career. With his 316 yards passing, Walter now has 5,936 in his career to crack the top five in the ASU record books. His big day was fueled by a solid third quarter (7-for-9, 169 yds, 2 TD) and an even better total second half (10-for-14, 215 yds, 3 TD). After throwing for a Pac-10 and ASU record 536 yards last year vs. the Ducks (31-for-53), Walter has now combined for 49 completions for 852 yards and seven touchdown passes in his last two games against Oregon. For the season, Walter is 114-for-213 for 1,513 yards and 12 touchdowns.
? Hagan Leads Receivers: For the second straight week, sophomore wide receiver Derek Hagan led the receiving corps with seven catches for 108 yards. He put together back-to-back 100-yard games after catching eight passes for 170 yards last weekend against USC. With Hagan leading the team for the second straight week, ASU broke a streak of a different receiver leading the team in each of the first five games of the year. Six different receivers caught passes, including touchdowns from Hagan, senior Skyler Fulton and sophomore Matt Miller.
? Pick Pockets: The Sun Devil defense recorded interceptions on the first two possessions of the game to extend a streak in which ASU has recorded at least one pick in each of the six games this season. ASU has now had seven different players combined for 11 interceptions this year. Jamar Williams ran back a 50-yard interception for a touchdown in the first quarter for ASU's third INT return of the year for a TD. The three TD returns are the most since 1980 (4) and only two off the school record of five set in 1974. Junior Chris McKenzie recorded his first career pick.
? Stewart and Shivers on Patrol: ASU's dangerous defensive combination of Jason Shivers and Riccardo Stewart again led the Sun Devil defense. Shivers led the Devils with nine tackles. Stewart had seven total tackles and one tackle for loss. Junior linebacker Justin Burks also had a good game with six tackles. Stewart leads the defense for the season with 54 total tackles and Shivers is second with 49.
? Matt Miller Sets Career Highs: Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Matt Miller recorded a pair of career highs in the victory. He hauled in his first career TD reception on a three-yard pass in the third quarter from Walter and also hauled in a career-long 49-yard reception. Miller finished with four catches for a career-high 70 yards. His previous high was 68 yards set last year at Oregon,
? A Couple of Long Plays: Junior Loren Wade also had a 56-yard rushing TD for ASU's longest rushing play of the year and the longest run by a Sun Devil since Mike Williams busted a 59-yarder vs. UCLA (Dec. 1, 2001), a span stretching 20 games. Andrew Walter also hooked up with Matt Miller for a 49-yard play for the longest passing play of the year.
