You’re A Wizard Harry
-N’Keal Harry has a catch in all 33 games of his career at ASU. He finished with four catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.
-The touchdown reception was the 19th of his career, moving him into sole possession of ninth in school history.
-His 95 yards brought him to 2,468 career receiving yards and ahead of Eric Gulliford and D.J. Foster into sixth in Sun Devil history.
-His 92-yard punt return was the third-longest in Sun Devil history and the longest since Morris Owens' school record 95-yard return in 1972.
-It was ASU’s first punt return for a touchdown since Tim White’s 70-yard return against Washington State in 2016.
He’s the Manny
-With Manny Wilkins’ 44-yard touchdown pass to N’Keal Harry in the first half, Manny moved into a tie for ninth in program history in career touchdown passes (44).
-Wilkins’ 45-yard touchdown rush to seal the game was the longest rush of his career. He now has 16 rushing touchdowns in his career, second among all ASU quarterbacks behind only Mark Malone (21).
All About the Benjamins
-Eno Benjamin has eclipsed 100 rushing yards five times this season and reached the mark with 125 yards and two touchdowns in the first half against the Trojans.
-Benjamin finished with 185 yards in the contest, the second-most by a Sun Devil running back against the Trojans ever behind only J.R. Redmond’s 214 yards in 1998.
-Throughout ASU history, only four running backs have had 100 or more yards in at least seven games in a season, a pace Benjamin will have a chance at with four games remaining this season. (Freddie Williams and Art Malone reached 8, Woody Green reached 7 twice and Demario Richard did so most recently in 2015.)
-Only 39 running backs had reached 125 rushing yards against USC since the 2000 season. Eno Benjamin did that in the first half alone on Saturday.
-Benjamin’s 185 yards were the 20th-most allowed by USC in history and the 11th-most since 2000.
Breaking Trojan Trends
-USC had won 19 consecutive home games entering Saturday’s contest, its longest since a school-record 21 in a row from 2001-04. It was the second-longest active home winning streak in the country behind only Alabama’s 24.
-USC had won 14 consecutive Pac-12 games at the Coliseum, its longest since a school record 15 in a row from 2001-04.
-USC had forced four of its seven opponents this season under 21 points. ASU scored 24 points by halftime.
Odds and Ends
-ASU’s 95-yard touchdown drive to make it 24-7 in the second quarter was the longest drive by yards for the Sun Devils this season.
- With USC’s only first quarter points coming on special teams, the Sun Devil defense has now held six of eight opponents this season scoreless in the first quarter of action.
-Darien Butler and Evan Fields matched career high with eight and seven tackles, respectively.
-Tyler Johnson finished with a career-best six tackles.
